Prince William turns 38 years old today. The British Royal, who is second in line to the throne, grew up in the spotlight and became beloved by many from all across the world. 

To celebrate the Duke of Cambridge on his special day, we’re taking a look at some of his biggest moments through photos. 

Prince William was born on June 21, 1982, to the Prince of Wales and his then-wife, Diana, Princess of Wales at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, London. The following morning, his parents debuted the newborn Prince to the world on the steps of the hospital for his very first Photo op.

At just nine months old, Prince William joined his parents on his very first Royal Tour in a 6-week-long visit in Australia and New Zealand. According to Hello Magazine, the prince took part in the tour at the request of Princess Diana. The decision was controversial at the time, as the first and second in line to the throne were to travel together. 

He was humorously nicknamed ‘wombat’ during the tour by excited Royal fans from down under.

In January 1987, Prince William kickstarted his education at the Wetherby School in West London. Pictured above, the young Prince was accompanied by his mother as he was welcomed by the then-headmistress of the institution, Frederika Blair Turner. His younger brother, Prince Harry, would later also join the school in 1989. 

On September 6, 1997, Prince William attended the funeral for his mother, Princess Diana, just 6 days following her tragic death in a fatal car crash. 

He is pictured alongside Prince Philip, Earl Spencer, Prince Harry, and Prince Charles, as they all walk behind Diana’s coffin at Westminster abbey.

In 2005, Prince William graduated from St. Andrews with a Scottish Master of Arts degree, majoring in Geography. In the photo above, he is pictured with his then-girlfriend, Kate Middleton. The photo was not shared with the public until 8 years later by the Middleton family.

On April 29, 2011, Prince William married his long-time girlfriend, Catherine Middleton in Westminster Abbey. The event was watched by millions from across the globe. According to Metro, their wedding was live-streamed on Youtube and reached 101 million views.

On June 22, 2013, Prince William’s first son was born. The same day, mom Kate was joined by the doting father on the steps outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital as they debuted their firstborn to the public. Prince George was at the time of his birth and remains third in line to the British throne.

May 2, 2015, marks the birthday of Prince William and Kate Middleton's first daughter, Princess Charlotte, and about three years later, the couple's youngest son, Prince Louis, was born on April 23, 2018, making the family complete. 

In honor of Prince William's 38th birthday — which is also Father's Day — his beloved wife Kate has shot some adorable new pictures of the Duke and their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. 

We're so happy to see the Prince so happy on his birthday as he is celebrating with his family!
