Prince Edward is one of the more low-key members of the royal family despite being of the Queen's four children. He married Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999 and together the couple has two children, reports Town and Country Magazine.

He used to be the 3rd in line for the throne but with the birth of his siblings' children and grandchildren he's relegated to 11th.

Despite being further from reigning due to the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie, Prince Edward and the happy couple seemed to have been enjoying themselves at the Commonwealth Day appearance on March 9th. This engagement is due to be the senior royals' last appearance before stepping back from their roles, reports The Mirror.

Happy birthday to Prince Edward, who continues to work tirelessly for the royal family. Spread the news about his birthday and the adorable vintage photo posted on Instagram.
