Prince William has made an interesting appearance lately, especially after wishing his brother, Prince Harry, a happy birthday on social media.

Today, the Prince of Wales visited Aberdeen to meet with representatives from Homewards Aberdeen Coalition and essential workers in the local homeless sector.

This visit ties into a five-year program initiated by William and Catherine, aimed at demonstrating that ending homelessness is achievable. One of William’s first stops today was Asylum Scotland, where he met staff and those they have helped.

On a different note, he received public birthday wishes for Prince Harry from the royal family’s social media accounts. The official royal account posted a cheerful message wishing the Duke of Sussex a happy 40th birthday, which was later echoed by the Prince and Princess of Wales’ account. Notably, however, neither William nor Catherine’s initials appeared at the end of their message, suggesting that the post may not have come directly from them, but rather from their team.

This comes after a period of strained relations between the brothers. Their last interaction at their uncle’s funeral was marked by tension, and it’s clear that Harry’s relationship with the royal family has been complicated since he stepped back as a working royal and moved to California in 2020. Given the backdrop of Harry’s interviews and his memoir, *Spare*, many observers were left wondering about the implications of William’s birthday message.

While some hoped this could signal a thaw in their relationship, others speculated it was simply a royal protocol following the late Queen Elizabeth II’s directive that non-working royals’ birthdays should be acknowledged on social media if they end in a zero. King Charles III also shared a birthday message for Harry, reinforcing this sentiment.

As the dynamics within the royal family continue to evolve, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the brothers. Thanks for tuning in!
