In an unexpected turn of events in the royal rift, the royal family surprised the public with a birthday wish for Prince Harry.
On Sunday, September 15th, the Duke of Sussex marked his milestone 40th birthday and received an official birthday greeting from King Charles’ office and the official social media account of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
This move came as a major breakthrough in between Prince Harry and the royals. Previous reports suggested that the monarch had been ignoring his younger son’s phone calls, while William was still not on speaking terms with his brother.
While the optics appear optimistic, a friend of King Charles shared whether this means a royal reconciliation is on the cards or not, dubbing it as a “significant” move.
“I am sure a call will be scheduled,” the friend told The Daily Beast of the King’s plans for Harry’s birthday.
“They spoke on Charles’ birthday. This message is a significant olive branch from the king, and the ball is now in Harry’s court,” he added.
However, it is pertinent to note that the relations between the father-son relations have been fraught in the past months, as Harry aggressively pursued his security case against the UK Home Office.
It remains to be seen if an actual conversation took behind the scenes which will eventually thaw relations amid the years-long rift.
