Prince William’s fingerprints are all over the British media’s absolute hysteria for Prince Harry’s 40th birthday. Today is Harry’s birthday, and every single British newspaper and tabloid is currently running no fewer than a dozen articles or columns about said birthday. I’ll acknowledge that the British peeps have shown an abiding obsession with all things Sussex, so they were probably always going to go overboard in their coverage of the 40th b-day of The Prince Who Left. But William and King Charles’s offices are clearly briefing about Harry too, as they’ve been doing for years. Interestingly, with this particular story, I get the feeling that Charles is trying to save William from himself. Initially, the Mail’s headline was “’No call’ between Prince Harry and Prince William expected on the Duke of Sussex’s 40th birthday.” That was changed to include the information that Charles will likely call Harry.
King Charles will reach out to Prince Harry as soon as he wakes up on his 40th birthday as there is ‘still a lot of love’ between the father and son, a source has said. The monarch, 75, is expected to call his youngest son on Skype on Sunday afternoon UK time, so the pair can speak as soon as the Duke of Sussex wakes up in California.
But there will be ‘no call’ between Prince William and Prince Harry on the major milestone birthday as the brothers ‘don’t even speak’, another source has claimed.
It is understood Prince Harry will head off on a holiday with his ‘closest mates’ to celebrate his birthday, while Meghan stays at home with their two children. This will reportedly follow a party at his £11million home in Montecito, California.
The Duke of Sussex should expect to hear from his father early in the day on his 40th birthday, a royal insider told the Sunday Express, who claimed there is ‘still a lot of love’ in the family. The source added: ‘They tend to use Skype when they communicate because they can see each other and it’s all set up by staff so it runs smoothly.’
However, there will be one feature notably missing from Prince Harry’s 40th birthday – a phone call from his brother Prince William, as the pair reportedly don’t speak. Though Harry and William have typically celebrated major milestones together, a source told the Mirror that there ‘will be no transatlantic call between to the two on Harry’s big day.’
The insider added: ‘What a difference the years have brought. When Harry turned 30, it looked like nothing could come between him and his brother. Together, they were set to become the new face of the royals, injecting a much needed modernisation of The Firm. But now, William and Harry don’t even speak. Before, they always celebrated major milestones together but there will be no transatlantic call between to the two on Harry’s big day.’
William is so sad and pathetic these days. Harry is obviously on William’s mind – William keeps briefing every British outlet about Harry, William created a whole-ass fantasy storyline about Harry being desperate to return to the UK to do William’s work, and now William is crying about how he won’t call his brother. William is even growing a beard to look more like Harry, and William’s wife is desperately trying to channel the kind of affectionate, loving marriage Harry and Meghan have. But a phone call? Of course not. Hilariously, I wonder if William even has Harry’s current number. Anyway, it’s interesting that Charles stepped in and wanted people to know that he’s calling Harry.
Both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace wished Harry a happy birthday on their social media accounts. Y’all know there was a meeting about it.
Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex! https://t.co/ZKJbYDmV6L

So harry will go on holiday with his closest mates for his birthday and leave his wife and children. Wishful thinking by the media imo and something more likely for William to do on his birthday. The put down of harry and Meghan marriage as per usual by derangers.
I don’t see any problem with Harry going on a trip with his friends for his birthday, he’ll be celebrating with his family on the day, so what’s the issue?
@Harla. Agree 100%
No issue whatsoever.
The issue is the spin that harry misses his UK friends before Meghan as some in negative media put it took him away. And the words it is understood is no proof it will happen. Some derangers talk of harry going to Vegas and repeating the prior Vegas episode. The derangers want harry to be single again.
The Wails marriage is a miserable mess between 2 deeply dysfunctional failures to launch and Willy/the media deflect by insinuating Harry/Meghan are not happily married with a dose of wishful thinking that Harry will return to do Will-not’s work with his tail between his legs. Is the media really going to continuously run this childish narrative (Willy is bigly mad and will never forgive Harry) for the next 40 years? Harry is gone for good and the rota fixation/Willy’s obsession with him are WEIRD.
@Tessa, H&M don’t live their lives with the fear of derangers. They also say, Meghan controls him and doesn’t allow him to see his friends because he lives in USA with his wife and children. Harry probably informed the press about his trip, because when he joins his friends abroad, there would be public photos and the press would speculate endlessly. So, he shared the trip news himself.
