The British royal family has wished Prince Harry a happy 40th birthday.
A message shared on X, formerly Twitter, said simply: “Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!” The post was complete with a picture of a smiling Harry and an emoji of a birthday cake.
Harry is spending his milestone birthday on Sunday with his wife Meghan and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. He is then said to be heading away for a gathering with close friends. Harry enters his fifth decade in what has been a rollercoaster year for the royal family, with both King Charles III and Kate, the Princess of Wales, diagnosed with cancer.
But the duke, who lives in California after stepping down from the working monarchy, remains estranged from his brother the Prince of Wales and faces a strained relationship with King Charles.
