It's the big 4-0 next year, Wills!

Prince William celebrates his birthday today (June 21), reaching the ripe old age of 39.

Just a year before the big 4-0, the Duke of Cambridge will doubtless be surrounded by love and well wishes today.

And the very first of those came from his loving grandmother, Her Majesty the Queen.
