How Prince William and Kate Middleton's birthday post for Prince Harry differs to other royals'

Today (15 September) is a very special one in the Sussex household as it marks Prince Harry's 37th birthday – and of course the royal family, including the Queen, Kate Middleton, Prince William and Charles and Camilla, have all taken to social media send him public birthday well wishes.

As has become custom over the years whenever it's a family member's birthday, the royals have used their Instagram and Twitter accounts to share throwback photos and sweet greetings to celebrate the occasion.

The Queen's official Twitter account (@theroyalfamily) chose to celebrate Harry by posting a selection of images, with one photo featuring his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex too.

Prince Harry can also be seen carrying out public duties – in one image, he's high-fiving a young boy and in the other he appears to be in a classroom setting, looking happy and relaxed, as he listens to members of the public speak.

The Queen's birthday message was accompanied by the message: 'Wishing the Duke of Sussex a Happy Birthday today!' followed by a balloon emoji.

Prince Harry's father, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, also shared a selection of shots of Harry along with a similar message.

'Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very Happy Birthday today!' the tweet read.

One image chosen by Charles and Camilla features a major throwback of Harry as a young boy, along with his father, imprinting their hands at the same time into a block of concrete while on a tour of South Africa in 1997.

And of course, Prince Harry's older brother, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, also posted a birthday message – however, theirs differed slightly in comparison to those shared by the Queen and the Prince of Wales.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge chose to share just one image of Harry, along with the message, 'Happy Birthday Prince Harry! 🎈', rather than rifle through the archives for snaps of Harry working during his time as a serving senior member of the family.

We hope that however he's spending his day, Prince Harry has a great one!
