Prince Harry, who turned 36 on Tuesday, woke up in California to an outpouring of love from his royal relatives in the UK. The official Instagram accounts for Queen Elizabeth II, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, all posted photos of Harry in honor of his birthday.
The Kensington Palace account, owned by William and Kate, shared an image of Harry, William, and Kate racing, while the Clarence House account, owned by Charles and Camilla, posted a photo of Harry and his father sharing a laugh. The Duke of Sussex was also seen smiling with his grandmother at an event in 2017 on the Royal Family’s account.
Harry, who is celebrating his first birthday since stepping down as a senior member of the royal family in March, is reportedly spending the day at his new home in Santa Barbara, California, with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their 1-year-old son, Archie. According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, his birthday celebration was expected to be a "low-key affair."
"Just on this occasion they celebrated quietly at home," Nicholl told ET. "I'm told they got the chance to switch off from their devices. They weren't actually working yesterday, so it would have been just a nice family day enjoyed with the three of them."
Harry is also expected to reconnect with royal family members online today. Nicoll shared that Harry will speak to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, who he connects with often. The queen reportedly loves to see Archie and catch up with the family. He will also chat with his father, the Prince of Wales, and possibly Prince William, Nicoll said.
Recently, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix to produce content for the streaming service. They are expected to focus on causes that are close to their heart like the environment, female empowerment and wounded veterans. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they are currently working on a nature docuseries and an animated series about inspirational women.
