Prince Harry, who will soon celebrate his 40th birthday on September 15, is in the public eye as details emerge about the lavish celebration his wife, Meghan Markle, is meticulously organizing.
The Duke of Sussex, currently in the eye of the storm over rumors of a possible interest in rejoining the monarchy, seems determined to mark his life in America with a big celebration.
Prince Harry’s birthday details
According to reports in the Express newspaper, Meghan is planning a spectacular celebration, marking a departure from the more reserved birthdays of previous years.
Meghan Markle’s preparations include inviting a number of well-known friends. With an extensive network of Hollywood friends, Meghan and Harry are destined to have a memorable celebration, whatever they decide to do.
Lydia Alty, an expert on the British royals, quoted by the Express, speculates that they may even sell exclusive photographs of the event to the press.
Harry’s family members are not expected to be present at the celebration, given the current strain on their family relations.
However, it has been hinted that the Duke of Sussex has strengthened ties with his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie since their move to the United States in 2020.
As for whether Prince William will publicly congratulate Harry on his birthday, Alty comments that it is a mystery, expressing doubt as to whether William’s social media team will issue a congratulatory message as in previous years.
The fracture in the relationship between the siblings is palpable. Recently, there was an unexpected encounter between Prince Harry and Prince William during the funeral service of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes.
The Duke of Sussex attended the funeral at St Mary’s Church in Norfolk, paying tribute to his uncle who died on July 29 at the age of 82.
According to press reports, William and Harry arrived independently, taking distant seats during the ceremony and exchanging no communication.
