The future king turned 37 on June 21.
Instead of posting a tribute on their own Instagram page, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wrote in the comments section of Kensington Palace’s Instagram which featured a special message from the Duke of Cambridge.

“Happy Birthday to The Duke of Cambridge!” said Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's message. This comes one day after it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have formally split from Prince William and Kate Middleton's charity, The Royal Foundation, in order to start their own.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will establish their own new charitable foundation with transitional operating support from The Royal Foundation.”
