About this person

Born 21 June 1982 during his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's reign, William Arthur Philip Louis was educated at Eton College before reading geography at the University of St Andrews, where he met Catherine Middleton. After Sandhurst and a stint with the Blues and Royals, he graduated from RAF College Cranwell in 2008 and flew search and rescue missions, later working as a full-time air ambulance pilot from July 2015 to 2017. He married in April 2011, becoming Duke of Cambridge, and now has three children: George, Charlotte, and Louis. His royal work runs through dozens of patronages - Centrepoint, The Passage, Tusk Trust, air ambulance charities - and in 2020 he launched the Earthshot Prize to fund environmental innovation. When his father became king on 8 September 2022, he inherited the Duchy of Cornwall and was named Prince of Wales the next day.
