Some members of the British Royal Family greeted the Duke of Sussex on his 40th birthday
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, celebrated his 40th birthday on September 15, an event that did not go unnoticed despite his distance from the British Royal Family. Since his move to California with Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, the royal's relationship with some members of the royal family has been complicated, highlighting the tensions with his older brother, Prince William, and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
To the surprise of many, the first to congratulate the Duke of Sussex were King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Through the official account of the Royal Family, they sent a message accompanied by an image of Harry, wishing him a happy 40th birthday. The photograph showed the prince with a smile, dressed elegantly in a gray jacket and a white shirt.
The most eye-catching congratulations were from the Princes of Wales, William and Kate, who used their Instagram stories to share the official post and add a few words of their own: "We wish the Duke of Sussex a happy 40th birthday." This gesture was seen as a sign that, despite their differences, a family bond persists between them. Critical Voices reports.
Harry, for his part, celebrated the day privately at his residence in Montecito, California, surrounded by his closest family. According to British media, Meghan organized a simple but special celebration for her husband, making sure the day was memorable. Together with his children, Harry enjoyed a quiet day, away from the media attention of royalty.
Among those attending the celebration were some of Harry's closest friends, such as polo player Nacho Figueras and former military man JJ Chalmers. In recent years, Harry has forged ties with several public figures, including Oprah Winfrey and the Clooneys, who could also have been part of the celebrations.
Since leaving the Royal Family in 2020, Harry and Meghan have worked on reorganizing their lives and projects. Although they have faced challenges in some of their initiatives, the couple has begun to find stability in their new stage, focusing on their family and humanitarian causes. This 40th birthday marks a crucial moment for Harry, who continues to seek a balance between his personal life and his public commitments.
