In a recent comment to BBC News, Harry stated, “I was nervous about 30, but I’m delighted about 40. Whatever my age, my objective is to keep showing up and doing good in the world.
For Harry’s 30th birthday, William and Kate planned an intimate dinner at Kensington Palace with royal cousins Princesses Beatrice, Eugenie, and Zara Tindall, as well as close friends.
Princess Kate, who was pregnant with her second child, Princess Charlotte, was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe form of morning sickness. Given that Kate, whom Harry refers to as ‘the sister I’ve never had’ in his biography Spare, was ill, Harry elected to postpone the party so she could attend.
At the time, a source told the Mirror that Harry was certain that the celebration should be postponed, despite the fact that 30 is a significant milestone. Kate had been heavily involved in organizing Harry’s party, and when she became unwell, he thought it was inappropriate to let the event go forward.
According to another Vanity Fair source, the party was eventually held.
