Prince Harry is looking forward to turning 40, a milestone that he will reach this weekend. Unlike when he turned 30, he is feeling excited rather than anxious. To mark the occasion, the Duke of Sussex will be taking a trip with a few close friends, but he will also spend some time with his family in California.
In a statement released before his birthday, Harry emphasized the important role that his children, Archie and Lilibet, play in his life. He described them as incredibly kind and funny, and they have given him a fresh perspective on life and have motivated him to be more focused in his work. Being a father has been one of the greatest joys for Harry, and it has only strengthened his drive to make the world a better place.
Reflecting on the past ten years, Harry acknowledged that it has been a turbulent decade, but he is determined to continue making a positive impact in the world, regardless of his age. He also spoke about his excitement for the next ten years and his mission to keep showing up and doing good.
Comparing his upcoming celebration to his 30th birthday, it is clear that there will be a stark contrast. Back then, after returning from a tour in Afghanistan, Harry was struggling with the aftermath of war and enjoying a wild weekend in Las Vegas. But now, he has a loving wife, Meghan, and two beautiful children, and he has also founded the Invictus Games, which turns 10 this year.
The Invictus Games, which supports injured members of the armed forces, holds a special place in Harry's heart. His dedication to the cause is evident, and he describes it as his first child. Even the outgoing chief, Dominic Reid, recognizes how deeply it speaks to the soldier in Harry.
During Harry's 30th birthday, his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate threw him a lavish party at Chatham House. However, things have changed since then, and the two brothers have been involved in a bitter feud. This has led to their estrangement, and Harry and Meghan have stepped back from their roles as senior royals and moved to California.
Despite the challenges and changes in the past decade, Harry is approaching his 40s with a more optimistic mindset. He has come a long way since his 30th birthday, and he is looking forward to what the next ten years have in store for him. In his closing statement to the BBC, he simply said, "Bring on the next decade."
