Prince Harry is planning on calling his father, King Charles III, on Tuesday to wish him a happy 75th birthday despite their estrangement.
The Duke of Sussex will give the reigning monarch a ring to celebrate the milestone, well-placed sources told the BBC.
The outlet noted that the call could be seen as an olive branch after Harry was snubbed from Charles’ birthday plans.
Earlier this month, reports surfaced that the prince, 39, would be skipping out on his dad’s birthday festivities. However, Harry said he was never invited in the first place.
“In response to UK media headlines, there has been no contact regarding an invitation to His Majesty’s upcoming birthday,” Harry’s spokesperson told the Messenger.
“It is disappointing the Sunday Times has misreported this story.”
Another royal source told the website that Buckingham Palace “never reached out” to Harry.
Charles will celebrate the big 7-5 by hosting a reception for NHS nurses and midwives, and there will also be ceremonial gun salutes in his honor.
The king also used his birthday to launch a new foundation, Coronation Food Project.
“The project is a groundbreaking initiative to help reduce food waste and support those living in food insecurity,” the royal family announced in an Instagram statement Tuesday.
While Harry won’t be traveling across the pond for Charles’ big day, the royal family chose to include the “Spare” author in a birthday tribute shared on social media.
A sweet video honoring the sovereign featured throwback photos of Charles with Harry as well as with his other son, Prince William.
