LONDON. A black and white photo that portrays him smiling, as a child in the arms of King Charles, his father. Thus the Royal House wanted to wish the Prince of Wales, William, who turns 42 today. The image, shared on the Royal Family’s ‘X’ account, was taken at Kensington Palace in London on February 1, 1983. It was accompanied by the message: “Happy Birthday to the Prince of Wales!”. The National Museum of the Royal Navy also shared a post congratulating Prince William on ‘X’, praising “his significant time with the Royal Navy as part of his military training, completing a two-month service in 2008”.

The congratulatory post also states that “the way he conducted his training was a testimony to his commitment to serving his country”. Since his last birthday, William has launched ‘Homewards’, a five-year commitment to eradicate homelessness in six locations across the UK. He is also involved in raising awareness of mental health and the Earthshot Prize, a £50 million environmental competition to find solutions to help the planet.
Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales was born at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, at 9.03pm on 21 June 1982. The eldest son of the then Prince and Princess of Wales. At just nine months old he accompanied his parents on a six-week official visit to Australia and New Zealand, a break with tradition that royal children were left at home in the care of governesses.
