No big party, no chic portrait of the future king: for his 40th birthday, British Prince William is deliberately modest. A video and a photo were published on the official Instagram profile showing the 40-year-old selling a homeless newspaper. A cause dear to William’s heart. His mother Lady Diana, who died in 1997, had already been involved in the fight against homelessness. In mid-June, Prince William mingled with passers-by in London and sold homeless newspapers in uniform.
The photos are in clear contrast to photos that other royals have already published for their birthdays. Even William’s wife, Duchess Kate, who turned 40 earlier this year, had a series of portraits made in different 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 several photos on his Instagram profile along with congratulations, showing father and son skiing together and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, among other things. 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.
