In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry has dashed any hopes of a royal family reunion by announcing that he won’t be celebrating his 40th birthday with King Charles.
Instead, the Duke of Sussex plans to mark this milestone in the comfort of his home in the United States, alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
In an exclusive interview with People magazine, Harry made it clear that he has no intention of stepping back into royal duties, even temporarily, to support his father, who is currently battling cancer.
He emphasized his desire for a low-key celebration, focusing on family time followed by a gathering with close friends.
This statement indicates a continued commitment to his life in California, where he seems to be firmly rooted.
Royal correspondent Cameron Walker noted that Harry’s priorities remain centered around his projects in the U.S., suggesting that a return to the United Kingdom is not on his agenda anytime soon.
As Harry approaches his birthday this Sunday, the plans are set for a significant celebration organized by Meghan at their California residence, showcasing their intent to create cherished family memories.
After the intimate family gathering, Harry is reportedly planning a getaway with close friends, reminiscent of his infamous Las Vegas trip from a decade ago.
This hints at a desire for freedom and fun, away from the pressures of royal life.
The news comes in the wake of reports that King Charles has been missing Harry and hopes for a reconciliation.
A royal insider revealed that the King holds a deep affection for his son and remains optimistic about a future return to the family fold.
However, Harry’s latest comments have seemingly disappointed those expectations, as he reiterated that he has no immediate plans to visit the U.K.
In another part of his interview with journalist Tom Bradby, Harry reflected on the dramatic shift in family dynamics that occurred after he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties.
He reminisced about the early days when they formed a united front with William and Kate, known as the Fab Four.
Unfortunately, what began as a promising alliance quickly devolved into rivalry, particularly between Meghan and Kate.
