King Charles III has clarified his stance on Prince Harry’s royal title, sending a strong message on Harry's 40th birthday. In a public display of affection, the King referred to his son as the Duke of Sussex, confirming that he has no intention of stripping Harry of his title.
The 75-year-old monarch, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, conveyed his enduring love for Harry, hinting that despite their complex relationship, the bond remains intact. Reports suggest that King Charles and Harry regularly communicate via video calls, with Harry updating the King on life in Montecito with their children.
Despite the King's gesture, the relationship between Harry and his brother, Prince William, remains strained. Still, the Prince and Princess of Wales joined in the birthday wishes, sharing a public message that read: "Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!"
The birthday post sparked mixed reactions, with some praising the royal family for acknowledging Harry, while others questioned the gesture given his departure from royal duties. One fan commented, "There hasn’t been a post like this in years towards Harry. So nice to see!" Meanwhile, others expressed disapproval, highlighting the loyalty shown by other non-working royals.
