The birthday shoutouts come amid a period of strain for Prince Harry and the royal family, which stretches back to 2020 when Harry and his wife, Duchess Meghan, broke from tradition and stepped down from their roles as senior royals.
Since then, Prince Harry has pulled back the curtain on his complicated relationship with the House of Windsor through tell-all media appearances, including a Netflix documentary, his bombshell-filled 2023 memoir "Spare" and a series of candid TV interviews.

Earlier this year, Prince Harry visited King Charles III in London after the monarch was diagnosed with cancer in February. Harry told "Good Morning America" in a subsequent interview that he "jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could."
"I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane, go and see him, and spend any time with him – I'm grateful for that," Harry said at the time. "I've got other trips planned that will take me through the UK, or back to the UK, and so I'll stop in and see my family as much as I can."
