The "intimate" party for close friends and family will include themed dancing, cocktails and karaoke, to mark the decade Kate was born inu00a0-- and will be a chance for the royal newlywed to really let her hair down.
"In many ways, this is going to be Kate's last chance to let go like she did back in the old days when she and William first met," a 'royal source' was quoted telling Grazia magazine.
Kate is said to have asked guests to simply donate to charity rather than buy her expensive gifts but apparently husband Prince William is planning to commission a rather special oil portrait of Kate, to mark her first year as a member of the Royal Family.
The Queen is also reportedly planning to give Kate a tiara from her collection as a gift to mark the special birthday.
