Prince Harry previously revealed how he felt about approaching his 40s amid the intensified feud with the Royal Family. The royal, who was born on September 15, 1984, is set to celebrate his 41st birthday tomorrow.
In a statement released ahead of his 40th birthday last September, Harry said that he was “excited” to welcome in the new decade. Harry also said: “Whatever the age, my mission is to continue showing up and doing good in the world.”
Harry also used the statement to reflect on one of the most important areas of his life so far, fatherhood. He reflected: “Being a dad is one of life’s greatest joys and has only made me more driven and more committed to making this world a better place.”
The statement, released by the BBC, also ended in a powerful 5-word message, which read: “Bring on the next decade.”
Earlier this week, Harry paid a visit to the UK to carry out a series of charitable engagements, such as appearing at this year’s WellChild Awards on September 8.
During the four-day visit, the former working royal made time to meet with King Charles on Wednesday.
Although Harry met with the King this week, the visit didn’t see him visit Prince William and Princess Kate.
After travelling out of the UK on Thursday afternoon, Harry made a surprise visit to Ukraine.
Harry declared he will do “everything possible” to help thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and service personnel injured in the three-year war with Russia.
Harry told The Guardian that he was invited by Olga Rudnieva, the boss of the Superhumans Trauma Centre in Lviv.
