On Monday, King Charles III turned 74. It was his first birthday as king, and his family, friends, and fans were happy to see him.

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other senior royals have also said sweet things about the King on his special day, but it’s still not clear if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will say something nice for him or if they’ll stick to their plans for the near future.

The Prince and Princess of Wales tweeted this sweet picture of Britain’s new King: “Wishing a very happy birthday to His Majesty The King!”

But Charles’ younger son Harry, whose book seems to hurt his father’s reputation, doesn’t seem to have any nice things to say about the Monarch.
