Prince William and King Charles Wish Prince Harry Happy 40th Birthday with a throwback picture in Surprise Gesture amid Ongoing Rift
The celebratory posts are unprecedented given that public birthday wishes are reserved for working royals and, given the ongoing rift between Harry and his brother and his strained relationship with his father, many are viewing the first birthday messages in two years as an olive branch from the King and the Prince of Wales.
In July, sources told PEOPLE that Harry’s calls and letters to King Charles, go unanswered, and his attempts to connect with Prince William — through texts, calls, and messages — were similarly ignored. However, while the royal insider noted that the rift with Prince William was “very bad,” they added that it was not “irreparable.
