King Charles prepares bitter gift for Prince Harry’s 40th birthday

As Prince Harry’s 40th birthday approaches on September 19, it appears that King Charles III has made a conscious decision to maintain his distance,

casting a shadow over what could have been a significant moment for father and son.

Prince Harry, who has been largely estranged from his father in recent years, reportedly hoped for some recognition from King Charles on his milestone birthday

The two have not communicated since early 2024, when Prince Harry hurried to London upon learning of King Charles’s cancer diagnosis. Despite the emotional nature of that visit, the relationship has remained cold, with the King allegedly ignoring all attempts by Harry and Meghan Markle to reconnect.

Sources have revealed that King Charles is unlikely to reach out to his son on this important day, either publicly or privately.

“He gets unavailable right now. His calls go unanswered. He has tried to reach out about the King’s health, but those calls go unanswered, too,” an insider told People.

The King is reportedly determined to avoid any further family drama. He has expressed a desire for peace in his later years, a peace that he feels has been disrupted by Prince Harry and Meghan’s public revelations about the Royal Family.

King Charles believes that the best gift he can offer his son is the absence of conflict, choosing to stay away rather than risk a confrontation.

This decision has left Prince Harry clinging to the hope that he might at least receive a private birthday message, though insiders suggest that even this modest wish may go unfulfilled.
