Prince William Turns 40: A Heartwarming Tribute from the Royal Family

The tweet, accompanied by a picture of the Duke of Cambridge smiling widely during an engagement, reads, “Happy birthday to the Duke of Cambridge.”

The first tweet in the thread emphasizes William’s prominence within the royal family, stating, “As the second in line to the throne turns 40, learn more about his Royal Highness.”
