Why Prince Harry ‘called off’ birthday party at the last minute because of Kate Middleton
September 15, 2024, marked Prince Harry’s 40th birthday.
His family, including his father and his brother, congratulated him on the joyous occasion with posts on the social media, which marked the first public message for Harry by the British royals since 2021.
“Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!” the post by The Royal Family’s X account read. Along with the message, they included a photo of the Prince smiling and added a cake emoji.
The Prince and Princess of Wales re-posted the message writing: “Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!”
Many saw this as a positive sign towards improving the relationship between Harry and his family, especially his brother William.
Sadly, the strong bond the two brothers once shared has now been strained.
Ever since Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and spoke about the royals and the things that took place behind closed doors in the infamous Oprah interview, in which they accused a senior royal of questioning the skin of then unborn Archie, the relationship between them and the rest of the members of the Firm sort of shattered.
After everything that has taken place during the four years since Harry and Meghan settled in The States, including the publishing of Harry’s all-tell memoir Spare and the Netflix documentary that revealed details about the royals and in which no one was “spared,” Harry reached out to his father following the revelation of his cancer diagnosis.
It was reported that it was King Charles himself who disclosed his condition with his younger son who then traveled to Britain to visit his father but was only given around 30 minutes to spend with him.
When Kate’s cancer diagnosis was made public, Harry and Meghan reached out to her and showed their support.
In fact, Harry and Kate have always been very close. From the moment they first met, they got along, and William was very happy that his girlfriend and his brother expressed mutual fondness for one another.
Just how close the two were speaks the fact that he had a special nickname for her.
