Prince William might miss Kate Middleton's birthday because of his busy schedule for the week ahead. With this report, it looks like the royal couple is changing plans for this year as they fopcus more on their royal responsibilities.

Kate will celebrate her birthday on January 9 and she will already turn 35 but it looks like William might not be there to celebrate with her wife on her special day as per Celeb Dirty Laundry. Exactly on that day, the Duke of Cambridge has a scheduled visit at Centrepoint which has a mission of offering shelter and other valuable resources to homeless youth in the UK.

As reported on Vogue, William will really miss Kate's birthday but people wonder if they already have separate plans for the Duchess' special day. Besides, some reports are claiming that the royal couple has already changed plans for this year and this might include giving more priority to royal engagements and works that personal activities and affairs.

Then on January 11, Kate Middleton and Prince William are scheduled to visit the Child Bereavement UK Centre, an organization where Prince William has been a patron since 2009. After that, the second heir to the throne and his wife will also take part in one of the activities of the Family Support Group wherein they shall engage in discussions of feelings and memories regarding grief.

For Kate, she is also schedules to visit Early Years Parenting Unit of which she is the patron. This charitable organization offers intervention programs for families with children of five years of age and even younger to cater for their mental health.

This is not only the first time that Prince William did not make so much concern about Kate Middleton's birthday since the year 2006. Reports have escalated before that Kate's family celebrated her birthday in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and William was not even there.

But last 2009, William's car has been spotted in the Middleton's so people have thought that he spent that day celebrating the birthday of his future wife. However, in 2010, Prince William was nowhere to be seen again for Kate Middleton's special day.

Even before their wedding last 2011, William and Kate have been reported to have spent the day quietly. And when they became a royal couple that was the first time Kate finally celebrated her birthday the royal style.

And since Prince William and Kate Middleton will be focusing more on their royal duties than personal activities starting this year, people would rarely see the royal couple spending their special days.
