Us on June 28 from William’s celebration earlier that month. “William was skeptical at first, but then decided to step out of his comfort zone and do something he hadn’t done in years. He ended up having a great time!”

William “loosened up and cut a rug with his male friends,” who want to make the nightclub outing “a new tradition,” the source revealed, adding that the royal family also had a “special dinner with the kids” on his actual birthday.
