Prince Philip turned 99 on Wednesday (June 10) and received digital congratulations on Instagram from Prince William, 37, and Duchess Catherine, 38, Prince Charles, 71, and Duchess Camilla, 72, and Princess Eugenie, 30 . Prince Harry, 35, and Duchess Meghan, 38, however, said nothing. However, there is no bad intent behind it, but a simple explanation: On March 30, Harry and Meghan initially closed their Instagram account and no longer published any posts. "While you may not see us here, work will continue," Harry promised at the time, adding, "We look forward to reconnecting with you soon."
Carolyne Durand, co-author of the highly anticipated Harry and Meghan book, Finding Freedom (published August 11), wrote on Twitter that the couple had personally contacted Philip instead to give him all the best to wish for the 99th birthday.
