Prince William's 38th Birthday


Happy 38th Birthday to Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales, Duke of Cambridge.

The Duke and Duchess have released two new photos for William's birthday and Father's Day which fall on the same day this year. They were taken at Anmer Hall earlier in the month by the Duchess. 

I remember very well when it was announced by Buckingham Palace that William was born and news footage of him being carried in his mother's arms from the Lindo Wing. Sad Diana cannot be here to see her eldest son and his family. 

Enjoy the pics!!
