Prince William turns 42! Inside his 'cruel wake-up call' as King Charles makes 'surprising move'


EXCLUSIVE: Prince William has had a 'difficult wake-up call' over recent months, leaving him plenty to reflect upon as he turns 42, royal expert Jennie Bond tells OK!

The future King's special day falls on 21 June and this year he has a "great deal to reflect on", claims royal expert Jennie Bond. "In the past few months he has had to be the rock that has steadied his wife through her illness and treatment, the dad who comforts and protects his children, and the son who has dutifully stood in for his father as the King faces his own health problems," the former BBC Royal correspondent exclusively told OK!. She explained: "The picture of William and his three children, arms interlinked, staring at the sea in their happy place….Norfolk…is a poignant reminder of how they have faced such a difficult time together: a tight family unit."
