As Prince Harry approaches his milestone 40th birthday on September 15, he has much to reflect on.
In exclusive details, it’s revealed that Harry will celebrate his special day with a family and friends gathering at his Montecito, California home, where he lives with his wife, the Duchess, and their children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
The festivities will extend to a weekend retreat in the mountains with a few close friends.
With a packed schedule of work and travel ahead for the rest of the year, Harry has much to look forward to.
Entering his fifth decade, Harry is balancing his time between the Archewell Foundation, his various charities and patronages, and his young family.
His routine includes family bike rides and hikes with their dogs—Guy, Mamma Mia, and Pula—school runs, and dining out with a small circle of new friends.
At 40, Harry has embraced the freedom and independence he sought when stepping away from his royal duties, allowing him to chart his own course in life and career.
“He has longer to work things out now,” an old friend said. “He and Meghan are not under any time pressure – it’s all on their own terms.”
