Prince Harry is hitting 40 - but his lonely birthday in California shows just how much has changed

PRINCE Harry will feel a "tinge of sadness" on his 40th birthday, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex is preparing up to celebrate his landmark birthday this weekend, and has recalled how he was "anxious" about turning 30, but is now "excited" about becoming 40.

Harry will celebrate his birthday with a family gathering at the Sussex's Montecito mansion before heading off on a "lads holiday".

Meghan Markle will not be joining him for "a weekend getaway with a few of his closest mates" to see in his milestone birthday, The Sun revealed earlier.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward was asked for her thoughts on Harry's upcoming 40th birthday by Matt Wilkinson on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show.
