... for the first time in three years.

Saw the birthday message this morning on Instagram, and later read that it was the first public birthday greeting to Harry in three years.

Could peace be on the horizon?

It might be the first step.  I hope relationships can be repaired before it's too late...

I agree.  Glad they did that.  Life is short, make the best of it.

It's just a PR move.  40 is a milestone birthday so they couldn't just ignore it.  It would look small and petty.  The problem with Harry is that he has absolutely shown that he cannot be trusted.  Nothing that is said or done within the RF would ever be private or safe with Harry.  Everything is for sale so if they were to welcome him back, he's capable of selling them out the next time he gets miffed about something.  And then there's Meghan.  They can't have Harry without Meghan and she'd be nothing but trouble.  I think that awful book is the problem.  If Harry had not written it, then they would have reconciled to some extent by now.  Obviously they needed and wanted the money but Harry just went to far.  They are like any other family.   You can't be family if the trust is gone

LOL "they are like any other family"!

I have no way of knowing why they chose to wish Harry a happy birthday.

Update:  A birthday greeting from the Prince and Princess of Wales account on Instagram just wished him a Happy 40th too.

My goodness...they are family. I would hope they'd wish him a happy birthday in more personal ways, too, beyond social media. I hope they did.

Well let's face it, somebody had to do it...

King Charles and Prince William cannot trust Harry as far as they could throw a grand piano. A civil, official “Happy Birthday” is all he deserves.
