To commemorate Prince William's 25th birthday on Thursday June 21, HELLO! magazine takes a look at the life of the heir to the throne in a special collector's edition featuring 20 pages of intimate royal photos.
The bumper double issue marks the handsome royal's landmark birthday by taking readers inside his world, from his preparations to become king through the influential women in his life to his Canadian visits, his military career and sporting passions.
While Wills may not become king for several decades - his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, ascended to the throne when she was his age - Prince Charles' elder son has already demonstrated a sense of duty befitting a future monarch. "He has really matured in the last few years and has come to terms - however reluctantly - with the idea that he is the 'star of the show'," a royal source says. "As a result, he is starting to approach his duties with a grace and humour that is winning people over."
See the intimate photos and revealing report in Issue 42 of HELLO! magazine, on Canadian newsstands from Thursday, June 20.
