It's Archie's sixth birthday today, but his dad, Prince Harry (40), seems to be a no-show at the bash in Montecito, California. He's got an essential gig in Las Vegas on his plate. The Duke of Sussex is teaming up with the "Diana Award" to launch a new youth initiative. As per "People" mag, he'll participate in a panel discussion in Nevada, among other things. Archie's mom, Duchess Meghan (43), and his sis, Princess Lilibet (3), are sure to make the birthday boy's day awesome.
Not a New Trend
This isn't the first time Prince Harry's skipped his firstborn's birthday. Back in 2023, he jetted off to good ol' Blighty for King Charles' (76) coronation. Post the London ceremony, he hightailed it to the airport to reunite with his brood ASAP. Also, Archie's third birthday saw Harry partly absent, as he was reportedly playing polo with his pal Nacho Figueras (48), according to the British press.
In 2022, the royal family's last public wish for Archie's happy birthday was on an Instagram story from the official account. It read: "Happy 3rd birthday to Archie Mountbatten-Windsor!"
Rocky Relationship with the Royals
Since Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan quit as working royals and moved Stateside, their relationship with the British royal family is rumored to be turbulent. This was also on display in Harry's recent BBC conversation. Last week, the King Charles' son spilled the beans about his frosty relationship with his papa. Harry shared that his dad's not talking to him due to the security issue. He also hinted at a potential reconciliation with the ailing king: "I'm not sure about my father's remaining time."
Harry's interview followed his dropped lawsuit over his reduced security arrangements post 2020. In his BBC chat, he appeared to accuse the royal family of meddling in the decision to lessen his security detail. Buckingham Palace and the British government rejected this allegation flat out.