@Harla, agree. No issue. For every one of my DH’s decade bdays, since we married, I planned a big dinner out for him and his longtime good friends. Twice I tried to convince him to do a weekend thing. When you celebrate being with someone every day (fyi, once in a while it’s okay to feel otherwise-we all need our space), the other person doing a fun thing isn’t an issue.
I “don’t” remember which BRF member it was, seem to recall one of them checking out of royal events for fun times. Like bad Dad dancing with women on a boys vacation.
The general story has been that he’ll celebrate his birthday at home and then go on a little trip with his friends. Climate Week in NYC doesn’t start until the 22nd.
Ehh it’s his 40th. I can see him celebrating on his actual birthday with his family and friends in California and then heading out tomorrow to hang with his boys(probably to botswana) for a few days before he heads to NY for work. You only turn 40 once so i don’t see any issue with a guy doing an extra celebration after his birthday with close friends and we know from Spare that Meghan is supportive having these types of trips from time to time. Also: didn’t Meghan go on a girls ski trip earlier this year? I swear i remember her friend Heather posting a picture with M on the slopes a few months back.
That s ok and I agree
But it brings on articles about wanting the old days back before harry married and he would leave Meghan.
This information is from his team. He told People that he would celebrating with family and then gathering with close friends internationally.
The sinister part is how the derangers twist this
@Tessa – they’re called derangers for a reason, because they’re deranged. H&M can’t stay locked up in their home because of a bunch of crazy people on the internet.
Harry’s not living his life to please the derangers. If Meghan was going on the trip the derangers would be saying she’s controlling him. I suspect Meghan went on a girl’s trip for her 40th birthday and now it’s Harry’s turn.
Tessa, There’s no truth about any of this. They lie and twist everything. Nothing Harry will do will be OK. You can’t have any logic with these people. Harry’s living his life with his actual family and his friends.
Pink I know this. It just bothers me is that Charles and even the queen did nothing about it.
And the reason why he even felt the need to get this info out preemptively is that if a photo is leaked the BM will be all over ‘Harry escaping from Meghan and his friends helping him’ or some shit.
Tessa, the BM say endlessly Harry has no friends. Harry apparently confirmed after a family and then friends event, he’s going away for a few days with mates.
Of course they’re going to spin it negatively, but they will anyway! Harry has no friends. Meghan stops Harry seeing friends. He’s not living his life for the lies of every single British publication. They all lie about him.
I really don’t think Harry will care if his idiot brother doesn’t call. I think he will be happy with the family and friends that he does have and will celebrate with them. The gutter press can pound sand with all their crappy articles.
Lady Campbell writes these books appealing to derangers. They may not even bother to buy them
The there is tom bower
The BM and derangers do like to insinuate that there may be fractures in the sussex marriage. But it’s because they don’t want the Wales couple to be the only ones with a fractured marriage. But there’s just no evidence of Harry and Meghan having any issues regardless of how they try to spin.
And they are in denial that the Wales marriage is not perfect to put it mildly and writes that they are the bestest happiest couple on the planet.
My friend group is turning 40, or just did, and we all had mini-friend trips lined up in addition to celebrating with our significant others. This is really normal now if you can swing it financially and logistically, and such a fun experience/celebration with your friends you aren’t able to see often. The trips I’ve been a part of are quick 2-3 days bc people need to get back to their spouses (and kiddos).
Yes, I did it for my 40th as well. A bunch of old friends who now live in different cities met up in NYC for a 4-day long weekend and had a blast! Nothing wrong with it!
There is a party planned with Meghan, the children and guests before the trip. It is reported that the trip is Meghan’s idea and plan. I thinks that’s fine.
I think that maybe you’re reading a bit too much into it. I don’t think people expect a married couple to spend every waking moment together. It’s not unusual to take trips with friends, especially around milestone birthdays. You can both celebrate with your spouse and then take a trip.
Hard to believe William is only 42. I know 60 year olds who look better than him.
Charles is only trying to make himself look like a loving father. Which is why he made sure it was included that he would likely call Harry even though we all know that he won’t. I am surprised by the public congratulations. I had hoped they had stopped with that. It’s all phony.
Better not to have these bulletins from Charles. Too little too late.
I’ll believe Cluck made the call only if it’s confirmed by Team Sussex.
Otherwise it’s just more royal fanfic put out by the tabloid toadies to attempt to make a sh-t father appear slightly less sh-t.
