Waleses join the royal family in marking the King’s 77th birthday
Prince William and Princess Catherine marked King Charles’ 77th birthday with a warm public message.
On 14 November, the Prince and Princess of Wales reshared the official birthday portrait released by the royal family and added their simple greeting: “Happy birthday to The King!”
Earlier in the day, Buckingham Palace issued the new photograph of the monarch, showing Harry’s father standing in a lush green setting. A spokesperson for the King later thanked the public for the many messages sent to mark his birthday.
Will the Duke of Sussex send a birthday message?
It is still unclear whether the Duke of Sussex reached out to his father in private.
There is speculation he may send a personal message, particularly after his recent visit to Clarence House to see his father following the King’s cancer diagnosis. Observers believe he may feel the moment calls for a gesture, especially as the King is grandfather to his children.
