Prince Harry’s 40th birthday tribute from the royal family stirred up some buzz on social media.
On September 15, the official royal Instagram shared a picture of Harry laughing in a suit, marking the first time his birthday was publicly acknowledged since 2021.
While some fans were happy to see the post, others took issue with it, especially over the photo choice. The image, taken in 2018, originally showed both Harry and Meghan at a public event.
However, Meghan was cropped out in the post, sparking questions about the royal family’s intentions.
A source close to the royal family explained that the photo was shared as it was received from the Press Association and had not been altered. Still, the exclusion of Meghan raised eyebrows.
Harry and Meghan have kept busy since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. They’ve welcomed two children, released a docuseries, and continued to advocate for various causes.
Harry is also expected to return to the UK on September 30 for the WellChild Awards.