My cynical take also. The SM wishes from KP and BP were so fans could comment how wonderful the RF is and they are taking the “higher ground” and make nasty comments about H&M.
I don’t think it matters if it’s phony or not. I can imagine that most of the world, except for the tabloids and derangers, is heartily sick of this ridiculous story. It’s not helping the RF in any way – H&M have figured out how to deal with it and there’s no more leverage. Charles is the one who can shut this down – whether he does it because he loves Harry or loves the Crown, the result would be the same.
Charles won’t ever shut this down for multiple reasons. The narrative still creates enough buzz for the tabloids therefore charles and william can largely do whatever they want. He also doesn’t give a F about his youngest son and Camilla even less. And this is hardly “shutting it down” or making peace with Harry. Especially since they didn’t wish his wife or children a happy birthday, at least publicly. Which is sort of the crux of this ordeal: they refuse to accept Meghan as family and refuse to treat her like a human being deserving of common respect. As long as they continue to try to exclude her, nothing will change.
@Chloe – I don’t think one birthday message is shutting things down, but I do think that the “We hate Harry” story is wearing thin. H&M are sailing along, showing the world what they can do, and “Meghan made everybody cry” can no longer cover up the RF’s deficiencies. Charles will do what he thinks is best for himself and the monarchy – Harry knows that. And Harry will do what’s best for himself and his family. Whether actions are sincerely felt or just performative won’t come into it – if this is to end, it will be a negotiation.
@Eurydice I agree. I think its more interesting that the story is out there (specifically that CHARLES will call but William DEFINITELY will not) than whether the story is true or not. this is from the DM so someone put this very specific story out there for a reason.
Over the past almost 5 years now there’s been a predictable back and forth with Charles’ PR – he’s so angry he’s going to evict Harry from Frogmore (which he did) but he also loves him and wants him to visit more and wants to see his grandkids etc. Its felt like the former is how Charles really feels and the latter is when some PR person grabs the reigns from Charles or Camilla and tries to right the ship briefly.
but over the past few months we’ve heard consistently that Charles is looking to forgive Harry, that Charles misses Harry, and now that charles will skype Harry on his birthday. Whether its true or not – the fact that the narrative is being put out there consistently is very interesting.
Only one question: what the hell happened to Wills? He looks like he aged 20 years, sth huge is happening in this family. Happy H&M are far away from it. They got out just in time. BRF would eat them alive now, including A&L, to distract from reality.
The dm also has a malevolent article about Meghan on harry s birthday. So typical
The raging racist just can’t help themselves from making sure everyone knows just how vile they are.. no wonder the crowds and tourism are in rapid decline.. won’t be long before people question what they are paying for.
I remember reading harry had invite some of invictus athlete to his home or going out with them last year.
One of the athlete telling that in an interview. Probably this hanging out is the same.
Not true.
Last years, on his birthday, Prince Harry was at the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany, where the crowd and the athtlets serenaded him on a few occasions.
Sending out birthday greetings today is performative as hell. I’m sure Harry would prefer an end to the briefings and smears by the Royal Family instead.
I’m rather surprised that WandK acknowledged Harry’s birthday, shocked actually, who would have thought it but more importantly why acknowledge it after William has spent the entire year screaming, crying and throwing up daily about his brother?
I’m surprised, too – even though they did it with the least amount of work possible, just copying Charles’ birthday wishes and not adding anything of their own. Maybe Will realizes all that screaming, crying and throwing up isn’t getting him anywhere, like when a toddler is exhausted after an epic tantrum.
At first I was confused, because I thought Kaiser had only posted KP’s birthday wishes before noticing that KP actually used BP’s birthday wishes as their post. So then…was KP forced into doing so? It seems really weird to just include your Dad’s original tweet as your own.
And as to BP saying they use Skype to communicate with Harry (like lots of long-distance families do) before actually getting in touch is smart marketing at the very least. If there’s no call later, the intention was there.
@ML – I can see W&K being forced into it. Like Charles saying “I’m sending birthday greetings, you’d better do it, too” and then W&K being passive-aggressive by just copying BP’s post.
Don’t forget that around March ( post frankenphoto), both William and Kate suddenly gained private secretaries who were connected to BP. At the time, we thought it was Charles saying “enough is enough, get some professionals on your team”, but now I wonder if they basically work for Charles – if he wants KP to wish Harry a happy birthday on their socials, (even in the most petulant way possible), then that’s what will happen. Doesn’t stop them from commissioning the cringe worthy videos or doing the least for the Olympians, but it’s checking the necessary boxes.
