Prince William turns 29: A celebration of his birthday via photos

Prince William celebrates his 29th birthday today. And while he’s only spent about three decades on the planet, he’s lived a pretty full life.

In honor of this occasion — because, you know, Prince William has not stood at the center of any significant occasions at all this year — it seemed appropriate to celebrate William via a series of pictures.

So Prince William, this is your life. Or at least your life based on a handful of photos that I pulled from the Post archives.

Prince William in December of 1982, at roughly six months old, enjoying some play time with his mom and dad:
