Prince Harry is preparing to celebrate his 40th birthday (Image: Scotty's Little Soldiers) Prince Harry will be disheartened by the lack of contact he will receive on his 40th birthday, an expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex will turn 40 on September 15 and will likely be surrounded by his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie, five and Lilibet, three. However, he won't be with his father, King Charles or his brother, Prince William .

Since Harry stepped down from royal duties and moved to California with Meghan, 43, it is believed contact between him and other members of the royal family has been sparse. When Harry celebrated his 39th birthday last year, his big day went without social media tributes from the royal family. The question remains whether the royal family will publicly acknowledge Harry this time around.

Royal expert Lydia Alty has suggested Harry will be "offended" by the royal family's silence on his special day, espeically publicly. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
