For his birthday, William shows himself to be a go-getter and not afraid of contact. In the future he wants to increasingly address the issue of homelessness.
No big party, no chic portrait of the future king: On his 40th birthday, the British Prince William is deliberately modest and presents himself to the public as a go-getter without fear of contact.
Kensington Palace released three photos on Tuesday of the Duke of Cambridge, as William’s official name is, in a red vest and cap selling the homeless newspaper Big Issue on the streets of London.
The king-to-be has announced that he wants to pay more attention to the fight against homelessness. His birthday is “a good opportunity”. The topic was also important to his mother Princess Diana, who died in 1997.
The photos, in which William shows himself in an unusual work uniform instead of in a suit, stand in clear contrast to photos that other royals have already published for their milestone birthdays. Even William’s wife, Duchess Kate, who turned 40 last year, had a series of portraits made in various evening dresses for the occasion.
William also refrains from big celebrations. According to the Telegraph, he wanted to spend the day at home in Kensington Palace with his family. William’s father, Prince Charles, published some photos, some of which are decades old, on his Twitter channel, along with congratulations, showing the father and son together skiing and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. The royal family also shared several photos on social media depicting important milestones in William’s life, including his graduation from university, his time in the military and his wedding in 2011.
