Prince William turns 42 years old today and the birthday tributes have been pouring in for the future king.
Leading the tributes was the Princess of Wales who shared a rare family photo to mark her husband's big day.
Kate posted a photo of Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis on socials to pay tribute on his birthday.
In the snap, the dad and his three children are jumping on a beach in Norfolk.

The sweet photo, taken by avid photographer Middleton, sees the family in a more relaxed setting than the public is used to seeing.
Alongside the photo, the princess wrote: "Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx"
Royal fans couldn't help but rave about the personal photo Catherine chose to share for William's birthday.
One wrote, "Possibly the best picture I’ve seen of the family."
"Possibly the best pic they have ever shared- so relaxed, normal, full of joy," another added.
One said, "Happy birthday Prince William! It’s been a rough year for all of you but I’m sure the love of your family will always help you! Wishing you all the best!"
The birthday tribute comes after Kate Middleton made her first public appearance after being diagnosed with cancer in January.
She attended Trooping the Colour with Prince William and their three children on June 14th.
The mum-of-three told her supporters that she has both good and bad days amid her cancer treatment.
She confirmed that her treatment would continue for another few months but stressed that she was doing well.
