The Sweetest Birthday Message
The card’s contents were nothing short of heartwarming. Harry and Meghan wrote, “Dear Daphne, My wife and I send our warmest wishes to you on the occasion of your 99th birthday on Friday. We hope you have a wonderful celebration surrounded by family and friends and that you’ve managed to escape hospital. Congratulations on reaching this important and impressive milestone before your centenary year next year. Happy birthday, Daphne. Best wishes, Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
Daphne’s Reaction
When Daphne’s daughter Michelle Haywood heard the letter being read aloud, she couldn’t help but grab her mom's hand and exclaim, “Isn’t it beautiful?” Daphne, ever the humble soul, simply replied, “yeah.” Michelle is still in awe that her mom, who proudly wears her late husband’s military medals every time she sees Harry, received such a personal note from the prince. She explained, “She rang me up most excitedly to tell me that Prince Harry replied overnight and we all got goosebumps.” It’s moments like these that remind us why people adore the royal family so much.
Harry and Meghan’s Special Connection with Fans
During their most recent visit to Australia, Daphne had the opportunity to congratulate Meghan on her pregnancy. She told the expectant mother, “Congratulations, I think that’s marvelous,” with Harry standing right beside her. Meghan, always the gracious royal, replied, “Hopefully next time we see you, we’ll have a little one with us!” It’s clear that Daphne holds a special place in their hearts, and this thoughtful gesture only solidifies the bond between the couple and their fans.
