The Royal Family has finally broken their two-year public silence to wish Prince Harry a happy 40th birthday. Following a two-year public silence on the celebratory occasion, the royal family has seemingly buried the hatchet—presumably temporarily—to send heartfelt wishes to the Duke of Sussex on September 15.

To celebrate the milestone, the royal family shared a heartwarming post on its social media accounts featuring a beaming photo of the Duke of Sussex, accompanied by a cake emoji.
Notably, this year’s birthday acknowledgement marks a departure from last year’s silence, when no mention was made of Prince Harry’s special day. Previously, the royal family had consistently recognised his birthday every year.
Wishing from the official Royal family Instagram account, the post read,”Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today”.

In a goodwill gesture, Prince William and Kate Middleton also wished Prince Harry a happy 40th birthday through their joint X account. The message read, ”Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!”

This particular birthday marks a special milestone for Harry as he’s expected to receive a grand royal present thanks to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, who reserved a whopping $8.5 million inheritance in a $90 million trust fund arranged for the royal family.
