Practice your bows and curtsies, people, because today Prince William turns 34.

And though he's usually always working in some capacity, it sounds as though Kate Middleton's husband will get to enjoy a whole two days of leisure this week! After catching the Euro 2016 match between England and Slovakia in Saint Etienne, France, on Monday night, he was due to fly home this morning for a private birthday celebration with his family.

Surrounded by everything he loves: his wife, his children and team England. We couldn't imagine a better birthday if we tried. 

Over the past few years, William has proven himself as a diplomat, well-spoken national figure and super-dad. From meetings to international tours to special engagements, being royal is a full-time job, and there is no one better suited to the role than the Duke of Cambridge, heir to the throne. 

But despite all of the other points on his CV, he's never been exactly known for his style, unlike his already iconic wife. But William has grown increasingly smart and sophisticated in recent years, and fatherhood is looking to be his most stylish era yet.

In honor of William's 34th birthday, let's take a look at his best style moments from his days as a royal toddler up till now.

Happy birthday, HRH!
