The special card sent from Kensington Palace included an adorable photo of the Prince and Princess of Wales' youngest son, but the recipient was left baffled when the card arrived blank, and they revealed all online.

Two other fans agreed they had a similar issue, receiving a blank card by mistake. "Yes, same here...no text!" wrote one, and: "Same, but I don’t mind," penned another.

However, a third revealed that theirs did in fact come with a message: "Odd. Mine had text," they commented.

Princess Kate recently made a confession about her youngest son Louis during a visit to the Royal Surrey County Hospital's maternity ward.

Meeting newborns made the royal reminisce about her own three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. She joked: "I keep thinking Louis is a baby but he's a big boy now. It just feels like yesterday."

She also compared the newborn's pose to her eldest son. "George was so huddled up too, he spent quite a few days like that," she shared.

Kate's love of children is well-known, and she has recently been very open about her broodiness and she works with an array of charities that support her early years passion.
