Prince Harry's 40th birthday is marked by private celebrations with his wife Meghan Markle and their children at home in Montecito, followed by a getaway with close friends. King Charles III is expected to extend a birthday greeting via Skype, indicating a potential thaw in their strained relationship. Despite these gestures, Harry's relationship with his brother Prince William remains distant, highlighted by their separation at a recent family funeral. Harry’s reflections on turning 40 emphasize his commitment to his family and humanitarian work, although royal experts note the challenges he faces in maintaining his 'royal celebrity status.'
