An Awkward Royal Birthday Wish?
Let's talk about birthdays, shall we? On Friday, June 21, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took to Instagram to wish Prince William a happy 37th birthday. Now, birthdays are usually joyous occasions, but this one came with a bit of a twist. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn’t make a big splash. Instead, they left a short, sweet comment on a tribute post shared by Kensington Palace—a simple “Happy Birthday to The Duke of Cambridge!”
Here's the thing: this message came just hours after the royal family announced that Harry and Meghan have officially parted ways from The Royal Foundation. That's the joint charity they shared with William and Kate Middleton. So, yeah, it was kind of an interesting timing for a birthday shoutout, don't you think?
What's Happening with The Royal Foundation?
Alright, let’s break this down. The royal family released a statement explaining the changes happening with The Royal Foundation. According to the statement, the foundation has reviewed its structure and decided how best to support the royal couples in their future charitable activities.

Here's the gist: later this year, The Royal Foundation will become the main charitable and philanthropic vehicle for William and Kate. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan will set up their own charitable foundation. But don’t worry, folks—they won’t be going completely separate ways. The couples will still collaborate on future projects, including the mental health program, Heads Together.
Is There a Rift Between the Royal Couples?
Now, you might be wondering if this split means there's tension between the two couples. The statement is quick to reassure everyone that’s not the case. It emphasizes that both couples are incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved together through The Royal Foundation. This isn't about falling out; it's more about evolving paths.
In fact, the idea of separating was something that had been on the table for a while. A royal source even mentioned back in late May that a review of The Royal Foundation was always on the cards. This change reflects the couples' growing individual pursuits, and it’s all part of their natural evolution.
So, here's hoping that all is well and that William's birthday was celebrated with love and laughter, despite these organizational changes.
