Isn’t it impossible not to smile at the photo Meghan shared? To celebrate Prince Harry’s 41st birthday, she unearthed a gem: a snapshot of him in 2015, just after leaving the Army.
In the photo, you can see a young Harry with more hair and a patch on his left shoulder that reads “Harry Wales.” The phrase accompanying the photograph was “Oh, hi, Birthday Boy,” which simply says it all.
The choice of the photo is not accidental. It shows us the military Harry, right after leaving the army, a role that defined a significant part of his life and with which he always felt comfortable.
It’s a nod to his past, to his 10-year career in the British army, which shaped his identity before his life took the turn we all know.
The gesture comes just as Harry returns to California after his brief and much-publicized trip to the United Kingdom, where he was able to reunite with his father 19 months after their meeting, when the king revealed he had cancer.
Charles and his son Harry had a 55-minute meeting where they shared tea.
Without a doubt, he wanted to celebrate Prince Harry’s birthday with a personal touch that fans adore.
