Why a "Quiet Acknowledgment" Is All Prince William Can Expect on His Birthday From Dad King Charles

Prince William and King Charles look serious while wearing ceremonial robes.

Prince William turned 43 on June 21, but don't expect the royal to make a big fuss about the occasion. According to The King's former gardener, the Prince of Wales is most likely to spend the day at home with his wife, Kate Middleton, and their three kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. And when it comes to his dad, King Charles, Prince William might not be expecting anything at all, according to one former royal employee.

Speaking on behalf of Genting Casino, King Charles's former royal gardener, Jack Stooks, revealed that The King is unlikely to made a huge deal out of Prince William's 43rd birthday. "Maybe a phone call or a small gift," Stooks shared. "They're not really into big birthday lunches or public displays unless it's a milestone one."
