Prince Harry is approaching a new stage in his life: on September 15 he will turn 40, a date that some have labeled as the prelude to a “midlife crisis.”
So suggests the publication Page Six, which anticipates a star-studded celebration hosted by Meghan Markle, but notably away from the British royal family.
Prince Harry’s birthday party
Although no specific details about the big bash have yet been revealed, it seems clear that it will take place in California, more than 8,000 kilometers away from King Charles and his brother, Prince William.
According to the same media, it is possible that William may not even send him birthday greetings, reflecting the tension that has marked the relationship between the two brothers in recent years.
The emotional distance between Harry and William is no secret. Recently, they both attended the funeral of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, at St. Mary’s Church in Snettisham, Norfolk.
Despite sharing the same space, the brothers avoided any eye or verbal contact. The British press witnessed this frostiness, with inside sources noting that the brothers are not speaking to each other and that it is currently unknown how they might repair their relationship.
The situation with King Charles also seems complicated. According to People magazine, Harry has attempted to contact his father on several occasions, but has received no response.
While the true nature of this relationship remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the Duke of Sussex will celebrate this special birthday in his adopted home, the United States.
A close friend of Harry’s told the Sunday Times that the Duke of Sussex feels at home there and enjoys an enviable lifestyle with his wife.
Although the same source assures that Harry himself would never have imagined ending his life in a golden exile in America.
The expectation of how this significant date will unfold remains a mystery, but it seems Harry is ready to celebrate surrounded by friends, away from the family drama that has marked his life in recent years.
