There’s no birthday celebration more royal than having your face imprinted on a coin

And Prince William’s upcoming 40th birthday will be celebrated just like that.

The soon-to-be 40 year old is being commemorated with a special 5 pound coin in the UK.

The design was shared on social media and features a three-quarter profile of the Duke of Cambridge looking towards the top right of the coin with the number 40 on one side and letter ‘W’ to the other.

This comes just under a month before William’s birthday on June 21 and marks the first coin the royal has appeared in on his own.

In a previous coin he appeared alongside his wife Kate Middleton commemorating their royal wedding.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
