WHAT is it about a May 2 birth date? The Princess of Cambridge shares her birthday with an impressive number of stars.

Born at 8.34am on May 2, the as-yet-unnamed Princess of Cambridge is a Taurus, a sign renowned (by people who put stock in these things) for its persistence and loyalty.

IT’S A GIRL! The Royal Family welcomes a new princess

The Princess is born into an interesting family, astrologically speaking. While her mother is firmly a Capricorn, both her father and brother were born on the cusp of star signs. (Prince William, born June 21, is a Gemini/Cancer cusp while Prince George, born on July 22, is a Cancer/Leo cusp.)

According to the website Compatible Astrology, Taurus scores either high or medium compatibility with Capricorn, Gemini, Cancer and Leo.

The young Princess shares her birthday with the following celebrities:

David Beckham — 40

Arguably the most famous footballer of them all, Beckham celebrated a milestone birthday this year, turning 40. The father of four celebrated the event by joining Instagram — quickly amassing and partying at a star-studded bash in Morocco.

Donatella Versace — 60

“There’s time to slow down, after you’re dead,” Versace once said, and the designer, who turned 60 on Saturday, has been largely true to her word. She emerged onto the world stage after the 1997 murder of her brother Gianni to take control of the label he established. Versace celebrated her 60th with the surprising news that she will front a campaign for a rival fashion house, Givenchy.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson — 43

Born in 1972, Dwayne Johnson made one of the most unlikely career transitions: from the wrestling ring to Hollywood blockbusters. He will next appear in the disaster flick San Andreas.

Lily Allen — 30

A longtime darling of the British press, Lily Allen shot to prominence in 2006 with her single Smile, which she backed up with a succession of hits including F*ck You and Not Fair.

Brian Lara — 46

Known as ‘The Prince’, West Indian cricketer Brian Lara rates as one of the all-time greats. The master batsman still holds the record for the all-time highest individual run tally in any single first-class cricket match (501 not out).

Christine Baranski — 63

Enduring appeal ... Christine Baranski’s latest TV role has been in The Good Wife.

Although Baranski has been well known to Broadway audiences throughout her career, she shot to fame and stole the show in the sitcom Cybill in the mid 1990s. Since then she has been a familiar presence for viewers — on the small screen in The Big Bang Theory and The Good Wife, and on film in Chicago, Mamma Mia among many other credits.
