"The Duke, who has been staying with his father at Highgrove this week while he took part in a Search and Rescue course in Gloucestershire, is planning a quiet, low-key birthday celebration with his wife and a few friends before returning to his base at RAF Valley on Anglesey next week. Asked how he would be celebrating his 30th birthday, a spokesman for the Duke said: “He will spend some of his birthday at Highgrove, where he has been based this week, then whatever he does at the weekend will be low-key and private."
