Prince Harry ‘set to go off on “lads’ holiday” to have a good time birthday
Prince Harry is set to head off on a holiday with his ‘closest mates’ to celebrate his 40th birthday while Meghan stays at home, it is understood.
The Duke of Sussex will reportedly go on the getaway after a birthday party at his £11million California home in Montecito with his family.
Harry will ‘enjoy a weekend getaway with a few of his closest mates’, according to a report by The Sun.
Meanwhile, Meghan will stay in California with the couple’s two children, five-year-old Archie and Lilibet, three.
It comes ten years after Harry celebrated his 30th birthday with his brother Prince William and Princess Catherine, alongside other friends in the UK.
Friends of the Prince recently said he has grown increasingly unhappy with his life in the US.
Speaking to The Times last month, a friend claimed they are among the few who get ‘the odd WhatsApp from him’, adding: ‘He’s an angry boy. Things haven’t turned out how he wanted.’

People within Harry’s inner circle have claimed he seems to enjoy trips back to the UK alone, while his wife Meghan prefers not to enter the country.
Harry revealed on Wednesday that his two children are the ‘best gift’ he has ever received ahead of his 40th birthday.
Ahead of the milestone this Sunday, the Duke of Sussex emailed People magazine to reveal the joy he receives from his son and daughter.
Harry wrote in the email: ‘The best gift I’ve ever been given is, without a doubt, my kids. I enjoy watching them grow every single day, and I love being their dad.’
People – which is known to be close to the Sussexes – also reported that Harry was now ‘focused on enjoying life’ with his family ‘after years of self-reflection’.
In addition, the publication cited his ongoing work through Archewell Foundation projects and the upcoming Netflix documentary Polo, due out in December.
