Prince Harry’s Plans for His 40th Birthday Celebrations
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Share Rare Family Update During First Joint Interview in 3 Years
Prince Harry is entering a new decade with a new outlook.
The Duke of Sussex, who turns 40 on Sept. 15, shared some insight into his mindset as he approaches the milestone birthday.
“I was anxious about 30, I’m excited about 40,” Harry told BBC in a statement on Sept. 13. “Whatever the age, my mission is to continue showing up and doing good in the world.”
The British royal, who shares Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, with wife Meghan Markle, also revealed that he plans on spending his actual birthday with his family before going on a celebratory trip with some friends.
And the royal couldn’t help but gush about his children while reflecting on his upcoming birthday.
“Becoming a father of two incredibly kind and funny kids has given me a fresh perspective on life, as well as sharpening my focus in all my work,” Harry said. “Being a dad is one of life’s greatest joys and has only made me more driven and more committed to making this world a better place.”
