The period leading up to William’s birthday has been a busy one filled with various royal duties that saw the Prince take centre stage at several major events.
He participated in last weekend's Trooping the Colour ceremony as well as attended the Order of the Garter ceremony and Royal Ascot earlier this week.
During Trooping the Colour, William took a prominent position alongside Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh, all three riding on horseback for the monarch's official birthday parade.
The Prince of Wales was resplendent in his Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards and traditional bearskin hat.

His elaborate uniform featured the Most Noble Order of the Garter Sash with the Lesser George and a Welsh Guards Sword.
Four full-size medals adorned his chest - the Gold, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals alongside the Coronation Medal.
While William rode in the procession, Princess Kate and their children travelled by carriage through the ceremony.
At Royal Ascot on Wednesday, the Prince of Wales attended without Kate, who withdrew from the event at the last minute.

The Princess was reportedly "disappointed" at missing the renowned social and sporting event where her husband was scheduled to present race prizes on the second day of the meet.
Her seemingly last-minute absence was soon revealed to have resulted from an admin error.
A source told the Mail: "Unfortunately, an inaccurate version of the carriage list was issued in error after that notification. The correct list was then circulated."
The administrative mix-up unfolded when Ascot executives released the day's procession list at midday, listing both the Prince and Princess of Wales in the second carriage behind the King and Queen.
