Did King Charles And Prince William Wish Prince Harry On His 40th Birthday Amid Ongoing Rift? Find Out Here

As a lifestyle expert who has spent years observing and analyzing the intricacies of royal families, I must say that the recent birthday wishes extended by King Charles III and Prince William to Prince Harry are a small yet significant step towards healing the rift within the royal family.


On Sunday, Prince Harry celebrated his 40th birthday, and both King Charles and Prince William, along with their well-wishers, extended warm greetings to the former royal family member. In commemoration of this special day, Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace each posted a heartfelt message on their respective Instagram accounts, sharing a photo of Harry and accompanying it with a thoughtful caption.

For the very first time since his departure from the royal family, the royals have recognized Prince Harry (Duke of Sussex) in a birthday wish posted on their social media platforms.

On their Instagram, the royal family posted a joyful snapshot of the Duke during a public appearance, accompanied by the message: “Sending our warmest wishes to the Duke of Sussex on his 40th birthday today!

Originally posted by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the image was reshared along with the heartfelt greeting, “Happy 40th Birthday to the Earl of Sussex!” Similarly, joyous birthday wishes were extended from the family through their X account.

Based on People Magazine’s reports, Prince Harry is planning a personal gathering in Montecito, which he will attend with his spouse and kids. It’s possible that some friends from overseas might be part of the festivities too.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t common for the Duke to receive birthday greetings from his father or brother because of the tense relationship between them, which reportedly stemmed from Prince Harry’s choice to relinquish his royal duties and reside in the U.S. with Meghan Markle. Furthermore, a source close to Prince Harry revealed that Charles has not reached out by phone call, nor has he responded if Harry attempted to initiate conversation since then.

During his latest trip to the U.K., where he attended his uncle Robert Fellowes’ funeral, Prince Harry had a fleeting meeting with his brother who was also in attendance. Yet, the air between them seemed thick with tension as they stood mere feet apart, without exchanging a word or even a simple gesture of recognition.

After his contentious departure from the royal family, Prince Harry has had very few encounters with his brother. Their sole encounter was at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, and even during King Charles’ coronation, the Duke was noticeably seated separate from Prince William and his relatives, further emphasizing the physical gap that now lies between them.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’ve chosen to prioritize my family’s wellbeing over professional obligations, just like the Duke and I did in 2020 when we left our royal duties behind and relocated our brood to sunny California.
