The Royal Family has wished the Duke of Sussex a happy 40th birthday, breaking two years of public silence.
A post shared on X and Instagram said simply: “Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!”.
The message was also complete with a picture of a smiling Harry and an emoji of a birthday cake.
It is the first time the Royal Family has shared a public message for Harry since wishing him a happy birthday in 2021.
It is also the first X (Twitter) post to mention him since 2022 (pictured below), when he was among the young royals who took part in a walkabout in Windsor following Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
The message was later shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales who added their own birthday message.
The duke, who lives in California after he stepped down from the working monarchy, has a strained relationship with his father and is currently estranged from his brother, the Prince of Wales.
