The royals have continued the legacy of sidelining the non-working royals. While Prince Harry turned 39th on Friday, the Palace maintained the usual silence of Sussex birthdays. However, Prince Harry had his home away from home to make his day special. Duchess Meghan Markle made sure Prince Harry was at the locus of attention. Meanwhile, the speculations that Markle had distanced the Prince from his UK friends have been rendered speechless. 

While the Invictus season continues in full bloom, Prince Harry received a rapturous birthday serenade on the 15 of September. 

Highlights of Prince Harry’s birthday bash 

The celebrations officially started off in broad daylight with the Invictus community presenting the Duke with a serenade song. However, his beloved wife, Meghan Markle, made sure their private celebrations were up to date. Before Friday, the Duke and the Duchess strolled down the streets of Düsseldorf up to a restaurant for a late-night birthday celebration. They even bumped into the Dusseldorf beer factory, with a heavy influence seen later on.

The next day, Prince Harry received showers of love and affection from everyone present at the games. Starting with high-profile National authorities like the Düsseldorf mayor to his long-time friends, the Duke had them all. The mayor gifted the prince with a special cake, while the community got him a second on behalf of the fans.

Prince Harry had his childhood friend accompanying him

Nicky Scott, a name often listed as Prince Harry’s friend-turned-brother, flew to Düsseldorf to surprise the Duke. The London-based businessman and Prince Harry’s fellow Etonian, has been in close contact with the couple before and after the Megxit, all throughout. Proof of their friendship was prominently visible when Scott even chose to raise his voice against the wrongdoings in the famous Netflix docuseries. 

It was the same friend who appeared in the December bombshell, Harry & Meghan, lending his staunch support to the pair. Recently at the Invictus Games, he also greeted the Duchess with all smiles. While attending the Volleyball finale, the trio was seen laughing their heart out, taking delight at the enchanting sporting events. 

In the same match, the Sussexes were also seen chugging a mug of beer. The couple took their PDA to a whole different level as they guzzled the pint from the very same mug. Lastly, the event also played an adorable “Happy Birthday” song, which made the Duke a little shy, but happy nonetheless.
