It's an extra special birthday for Prince William this year!
Today is very special for Prince William -- in more ways than one!
Not only does the Duke of Cambridge get to celebrate Father's Day as a new dad of two, he also gets to have his cake (and ice cream, too!) in honor of his 33rd birthday. And that's not all -- to add to the festivities, today marks the 35th wedding anniversary of the Duke's in-laws, Michael and Carole Middleton.

No word on how the royal family plans to celebrate their special day, beyond that it will be spent "privately." And perhaps with a few homemade cards courtesy of little Prince George? After all, while contributing to a Portsmouth mural, Princess Kate Middleton recently revealed that she'd been practicing fine arts (namely painting) with the royal toddler, who is just shy of his second birthday.
In honor of William's very special day, let us take a look back at the Duke's sweetest moments as a proud father to Prince George and Princess Charlotte:
