Prince Harry Skips Archie's Birthday Party Again
Skipping another year for Archie's birthday celebration. - Skipping Archie's birthday celebration once more.
Hey there! Let's chat about Prince Archie's birthday today. Despite celebrating his sixth birthday in Montecito, California, his dad, Prince Harry (40), isn't around to join the festivities. You guessed it – he's got a gig in Las Vegas. Harry's set to launch a fresh youth initiative alongside the "Diana Award." According to "People" magazine, he'll partake in a panel discussion in Nevada, and more. Archie's mom, Duchess Meghan (43), and sis, Princess Lilibet (3), are picking up the slack, making the birthday boy's day extra special.
Not a New Trend
It ain't the first time Harry's missed one of Archie's birthdays. Back in 2023, he jetsetted back to Blighty for the ol' King Charles (76) coronation. Word on the street is he hightailed it to the airport immediately following the shindig in London. Seems Harry had plans to reunite with the crew ASAP. He also supposedly skipped out on part of Archie's third birthday bash, as he was caught playing polo with his mate Nacho Figueras (48), according to Brit media outlets.
Archie's last public birthday wish came in 2022 from none other than the royal family's own Insta account. The statement read, "Happy 3rd birthday to Archie Mountbatten-Windsor!" 🎂
Tense Relationship
Ever since Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan retired as working royals and headed stateside, their familial rapport's been strained, as clear as day in Harry's recent BBC interview. Last week, Harry shared some deets about his rocky relationship with King Charles (76). He claimed the monarch didn't speak to him because of "this security thing." Harry also mulled over a possible healing between him and the ailing king, expressing, "I don't know how much time my father has left."
Harry's chat followed his unsuccessful lawsuit against the reduction of his security measures post-2020. In the interview, it seemed Harry accused the royal crew of meddling with the decision to lessen his security. Both the British government and Buckingham Palace have denied this accusation.