I also see KP being forced to do this by BP.
Since when does William do what Charles wants? Willie’s sort of famous for ignoring his father’s wants and needs. It would make more sense to hear BP posted it for the little manchild themselves.
They did but they made sure everyone knew it was simply perfomative because one of their favorite “journalist”,Matt something pointed that they didn’t sign with their initials (W+K). Never mind that they didn’t sign birthday wishes to Charles 😉.
Which is funny. Bc W+K = William and Kate. Which she’s never supposed to be referred to as Kate… so if they’re signing their own stuff as Kate but then leaking it’s rude that the Sussexes referred to her as Kate….well they are just proving what little hypocrites they are.
She uses C on those rare occasions she posts. Or her staff uses C.
Willy’s still stoned, Kate’s still tip toeing thru the tulips, so the staff made a decision? Or BP made the decision. 🤣🤣
I think KP’s office was told to send some acknowledgement, so they did. Willnot, probably still in a drunken stupor, and Cannot, probably hunkered down at her M&D’s, had nothing to do with it. It seems Chuck is taking negative public opinion re: the Workshy Wales, the shabby treatment of private citizens H&M, his 45 million pound pay raise in times of austerity, and a general increase in anti-monarchist sentiments more seriously.
I am not surprised about the birthday wishes by BP and KP. It is just the bare minimum Charlie’s and Willi’s communication teams probably watching social media reaction and probably learned from the backlash of their petty behaviour, from declined Harry accommodation when he is i the UK ( in May BP briefed quickly that Charles actually offered Harry to stay in a place which Harry felt unsuitable for the purpose of security), to not acknowledging Harry’s birthday in previous year ( BP quickly changed the rules that only “working ” royals birthday acknowledged publicly and with “non working” royals only “big” birthdays are acknowledged which 40 is one of them). A lot of people, even royal commentators, increasingly point out the royal family’s petty behaviour.
So BRF did the bare minimum.
Barely. They used BPs tweet, wrote a single sentence, and used zero emojis.
What? Not even Willnots favourite aubergine 🍆
I’d like to wish Harry the happiest of all possible birthdays. I hope he has an amazing party with his friends and family then goes on to enjoy some male bonding with Nacho, his proper brother, and his other mates.
These social media posts are sceduled and routinely done by their comms people. None of the royals post anything themselves. They just wait for an approval from their principals.
What would happen if Prince Harry stood up to the right-wing tabloids’ intrusive gossip about his birthday? That’s right, more nasty gossip as usual. Prince Harry’s birthday, once again orchestrated with vile hatred of Meghan (by CP-controlled staff, the non-existent “Survivor Club” who won’t leave her alone with their anti-Meghan hate campaign), is a private affair, and Londoners have so far congratulated every milestone birthday of members of the family on their channels. So there was no olive branch this year, nor any punishment in previous years.
Something else occurred to me. What would happen if neither Charles nor William could be head of state? Then the underage George would become king and there would be a regency. Harry would be next in line to the throne, he would have to take over the regency, but he would have to be resident in the UK. If he doesn’t have that, Andrew is next in line to the throne, then his elder daughter. If Prince Harry doesn’t, one of them would have to take over the regency until George is 18.
I have to think Beatrice would be regent. Harry won’t and Andrew can’t. I also suspect it’s one of the reasons William is so fixated about Royal Lodge -trying to get CIII take it from Andrew and install his family before Beatrice could get it. I think he wants everything to himself and resents the late queen structuring Andrew’s lease so the Yorks are assured it in perpetuity.
Beatrice being seen as a favoured grandchild of the late queen in a grand house on the royal estate are optics William finds threatening and wants to avoid.
Yeah, that’s what I could see also. Harry and Andrew passing on being regent, and then as next in line, Beatrice becoming regent. If that were to happen.
. It is extremely doubtful Andrew would be regent. Harry may not want to so the next in line adult would be beatrice.
I doubt harry would leave his wife and children to become regent
What about his mother? Mother’s of underaged kings have been regent too. Or what about Cammie👀
George’s mother is not a Councillor of State or a blood royal. If Harry declined and Andrew was (rightfully) barred from the role it would then fall to Beatrice. Cam is a Councillor of State but not a blood royal.
