Diplomatic Security Service
Princess Catherine’s birthday celebrations took an unexpected turn as the U.S.
Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) stepped into the limelight not for security measures, but to convey a heartfelt birthday greeting.
Known as the formidable security arm of the State Department, the DSS surprised social media users by extending warm wishes to the Princess of Wales on her 42nd birthday, celebrated on January 9.
In a gesture of camaraderie and admiration, the DSS social media team expressed their unwavering commitment to ensuring Princess Catherine’s safety during her visits to the United States.
Their message exuded pride as they declared their duty to protect her behind the scenes whenever she graces American soil.
The tribute was coupled with a striking photograph of the Princess elegantly dressed in a houndstooth ensemble designed by Amelia Wickstead, captured during her December 2022 trip to Boston for Prince William‘s Earthshot Prize Awards.
Fans were quick to show their gratitude, acknowledging the DSS’s dedication to safeguarding not only the Princess but also the royal couple during their American endeavors.
One supporter expressed heartfelt appreciation, thanking the security service for keeping the beloved Princess of Wales safe.
Another individual commended their service during the Boston visit, sending warm birthday wishes to Princess Catherine.
A social media user even marveled at what they dubbed the “Catherine effect,” highlighting the significance of the State Department’s involvement in the birthday celebration.
