To mark Archie’s special day, Charles raised a toast to his grandson “wherever he was” and thanked the guests for making the day so successful.
The 74-year-old monarch was reportedly “genuinely quite disappointed” that Prince Harry didn’t stay for the gathering, but “breathed a sigh of relief” that he didn’t join them.
The estranged prince has not been on good terms with his family ever since taking a step back from his royal duties in 2022 and subsequently releasing his tell-all memoir, “Spare.”
