Prince Harry Wasn't Invited To King Charles III’s 75th Birthday Celebration

Prince Harry won't be attending the birthday celebrations for King Charles III.

“In response to UK media headlines, there has been no contact regarding an invitation to His Majesty’s upcoming birthday."

A source initially revealed Harry declined the invitation to the event. 

Charles will be holding a celebration with friends and family at Clarence House in London for his 75th birthday. It will take place November 14th. 

Harry recently flew overseas for a handful of big events. In September, he and Meghan supported the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany. 

On the way there, Harry made a brief stop in the U.K. and attended the 2023 WellChild Awards. During his stay, he paid respects to his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II at St. George’s Chapel, marking the 1st anniversary of her death.

“Everybody knows how close Harry and the queen had always been so visiting [her burial site] and being able to pay his respects meant the world to him. Although Harry is living in the States now, the U.K. will always feel like home to him, so it felt very special that he was able to attend.”

Despite being in town, he didn’t visit Charles or Prince William. 

Harry has been at odds with the two since he and Meghan stepped down from their senior royal duties in March 2020, moving their family to California. 

Since their exit, they have spoken out about the ups and downs experienced as members of the royal family.

Harry and Charles previously reunited in May for Charles' coronation ceremony. Meghan didn't attend the occasion. Instead, she chose to stay in the U.S. to celebrate Archie’s 4th birthday.

“My understanding is [Harry] didn’t have any interactions with the Prince or Princess of Wales but that he did have a conversation with his father the night before."

While tensions are high, the drama is bringing Charles and William closer together.

“They’ve had to put up this united front against Harry and Meghan. They’ve been insulted by members of their own family. It’s been quite the ordeal for them, and I think that they kind of circled the wagon, so to speak. And they’ve come out of that with a stronger bond.”
