Prince William and King Charles wish Prince Harry a happy 40th birthday on social media amid rift

Prince Harry is getting birthday love from across the pond.

Prince William and King Charles III wished the Duke of Sussex a happy 40th birthday on social media Sunday amid his rift from the royal family.

“🎂 Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!” tweeted the official X account of the royal family, which Charles’ office at Buckingham Palace runs, alongside a 2018 photo of Harry smiling while visiting Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, Ireland.

The official X account for the Prince of Wales and his wife, Kate Middleton, reposted the message from the royal family and added: “Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!”

The last time the royal family acknowledged Harry’s birthday publicly was in September 2021.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, Charles, 75, implemented a new protocol that limited social media posts to just highlighting working members of the royal family. Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, quit their royal duties in 2020.

The Post exclusively reported that the Invictus Games founder will also receive a phone call from some of his estranged relatives for his special day.

“Harry will hear from his family,” a palace source told the outlet. 

“It’s very likely that Charles and Kate will likely phone Harry to wish him well on his birthday.”

Although Harry won’t be spending his birthday with his dad or brother, he will be surrounded by love with his immediate family and close friends.

Page Six previously reported that the dad of two is planning to celebrate his big day with a party organized by the Duchess of Sussex, 43, in Montecito, Calif., where they reside.

Harry will then enjoy a weekend getaway with his close friends in the mountains, according to multiple outlets.

Harry has had a strained relationship with Charles and William, 42, since he quit the royal family in 2020 and moved to North America.

The following year, Harry and the “Suits” alum sat down for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which Markle, who is biracial, claimed members of the royal family had questioned how dark her son Archie’s skin would be when he was born.

Harry then released his bombshell memoir, “Spare,” in January 2023, in which he got candid about several of his issues with his dad and William.

Last month, the Netflix star and his older brother were in the same room together while attending their uncle Lord Robert Fellowes’ funeral in Snettisham, Norfolk, but did not interact.

Harry has not made amends with Charles because the monarch has not reinstated security detail for him and his family when they travel to the UK.
