The past few months have been all about Queen Elizabeth, but another royal has something to celebrate this week – Prince William turns 30 on June 21.
The Duke of Cambridge is reportedly planning a low-key celebration, with wife Catherine, brother Prince Harry and a few close friends in attendance.
To celebrate William’s big day, we have put together a collection of pictures documenting his journey from chubby-cheeked royal baby to fully-fledged future king.