You can’t decline the regency, only be disqualified, and Kate couldn’t become regent without a specific act passed Ala Philip back in the day. But Philip was a royal by birth and Kate isn’t.
This is why there’s been discussion about once again altering the act. Harry continues to be considered domiciled despite not living in the uk. (Not being domiciled is a grounds for disqualification). People have proposed DQing Harry and Andrew both. Because if Harry is DQ’d Andrew would be up.
Kate would, under the Act, be George’s guardian and in charge of non official acts like schooling.
It’s so weird that the royal social media accounts are wishing harry happy birth today. They haven’t done it in years and they usually make a bit stink about snubbing him to the rota. What’s going on here? I wonder if Earl Spencer allowing him to stay at Althorp has something to do with this. It made the other Charles look terrible
It’s just the Royal Family being performative as usual.
I think the royal SM accounts are be activated because it’s Harry’s 40th birthday, the decade passing birthday is the one that’s usually more celebrated.
@Chelsea…No, something larger is going on with that group. Kate and Charles supposedly have Cancer, William and Edward look like crap. I tried many years ago to read some of Nostradamus’s quatrains, but found them too jumbled and abstract for my limited intellect. Decided I’m going to go back again to try and cull anything from them that might be relevant to what’s going on today. Lol
OMG that picture of William goodness gracious!! They spend so much time telling everyone how much they don’t care about him, how much he misses them and wants to come back and be mistreated how everyone else totally hates them it’s pathetic. I hope Harry has a fantastic birthday with the people that love and care for him without restrictions.
Peggy is looking more and more like the Duke of Kent currently does.. his racist hate has made him as toxic as black mold and it shows.
Black mold is perfect here!
I was pleased to see in the Guardian and the Indy that Harry had been wished a public happy birthday by the palace, the first time for a few years, and Harry a non working royal, I have wondered if it is a result of the video, the King showing his shock at such a crass message. Funnily enough I also looked at the Wail, they didn’t have the information about the birthday wish at the time, just another nasty story about Meghan. They have clearly realised that the film was crass and are trying to divert attention by attacking their favourite target.
If I were to guess who survived cancer from images of the Wales, I would have guessed William.
Perhaps the beard is to deflect from how rapidly he has aged in appearance. His appearance rivals the Duke of Kent’s
Something is definitely serious wrong with him, no doubt. The whole issue with his beard is promoted for everyone to comment so as to avoid comment on his continually deteriorated condition…
Something is definitely wrong with Willie. Who goes on vacation and returns looking worse; weight loss, dark circles under sad eyes, wrinkled up and miserable? His emotional and physical decline is remarkable. The guy is falling apart.
“Who goes on vacation and returns looking worse?”
This!!!
Yeah William really looks bad here, definitely giving major hangover vibes. I guess he grew the beard so he can compete in the “Hot Royal” sweepstakes but he’s got a long, long way to go. Carl Philip of Sweden left him the dust.
Something bad happened. He’s suffering that. Plus drugs for sure. He’s not OK.
Maybe he’s suffering grief over the recent death of the Duke? Perhaps they were closer than we thought.
Maybe the Duke owed his dealers money and now they want it from Willie? Maybe a dealer is threatening to out him, although what paper would print that?
Maybe he’s running scared because he knows he can’t handle the monarchy by himself? Stressing because needs Harry’s ass back in England and can’t figure out how to do it in a way that brings Harry back groveling?
Are the Middletons blackmailing him? They say that when you aim for the king, you better not miss and based on his weight loss, I think a few barbs are hitting home.
Maybe he struggling with his thoughts of trying to take down Charles because he thinks the crown is the only thing that will keep Harry in line?
Just what is causing his extremely noticeable weight loss?
“Are the Middletons blackmailing him?”
Judging from those passive aggressive taps to William’s bottom by Kate in public, the five wheeled car photo getting published abroad out of nowhere, and the overdrive of PDA he was made to perform in that video with MaMidds literally shown ‘laying her cards on the table’ in it, I would say yes.
TINFOIL TIARA ON AND ACTIVATED……….
Maybe it was William who had a nervous breakdown at the end of last year. Yes, it’s ridiculous to think that KP would concoct a whole Kate Medical Saga to cover this up, but KP majored in ridiculous. The Firm can’t allow the heir to look unfit, and negotiated with Kate and the Middletons, sweetening the pot with “if you go for this, you won’t have to work anymore…”.
