Prince Harry celebrates 38th birthday with wife Meghan amidst family feud

Prince Harry celebrated his 38th birthday with his wife Meghan Markle on September 15, amidst a difficult week for the royal family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been in the headlines for their strained relationship with the rest of the family.

However, Harry and his brother Prince William appeared to have put their differences aside as they mourned the loss of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The brothers were seen together in public for the first time since the late monarch's platinum jubilee in June.

The two princes joined William's wife, Kate, and Charles and Camilla for a walkabout at Windsor Castle over the weekend.

Thousands of well-wishers gathered to pay their respects to the Queen, who passed away last Thursday at the age of 96.

Earlier today, William insisted to the crowds during a walkabout at the Sandringham Estate that he had not forgotten his brother's birthday, according to The Sun.

William was the one who invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to the Windsor walkabout in an olive branch gesture to the couple, who have moved their life overseas with their children Archie and Lilibet.

The new Prince of Wales and Harry marched together during the poignant and sombre procession in the capital yesterday.

They were later joined at Westminster Hall, where the Queen is lying in rest, by Kate and Meghan.

Harry and Meghan were not at William's Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor, but it is understood that they celebrated privately.

Meanwhile, it is thought that William and Harry sat down for dinner together after receiving the Queen's Coffin at Buckingham Palace this week.

The royal brothers have reportedly been estranged from one another since Harry's split from the royal family two years ago.

However, after they received Her Majesty's Coffin Tuesday evening, reports surfaced claiming the brothers, along with Kate and Meghan, sat down for a family meal.

The intimate get-together is thought to have taken place at Buckingham Palace.

Before the dinner, the Sussexes joined the working royals at Buckingham Palace to receive the Coffin from Scotland.

The couple looked sombre as they drove past thousands of mourners in a black car, where the Queen's Coffin was being transported by a hearse.

On Saturday, Prince Harry will wear his military uniform in a special tribute to the Queen.

The Duke of Sussex has been given special permission to don his military colours for a lying-in-state vigil staged by Her Majesty's grandchildren at Westminster Hall.

The Queen's eight grandchildren, including Harry and William, will stand on Saturday evening in silence for a 15-minute vigil alongside Her Majesty's Coffin.

However, palace officials intervened after it emerged that Prince Andrew, who is no longer a working royal, had been given special permission to wear his uniform at a vigil over the Queen's Coffin attended on Friday by her four children, despite being banned at earlier ceremonial events.

In other news, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly not been invited to a special state event in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth being hosted by King Charles III.

An official state event hosted by King Charles is scheduled for Sunday, September 18, 2022, with heads of states and official foreign guests on the invite list alongside working royals.

This means Prince Harry, Meghan, and Prince Andrew have been excluded from the list.

A spokesperson from Buckingham Palace confirmed the same, saying that only working royals will take part.

The Palace statement also said that the King and the Queen consort will host heads of state and official overseas guests at Buckingham Palace ahead of the state funeral of Her Majesty the Queen.

This will be an official state event.

Prince Harry and Andrew have also been notably banned from wearing their military uniforms at the Queen's funeral, with only working royals being granted the honour.

However, the two have been allowed to wear the uniforms on other special events.

To wear the uniforms of the Queen Kot bat, one of instructions from the veteran in the royal cover letter of Prince William's mommy.

In conclusion, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated his 38th birthday amidst a difficult week for the royal family.

Despite their strained relationship with the rest of the family, Harry and William appeared to have put their differences aside as they mourned the loss of their grandmother.

The brothers were seen together in public for the first time since the late monarch's platinum jubilee in June.
