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.

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.