I don’t know of course, but it would explain why Kate looks so much healthier than William.
Choose your own adventure:
A: It is Kate and CIII who are ill.
B: It is William and CIII who are ill.
C: Kate, CIII and William are all ill.
D: any combination of the above is true but Kate also had some sort of altercation that necessitated facial reconstruction/new teeth hence her disappearance.
E: Someone poisoned all three of them in the run up to Christmas.
@Interested Gawker
I choose D, Alex! It would explain a lot, including the Middletons reappearing at Ascot this year, as well is featuring in that ridiculous, fantasy short film from the other week, where William suddenly looks like he loves his wife.
I go for D too.
E is very interesting! Especially when you underpay all your staff.
E is the Agatha Christie Option!
Something else occurred to me. What would happen if neither Charles nor William could be head of state? Then the underage George would become king and there would be a regency. Harry would be next in line to the throne, he would have to take over the regency, but he would have to be resident in the UK. If he doesn’t have that, Andrew is next in line to the throne, then his elder daughter. If Prince Harry doesn’t, one of them would have to take over the regency until George is 18.
I thought the latest pics of PW in uniform were doctored. Wow.
His decline is shocking, I don’t know if the Waleses were really at Balmoral this summer but if they were it’s making more sense to have repurposed last years image of them. It wasn’t Kate they were helping it doing that, it was William.
And Wootton crawled out of his lair to leave a bitter comment on KP’s birthday SM post, I have to wonder what he has on William, he had no filter in ‘reminding’ William that Harry used his book to ‘call him a bully’ and to call Princess Catherine ‘a bitch’. WHAAATTT?! He told him it was sad they were made to acknowledge Harry’s birthday. Who does he think he is? And they didn’t even make their own post, just reposted BP’s, but even that was too much for him? Really?
It is glossed over how Kate in front of cameras lunged at Meghan right before a walkabout.her actions speak for themselves
Gee, I wonder who called that one in. What a riot.
Ha – I’m going to assume that this was planted to see whether it would leak. The choice of platform is oddly specific. Since when does Harry use Skype? He and M usually use Facetime, don’t they? And wasn’t it Zoom with the Queen and Prince Philip?
“And it’s all set up by staff so it goes smoothly” eh? In other words, so we know precísely when it happens and are able to hang about in order to report to the tabloids.
Maybe BRFCo received product placement fees from Microsoft in exchange for mentioning Skype.
The tabloids article stated that Harry was beloved by everyone until he married a divorced American woman. No, that’s not the problem; why leave out the obvious, that Harry married a woman of color. That is why she is hated and vilified. Admit it, GB. The takedown of Meghan is all about race.
RF’s problem is that no matter how many birthdays Will has, he will never become an adult taking responsibility for his own life and actions. Harry is much happier at 40 for leaving that guilded cage. He looks happy and thriving whilst his brother looks like the walls are closing in on him because Will is trapped and can’t escape.
Hypocritical then. Anne is divorced and remarried. Charles and Cam are divorced and remarried.
And peter Phillips divorced and is dating now.
Maybe this is what the “Balmoral summit” was really about. William said “Fine! I’ll post a Happy Birthday tweet. But I get to grow my beard back out!”
Watching William and Kate frolic with the kids was the most uncomfortable things I’ve seen since Michael Jackson kissed Lisa Marie at the VMAs.
William is not a frolicker. He spent the last couple of years frowning while Kate smiled.
It’s best for them to just do nothing.
That video was a serious mistake.
Agreed Sunnyside up that video was the equivalent of an expensive sick note being charged to the UK taxpayer who is already paying for non existent service!
The performative birthday wish is a PR move to shift the uncomfortable focus on the Wills and Kate video show launched this week
Or it has finally dawned on the King that Harry is the best son.
He doesn’t have that much common sense
Pegsi is quite the example of a global statesman who eventually will also be the spiritual head of his national church and he’s full of rage and envy of his brother, not to mention full of racist hatred for his SIL. And let’s not forget that the very existence of his young niece and nephew pisses Pegs off.
What a leader to emulate! Jealous, insecure, lazy, inept, and full of rage. Britain is in for it.
Good times!
William doesn’t look well. These photos are quite the shock. As with these two, unless you see them in real light you have no clue. Anyway, I’m not surprised William won’t speak. I’m happy Charles will. Perhaps if William dropped the bitterness, he would start to feel better.
