Prince Harry is set to celebrate his 40th birthday with a low-key family gathering at his Montecito home, followed by a lads' holiday with close friends. Despite the milestone, there will be no communication between him and his estranged brother, Prince William, due to their ongoing rift. Harry has shared his excitement about turning 40, citing fatherhood and his children, Archie and Lilibet, as significant influences on his life and work. His popularity has waned in the UK, but he remains committed to his philanthropic efforts, including the Invictus Games. Meghan Markle played a key role in planning the celebrations, which reflect Harry's preference for simplicity over grandiosity.
