The Duke and Duchess Of Sussex’s relationship with King Charles III may be considered strained, but the doting grandfather continues to prove that he is all about love and peace.
During the former Prince of Wales’ historic coronation on May 6, the 74-year-old took a moment to celebrate his grandson Prince Archie, whose fourth birthday coincided with the coronation date.

Although the coronation ceremony marks the dawn of a new reign, the wounds of the past seem to be still playing. Many believe Prince Harry’s presence will help mend the broken bridge between the former militant and members of the royal family.
However, the ginger-haired lover left before he could make any significant changes. The 38-year-old was spotted leaving for the US within hours of her father’s coronation, a sad exit that the King was unable to avoid during a private ceremony where he paid tribute to the Sussex family – with a special tribute to his third grandchild.
The touching moment came after his Westminster Abbey coronation and his appearance on the iconic balcony of Buckingham Palace alongside Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family. An invitation to the meeting was reportedly sent to the Duke of Sussex, but he declined to return to California for his son’s birthday.
According to insiders, most members of the Royal Family are “heaving a sigh of relief” at Prince Harry’s absence. However, the King did not share the same sentiment as he appeared to be “really disappointed not to stay.”
Before the family began their feast, Prince William began the festivities by congratulating his father on his successful ascension to the British throne. In response, the 74-year-old thanked everyone who made the event an unforgettable experience.
The king raised a glass to his three grandchildren from William and Kate Middleton — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — who played a key role in their grandfather’s big day.
Not forgetting her other grandchildren, the former heir toasted “those who aren’t there” and wished her grandson Prince Archie a happy birthday “wherever he is.” The source described his tribute: “It was a beautiful moment.”

While Prince Harry’s early departure may have come as a shock to many, it has been revealed that the 38-year-old never planned to stay long for the ceremony. The father of two left for the airport shortly after the church service started at 11am
Aside from his desire to be there for his son’s birthday, the “Spare” author’s quick departure may have been influenced by his lack of invitations to the Buckingham Palace balcony with other prominent royals, including the King, Queen and his brother.

As the royal family celebrated Charles’ coronation, the Duchess of Sussex marked her son’s fourth birthday at their home in Montecito, California. Sticking to tradition, the former actress commemorated the occasion with an intimate party.
As for the big day, a source revealed the “Suits” alum’s plans, revealing it was a low-key affair with close friends and family.
“It’s going to be a low-key party at home,” the insider claims. “They will have friends around them and Meghan’s mother, Doria [Ragland]. Meghan will have support that weekend.”
The former Hollywood star’s decision to celebrate her son’s birthday instead of her father-in-law’s coronation may seem like a motherly move. However, a close friend of the 41-year-old man said it was to avoid criticism regarding his strained relationship with the royal family.

Last year, the public figure came under fire in the UK during Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. His media fury allegedly influenced his decision to skip Charles’ coronation ceremony.
“Meghan wanted to be there to support her father-in-law, but at the same time, the scrutiny she received outweighed the support,” the source claimed. “There will always be other parties challenging their reasoning, and who wants to put themselves in that position?”
