The royal family extended a rare gesture of goodwill to Prince Harry by publicly wishing him a happy 40th birthday for the first time in three years. In a post on X, they shared a photo of Harry smiling, along with a cake emoji, stating: “Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!”
This marks the first public birthday message since 2021, following Harry and Meghan’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they made allegations of hostility and racism within the royal family.
Prince Harry is celebrating his milestone birthday at his home in Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. After a family celebration, reports suggest Harry plans to take a short trip with close friends.
Reflecting on his 40th birthday, Harry expressed excitement for the future, reiterating his dedication to positive global efforts. He also shared how fatherhood has brought immense joy and purpose to his life.
Despite the warm birthday greeting, tensions within the royal family persist. Harry’s relationship with his brother, Prince William, remains distant, and there are no signs of reconciliation.
Additionally, Harry continues to face legal battles, including ongoing disputes over his security arrangements in the UK, which have reportedly caused frustration for King Charles.
