All The Royal Events In 2024 You Don’t Want To Miss

Prince Edward isn’t the only British royal celebrating a milestone birthday in 2024. His nephew, Prince Harry, turns 40 in September. However, unlike Prince Edward, the younger prince will likely spend his birthday away from extended family, as has been the case in the years since he and wife, Meghan Markle, stepped away from their royal roles. In fact, Prince Harry’s immediate family did not post messages for his 39^th birthday as they had done in previous years. Instead of spending time with the royals on Harry’s birthday, Harry and Meghan attended the Invictus Games in Germany, according to People.

Notably, Prince Harry’s older brother, Prince William, turned 40 in 2022, but the two were not speaking at that time either. Ahead of her husband’s birthday, Princess Catherine reportedly attempted to get the two brothers to reconcile, royal expert Neil Sean revealed (via Express). However, this did not happen, and the rift only seems to have widened.

With all this in mind, it seems likely that Prince Harry will celebrate his birthday with his wife and not with his extended family. Just how he will celebrate his milestone birthday, however, remains to be seen.
