The Royal Family Reaches Out To Prince Harry On His 40th Birthday For First Time In Three Years

Prince Harry Birthday

For the first time in three years, the Royal family shared a post on social media, wishing Prince Harry a happy 40th birthday on September 15. Ever since the “estranged prince” stepped down from his royal duties, communication between the Royal Family and Prince Harry has been strained.

Despite the tension and rift between them, this year, Kate Middleton and Prince William put aside their differences to wish him a happy birthday. Apparently, Kate Middleton had a huge part to play in extending an olive branch towards Harry.

An insider revealed that Kate made sure Harry received a birthday phone call and a special gift, which is to fulfill her promise to restore peace between Harry and the royal family, particularly with Prince William. The source added that Kate made it clear to William that Harry’s birthday was a moment to prioritize love and family, set aside past rifts and not hold on to resentment.

It’s no surprise that Kate did this as Prince Harry and Kate used to be very close, and were almost inseparable. Harry affectionately called Kate “Cath” and regarded her as the sister he never had. They were frequently seen together at events sharing laughs and whispers.

Kate Middleton and Prince Harry are allegedly still in close contact

Prince Harry and Meghan became estranged when they decided to step down as senior royals in January 2020. Buckingham Palace later confirmed on February 19, 2021, that the couple would forfeit their royal patronages, confirming their departure from the royal family. Harry and his wife now live in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.  However, Harry also made claims against the royal family in his TV interview with Oprah and his controversial memoir, Spare, which created distance between Harry and William, also affecting Harry’s friendship with Kate.

Despite the rifts and William “shutting the door” against Harry returning to his royal duties, sources suggest Kate and Harry remain close. They allegedly make secret phone calls, with Harry giving emotional support to Kate during her cancer battle. “Everyone assumes Kate doesn’t like Harry, but they have a special bond that not many people really understand,” a royal source revealed. “She confided in him during dark moments, including her cancer battle.” With the recent development, there might still be hope for reconciliation for the Royal Family.
