King Charles III is reportedly looking forward to a virtual family gathering to celebrate Prince Harry’s upcoming birthday, a significant occasion that will be marked by a party in Montecito, California. According to sources close to the Sussexes, Prince Harry will be celebrating the milestone on Sunday with a party hosted at the mansion he shares with Meghan Markle.
“Harry could send a video of Archie and Lilibet’s celebrations to King Charles,” the insider revealed. The Duke of Sussex’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are expected to connect with their grandfather via Zoom during the festivities. This virtual interaction will offer King Charles a chance to enjoy the occasion with his grandchildren despite the physical distance, told GB News.
“King Charles still loves his estranged son even after Harry’s claims against the royal family. He will send a private message to the Duke on his big day,” another royal source confirmed. Although no members of the British royal family are anticipated to attend the event in the US, given the strained relations with Harry, the monarch’s gesture highlights a continued affection for his son.
The news comes on the heels of Princess Kate’s recent health announcement, which King Charles is reportedly celebrating with great joy. This positive development contrasts with the ongoing tensions between Harry and the royal family.
It’s worth noting that Meghan Markle’s birthday, which fell on August 4, received no public acknowledgment from the royal family. The Duchess of Sussex turned 43 and celebrated privately with Harry. This lack of public recognition underscores the current estrangement between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
As the Sussexes prepare for Harry’s birthday celebration, the virtual connection with King Charles will serve as a bridge to maintain familial bonds despite the physical and emotional distances that have grown over recent years.
