Prince William
“No, I didn’t forget Harry’s birthday”
Prince William and Prince Harry seem to be putting their conflict in the background in their grief for the Queen.
Although Prince William and Prince Harry have put aside their feud over the past few days to mourn the Queen, fans are wondering: has William forgotten his brother’s birthday?
With all the mourning for Queen Elizabeth, † 96, Prince Harry’s 38th birthday on September 15th almost went under. The day was still fresh with memories of the moving procession for the Queen the day before as the coffin was brought from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. Even members of the royal family would certainly have been forgiven if they hadn’t had Harry’s birthday on their radar – especially given the ongoing feud between King Charles’ youngest son, 73, and the family.

But no, Harry’s brother Prince William, 40, and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, have not forgotten his birthday. They revealed that to a few fans yesterday, Thursday. While Harry is said to have spent his birthday very quietly with his wife Duchess Meghan, 41, William and Kate used the day to speak to British citizens again and mourn with them.

Did Prince William forget his brother’s birthday?
At the gates of Sandringham, the two admired the impressive sea of sympathy cards and bouquets of flowers and held one or two conversations with the mourners. These apparently drew William’s attention to his brother’s birthday, to which he is said to have replied, according to “The Sun”: “Today is his birthday – you are absolutely right.” But that wasn’t enough for the fans. One asked whether William might have forgotten this. His answer is short and clear: “No, I haven’t forgotten him.”
The public will not get more for the time being. But the fans have hope. William and Harry not only walked side by side in the procession and finally said goodbye to the Queen together with their wives, the four are said to have had dinner together on the same day.
