Prince Harry to celebrate 40th birthday in 'male company' and without Meghan Markle

Juliette Morgan

Prince Harry is set to celebrate his 40th birthday "in the company of men" with a few of his closest friends, while his wife Meghan Markle will stay home with their children Archie and Lilibet, The Sun reports.

Western tabloids recall that Prince Harry has at one time found himself at the center of scandals while vacationing with friends. For example, in 2012 he spent time in Las Vegas, and photographs of him hugging a half-naked woman appeared in the media.

The media also report, citing sources, that Prince Harry is increasingly dissatisfied with life in the US and would like to return back to the UK and the royal family. It is specified that he had previously even consulted his former assistants on this matter, ignoring the "Hollywood" employees that Meghan Markle is selecting for him.

At the same time, his relationship with the royal family remains quite strained, especially with his brother Prince William, who believes that Harry cannot be trusted and is not going to reconcile with him.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also recently criticized for going on a royal-style tour of Colombia, and Netflix later released a teaser for their new project just hours after Kate Middleton announced she had completed chemotherapy, prompting the couple to be slammed online.
