Just-married British Prince William, a helicopter search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force, turned 29 years old on June 22, 2011 and celebrated his birthday at work because he was on duty at a base off the coast of Wales.
Next month, the handsome prince will travel to Canada and the United States on his first official overseas trip as a married man. During this journey, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very busy with charity events, speeches plus the laying of wreaths and military displays. However, they also experience “second romantic honeymoon” with campfires and a canoe trip in the wilderness.
Now, let's take a look at Prince William’s 29-year life in pictures.
