For the first time in 3 years: King Charles III officially congratulated Prince Harry on his birthday. Photo

The ice has broken in the relationship between the royal family and exiled Prince Harry. For the first time in 3 years, King Charles III officially congratulated his son on his birthday on the royal family's social media. And although the message was laconic, it can already mean a lot about Prince Harry's relationship with his father.

King Charles III attached a happy photo of his son to the greeting. It is not known whether the relationship between the monarch and the prince has really improved or whether the festive message was published only because Harry is celebrating his 40th birthday.

"Congratulations to the Duke of Sussex on his 40th birthday!" the royal family wrote briefly and added a candlelit cake emoji to the message.

It is worth noting that this style of greeting is common for the British royal family and is not considered to be uncomplicated. Identical holiday signatures are also on the page of Prince and Princess William and Kate of Wales.

According to the Daily Express, citing its own sources, Charles III also intends to personally contact Prince Harry and congratulate him on his anniversary. Such a gesture may indicate that the relationship between the king and his youngest son is no longer as tense as it was after the duke disowned the royal family, moved to the United States, and revealed the secrets of Buckingham Palace in his memoir, The Spare.

The last time the royal family greeted the Duke of Sussex was back when Queen Elizabeth II was alive. Her last message to her grandson was published on Prince Harry's 37th birthday, in 2021.

By the way, the official page of Prince Harry's brother, Prince William, still does not have a congratulatory message and may not appear. The Prince of Wales has been holding a grudge against his younger brother for several years and often refused to meet with him even during the Duke of Sussex's rare trips to the UK.

Update. The Prince and Princess of Wales reposted Charles III's post on their InstaStories and wrote congratulations on their own: "Happy 40th birthday to the Duke of Sussex."

Prince Harry plans to celebrate his birthday with his family at home in Montecito, California, USA. Later, he is to meet with close friends from around the world, People writes.
