The Princess of Wales was spotted at a private lunch with her sister, Pippa Middleton, and mom, Carole Middleton, opting for a small family celebration instead of a big splashy palace party.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;She was completely at ease \u2014 warm, charming, and radiant,&#8221; a source tells Rob Shuter&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/robshuter.substack.com\/p\/exclusive-kate-middleton-skips-royals\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/robshuter.substack.com\/p\/exclusive-kate-middleton-skips-royals\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"ShuterScoop\" data-node-id=\"3.1\" class=\"body-link css-103hk4r emevuu60\"><em data-node-id=\"3.1.0\">ShuterScoop<\/em><\/a>. &#8220;With her family, she can laugh, relax, and just be herself.
