Price Harry has grown into a very thoughtful 30-year-old indeed.
Prince Charles once revealed that as a child, Prince Harry was “very, very naughty”. And as a teenager, he continued to be very naughty indeed.
At Prince Charles’ 50th, a 14-year old Harry was said to have stripped naked and ran around in front of guests. He has had a fight with the paparazzi, been caught smoking marijuana and caused public outrage when he dressed up as a Nazi.
But today, on Prince Harry’s 30th birthday, the once unruly youngster has done something beautiful, and it’s for his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. He contacted guests and cancelled his milestone birthday celebrations as he felt it was “inappropriate” to carry on with the festivities in light of Kate’s severe morning sickness.
“Harry was in no doubt that the party should be postponed, even though 30 is an important milestone,” a source told The Mirror.
Harry had invited a close group of friends to an intimate dinner at Kate and Prince William’s recently refurbished apartment in Kensington Palace. “Kate had been very involved in organising Harry’s party, and once she fell ill he felt it wrong to let the event go ahead,” the source added.
As for presents for his 30th, Price Harry will now receive an $11.7 million inheritance left to him by his late-mother, Princess Diana, like his brother, Prince William. Yet Head of Financial Planning at Hargreaves Lansdown, Danny Cox, says the amount could have doubled to $23.4 million depending on how it was invested.
William and Harry will also receive Diana’s dresses, including her wedding gown, as well her tiaras, jewels and family mementos as part of their inheritance. The heirlooms were being looked after by Diana’s brother Earl Spencer, who said they would be returned his nephews upon them both turning 30.
