A PASSIONATE environmentalist determined to make a difference. A devoted husband, a loving father. A pillar of support for his increasingly frail grandmother.
All this and more describe the man who will one day inherit the throne. And as he turns 40 on 21 June, Prince William is more in the spotlight than ever.
His father is already 73 and will never have anything like the long reign his mother is having. But William is in the prime of his life and the future of the monarchy rests firmly on his shoulders.
As the Duke of Cambridge celebrates his milestone birthday, royal author Robert Jobson has released a new book, William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch, which sheds new insight on the kind of man William is.
Yes, Jobson says, he will make a good king – but he’s also a complicated, sometimes difficult man.
PRINCE William is determined to rise to the challenge of serving Crown and country.
His public face is that of a loving husband and father to his beloved children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Calm and balanced in public, he’s an intensely private man who guards his personal life jealously.
He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to be just a figurehead or a regal voice in the dark demanding action and not following through. He wants to find real solutions to the problems facing us and the animals that share our planet.
Along with Kate, William has shown his humanity and compassion. His tireless campaigns supporting mental health charities have made great strides in trying to end the stigma surrounding mental illness and depression.
