Prince William turns 43 this weekend (21 June), sparking memories of a playful balcony moment involving Kate Middleton last year. During the 2024 Remembrance Sunday ceremony, Kate and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, were seen giggling about William’s beard. According to a body language expert, Sophie asked Kate if she liked the facial hair, to which Kate reportedly replied, “I find it quite rousing.” The lighthearted exchange delighted fans, with many praising William’s rugged look, which he has maintained into 2025.
While William’s birthday won’t include a traditional balcony appearance, last weekend’s Trooping the Colour marked a rare royal gathering. Recently, he attended Royal Ascot without Kate, who is balancing her return to public duties. However, nothing will top last year’s celebration, when William danced with Prince George and Princess Charlotte at Taylor Swift’s London concert. The family even met Swift and Travis Kelce backstage, making it an unforgettable night.
