“Harry was watching Wimbledon and was thrilled to see Kate looking so radiant. He sent her a note to congratulate her and let her know how happy he was to see her out,” the source said, per Marie Claire.

“He and Meghan are just so grateful that she’s on the mend and able to get back to her duties after taking time off.”

Prince Harry celebrates 40th birthday

It’s now been four years since Harry and Meghan stepped down from their duties with the Royal Family. As touched upon, the intervening time period has seen many accusations and claims made against the monarchy. While it’s said that Harry misses his old lifestyle, making amends with his family – more specifically King Charles and Prince William – seems like a lifetime away.

However, in the middle of what appears to be an emotional roller coaster for Harry, he’s also experienced many happy moments. One of those occurred on Sunday, September 15, as he turned 40. According to the BBC, he celebrated the big day with family in California and later went on a vacation with his closest friends.

“I was anxious about 30, I’m excited about 40,” Harry told BBC ahead of his birthday.

“Becoming a father of two incredibly kind and funny kids has given me a fresh perspective on life, as well as sharpening my focus in all my work,” the prince said in a statement released by his spokesperson.

The Duke added: “Being a dad is one of life’s greatest joys and has only made me more driven and more committed to making this world a better place.”

Though the Royal Family doesn’t seem to want anything to do with Harry, several birthday wishes were posted by the monarchy in honor of the Duke’s birthday.

“Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!” King Charles’ and Queen Camilla’s social media posts read.

Kate Middleton could be the key for Harry & William reconciliation

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s social media account also marked Harry’s birthday. Their post read: “Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!”

Prince Harry and King Charles’ relationship is slightly better than the one he shares with William, while the fact that the Prince and Princess of Wales’ decided that a post to mark Harry’s birthday was a good idea could mean things are heading in the right direction regarding salvaging things.

Writing in the Mirror, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond stated that while Prince Harry and Prince William might not manage to end the feud, the post could end their bitterness for each other.

“I don’t think this almost insignificant gesture signals the start of a reconciliation, but it is an unexpected twist,” Bond wrote.

“Landmark birthdays are often a time for taking a look at your life. This time it seems to be William who has been doing some re-evaluation. My gut feeling is that Catherine was influential in this slight softening of her husband’s implacable stand. In the film she made about the end of her chemotherapy, she told how cancer had given her a new perspective.”

Bond added that Kate Middleton could’ve “persuaded” William into thinking that “life is too short for grudges.” However, she stated that Harry and his brother’s relationship is “almost irretrievable.”

“William has so much on his plate that I don’t think he has time to deal with Harry. But first steps matter. And though the brothers may never be close again, it doesn’t mean the future has to be full of bad blood. Catherine is right. Family should always be paramount,” Bond said.

Why Prince Harry once cancelled birthday party because of Kate Middleton

Now, the Royal Family wouldn’t have celebrated Harry’s birthday in person, but it used to be a big event on the royal calendar when he was still a member of the fold.

It’s even been reported that Harry had to cancel his birthday plans once because of Kate Middleton. As reported by the Mirror, in the run-up to Harry’s 30th birthday, Prince William and Kate Middleton had planned an intimate dinner for Harry. The family was to attend, including his cousins and other close pals.

However, the day before his big day, Kate began suffering from severe morning sickness (she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte).

Harry, who, as mentioned, had a fantastic relationship with Kate, didn’t want to celebrate the birthday without his sister-in-law. In the end, the Duke called off the dinner entirely!

“Harry was in no doubt that the party should be postponed, even though 30 is an important milestone. Kate had been very involved in organising Harry’s party, and once she fell ill he felt it wrong to let the event go ahead,” a source told the Mirror.

While the part was called off, Vanity Fair reported that the party went ahead later – when Harry and Kate could finally celebrate the big day together.
