According to Nine, the touching snap was originally taken last year, 2021, while the royal family were holidaying in Jordan.

Prince William is set to celebrate his 40th birthday tomorrow, June 21. In a special tribute to the Prince for his upcoming milestone 40th birthday, plans for the Prince’s very first solo commemorative coin were released by The Royal Mint on Monday, May 23.

The prestigious £5 will feature a very regal looking Prince William centered in the middle of the coin as he stares off into the distance, or as People describe it, “a three-quarter profile gaze”. The Prince appears to wear a polished collared suit and tie, with his hair brushed back in handsome, professional style.

The engraver of the soon-to-be-released iconic coin, Thomas T. Doherty,  described the design as representing a nice “balance” between William’s life as a father and his royal title and responsibility.
