The Queen has wished grandson Prince William a happy birthday and shared touching pictures of the royal and his wife.

The Duke of Cambridge turns 39 today, June 21, and is expected to celebrate at home with Kate Middleton and their kids.

William was also snapped during a royal visit to Edinburgh with Kate.

The images were posted on the Royal Family's Twitter page with the message: "Wishing The Duke of Cambridge a very Happy Birthday."

William will be celebrating the final birthday of his 30s after surprising runners at a race around the Sandringham Estate on Sunday, June 20.
