The Duke of Sussex celebrated his 40th birthday last Sunday, September 15, and received a series of congratulatory messages that surprised many.
One of the most outstanding gestures came from the British Royal Household, which shared an image of Prince Harry smiling on its social networks and dedicated a brief but significant “happy birthday” message to him.
This gesture was interpreted as a symbol of reconciliation and cordiality, especially considering the complex relationship between Prince Harry and his royal family.

In addition, Kensington Palace, which represents his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton, also joined the celebrations with a message of good wishes for Harry.
This action provoked a variety of reactions both among royal supporters and on social media, where many interpreted the gesture as a positive step towards family unity.
Another message that caught attention was from Nacho Figueras, a renowned Argentine polo player and one of Prince Harry’s best friends.

Nacho Figueras did not miss the opportunity to celebrate the Duke of Sussex’s life on his Instagram account, where he has more than 600,000 followers.
He shared an image in which they both appear together, accompanied by a touching message that highlights the friendship that unites them.
“Happy 40th, brother. From the polo fields to all the moments in between, I’m grateful for the bond we share,” the professional polo player wrote below a photo of him and Harry standing and laughing together. “Here’s to many more laughs, memories, and good times ahead. Love you.”
The photograph shows Harry and Nacho wearing green Los Padres polo team jerseys with white jodhpurs.
The image is believed to have been captured after a match at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in May 2022.

Since Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from their royal roles in the UK in 2020 and settled in California, the prince has been actively involved in polo, joining the Los Padres team.
The friendship between Nacho Figueras and Prince Harry dates back to 2007, when they met during a charity match for Sentebale, the non-profit organization that Harry co-founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho.
This foundation is dedicated to helping young people affected by poverty, inequality, and HIV/AIDS in southern Africa.

Since then, the two have shared countless meaningful moments and have supported each other on several occasions.
In fact, Figueras was one of the first to receive Meghan Markle’s famous branded product, the strawberry jam created under the American Riviera Orchard brand.