@Sparrow being unkind and full of anger really is taking its toll on Will. Drinking too excess won’t help either and will just add to his misery. Instead of bellyaching to RR, Will should be talking to a therapist and develop some better coping skills than drinking. He is father to 3 young children who love and need him to look after them. If Kate’s health is that uncertain then Will needs to take better care of himself and stop being so self destructive.
I’m sorry but William looks like he has been on many a lost weekend. I wonder if the Firm realizes William can’t do the job even at this time and the birthday greeting is Charles signaling he wants Harry back.
… they could talk about beards!!!
Yes, that would be the olive branch: Harry could tell William how to grow facial hair that doesn’t look make his chin look like a slimy chia pet.
I wish the Sussex family all the love in the world, whether they are called by Londoners on milestone birthdays or not. These people have done nothing to protect Harry, his wife and his children. None of Prince Harry’s girlfriends were treated well, which ultimately always led to the breakdown of their relationships. Just like Meghan, they were all intelligent, independent, smart and beautiful women who could not and would not put up with this misogynistic class system. The press never had anything good to say about any of these women who were under constant scrutiny. Harry wasn’t supposed to have anything. And then a black woman came along, and the war for Harry’s love intensified once again – until the near-suicide of a pregnant princess who was expecting Harry’s son. How can Prince Harry ever unapologetically forgive what the empathy-less family, the mercilessly evil press and the silent country have done to him? To him, the prince who was supposedly loved by everyone before Meghan?
I hope these performative social media posts are all Harry has to deal with from his “father” today, and he won’t have to endure a skype call. Can those be recorded BTW? I can see Chuckles’ courtiers who have to set it up trying to do so. I hope Harry doesn’t pick up.
Wow – birthday greetings from Dad and the Wales on social media. How warm and real these are … NOT
Always an agenda
I thought King Snubby wasn’t talking to Harry, so this is rather confusing. Is this cleanup on aisle 5?
I believe that the bm don’t want H&M and children back. There’s no way that will EVER happen when they continue to write about H, M, A & L the way they do. There’s more money in it for them to continue some kind of one-sided hate show.
I’m wishing Harry the best birthday ever! 🥳
On a less joyous note, I was neutral on the beard, but these pic- yeesh 😨
I wasn’t going to have an opinion on the beard too, but these pictures are…yikes.
Anyway, enough about the Other Brother, I hope Prince Harry has a great 40th birthday. It can be heavy given that you can’t really call yourself “Young” anymore but the lack of fucks you give really does plummet. I’m born the same year as Meghan and the only thing on my mind was living my best life and doing my part in making this world a better place. And we already know that’s a mission that he has taken on wholeheartedly.
So happy birthday Prince Henry of Wales. May your impact lingers with future generations. *Raise glass of wine*
Here’s wishing you a glorious (REVOLUTION) birthday, GOOD KING HARRY!
The pettiness and childish family continue to ruin the Royal Family .
Hope Harry has a wonderful birthday and an amazing year .
May he continue to thrive with his loving wife and children and loyal friends .
The top comments on that RF post are unsurprising… such as Don Wooten weighing in with a diaper load,vand people who are pissed that Charles and co. would dare say happy birthday to a TRAITOR! But I see a few supportive comments as well.
People are SO MAD about Harry like it makes any damn difference in their lives.
Chuck and Will truly need to move forward into reality and current times.
Such small minded and petty behavior by both of them.
Flaming hypocrites both.
Will is going to be in for a huge surprise after KC passes.
The under 50’s are already turning away from organized religion overall, the monarchy will not stand much longer.
William will be very lucky if he holds The Firm together for George. Or, maybe George will abdicate. Somebody best be training Charlotte just as much as George. lol
KC should find a way to meet H, M and the kids in person. He aint getting any younger.
And things will look very bad if KC passes before a public reunion.
If the next time Harry is in UK is for a funeral, that is going to lower The Firms draw.
C’mon on, Oasis is reuniting. Why not BRF? Liam Forever! 😁
Happy 40th Good King Harry . The only true graceful loving hearted one of them all.
And so In keeping with my petty side . F the Windsors. Who needs them .
Above poster states W&K as “Failures to Launch”
Thank You! 100% great comment.
W&K do next to nothing and yet get the upper amount of $$ endlessly until the end of history.
