King Charles ‘will be missing’ Harry on his 75th birthday as they ‘used to be so close’: ex-royal butler

Prince Harry is said to have called his father, King Charles, on his 75th birthday, which is thought to be a "turning point" in their relationship. Tensions between Prince Harry, 39, his wife Meghan Markle, 42, and the rest of the Royal Family, have reached fever pitch over the past few years, after Harry and Meghan left the Firm in 2020 and moved to the US.

The Royal Family's official social media accounts paid an incredible tribute to King Charles marking his 75th birthday on Tuesday, although two key relatives appear to be missing from the touching clips which date back to his birth in 1948.

The nation saw King Charles lead the rest of the Royal Family to remember the war dead at the weekend as the National Service of Remembrance was held at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. As well as senior members of the Firm who laid wreaths, Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales took their positions on the balcony of the Foreign Office to watch the solemn proceedings. But amid the poignancy was one moment between the two royal ladies that served to remind the public just how close they are and how they have been drawn together in the most unique circumstances.

On November 14, 2023, King Charles marked his 75th birthday.

In November 2018, a series of family portraits were taken for King Charles (who, at the time, was still a Prince) in honor of his 70th birthday.

Scobie and Durand penned: “Neither William nor Harry made much of an effort to make themselves available.”In the photo, William and Kate’s children — Prince George and Princess Charlotte — sat on a bench next to Charles and Camilla while Kate held a baby Prince Louis behind them.

The former Duchess completed her look with black sunglasses, a ponytail and a poppy pin in honor of Remembrance Day in the UK and Veteran’s Day in the US.

The relationship between King Charles and his youngest son Prince Harry has been strained since he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back from their roles as senior royals in 2020. While he has in the past spoken about his father's role in his childhood with fondness, in recent years he has been more critical of the monarch for not being more involved during his childhood, particularly after the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997.

As King Charles celebrates his landmark 75th birthday today (November 14), he is marking the day just as you may expect by staying dedicated to his duties with official engagements. While there will surely be a moment in the days to come to relax and take stock with his family, there will be one noticeable absence. Even though Prince Harry remains in the US with Meghan Markle and their two children, it has been reported that he is expected to reach out to his father to send his best wishes on his birthday.

The relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry is reportedly at an all-time low.

King Charles III, who celebrates his 75th birthday Tuesday, has faced the daunting task of following in the footsteps of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, a beloved, globally-admired world figure for 70 years. Notwithstanding initial concerns and criticisms from various quarters, during his first year on the throne, Charles has demonstrated the ability to inspire his people, steadied the ship against a turbulent geopolitical situation, and served as an able ambassador for his nation abroad.

Thanks to her impressive work in the field of early years learning, the Princess of Wales is in the perfect position to practice what she preaches at home with her own children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. As well as this modern approach, Kate has her own family upbringing to look to which is undoubtedly a source of great strength as both she and Prince William juggle their official duties with raising their young family.

This week King Charles celebrates his milestone 75th birthday, surrounded by loved ones.

King Charles will be full of gratitude for more reasons than one as he celebrates his landmark 75th birthday on November 14. Among soaring popularity, good health and a very successful first year of his reign, the King will be counting his blessings for something - or should we say, someone - in his life who is truly the gift that keeps on giving. While he simply wouldn’t be the man he is today without the steadfast example set by his late mother or the support of his “darling wife” Queen Camilla, it’s no exaggeration to say that the Princess of Wales occupies a very significant place in the King’s heart.

The King is celebrating his landmark 75th birthday today (November 14) after a first busy full year as monarch. King Charles Philip Arthur George was born on November 14, 1948 at Buckingham Palace to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh - later Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

Despite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle choosing to quit being working royals in 2020, it doesn't necessarily mean their children Archie and Lilibet will grow up feeling the same disdain towards the royal way of life.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who now live in the US, were furious about media intrusion and frustrated that Buckingham Palace thwarted their development of the SussexRoyal brand. Harry remained a prince, and the pair kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, but they are no longer referred to as his/her royal highness (HRH).

Kate Middleton have been busy with their royal duties and raising their three kids. However, they’re also getting ready for the holiday season. This means lots of family.

Several members of the Royal Family have hugely important official styles that date back centuries - whether it is the Prince of Wales or the Duchess of Edinburgh. Looking ahead to the future, three of King Charles' grandchildren are expected to carry many different titles in their lifetimes, some of which hold huge historical and political importance.

The Prince of Wales and his father, King Charles, both showed signs of "inner tension" during the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, a leading body language expert has claimed.

Let’s be very clear, most senior members of the British monarchy are more than relieved by the news that the two former royals known as Harry and Meghan are simply not going to be returning for the birthday celebrations of his Majesty, The King. The simple fact is, this news was a problem, but more importantly, who needs victims at a family celebration? This is the dilemma that faces most of the senior members of the family: while His Majesty, the King, would very much like to reconcile with his son, this is a bigger issue.

The late Princess Diana was praised countless times for raising her two sons Prince William and Prince Harry as normally as their royal circumstances would allow.
