(Amy Katz\/ZUMA Press\/Cover Images)<\/p>\n<p>Having worked for King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House for seven years, he explained: \u201cHe normally works on his birthday anyway. The King doesn\u2019t like fuss. He always used to say he didn\u2019t want fuss for his birthdays. It\u2019s just another year for him. Even if Harry did suggest coming back to celebrate when relations were better, the King would probably tell him not to. Not for any big reason, but just because he doesn\u2019t want people to make a fuss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As such, AceOdds placed the odds of Harry making the journey back to the UK at just 5\/1 (17%), and the chance of him instead staying away in the US at 1\/4 (83%).<\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/royal-insider.com\/2025\/10\/29\/prince-harry-become-us-citizen-plans-podcast-hasan-minhaj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">currently lives in Montecito<\/a> with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.<\/p>\n<p>Why does King Charles have two birthdays?<\/p>\n<p>It has been a long-standing tradition for British monarchs to<a href=\"https:\/\/royal-insider.com\/2025\/05\/29\/king-charles-june-two-birthdays-trooping-the-colour-monarch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> celebrate two birthdays every year<\/a>, something King Charles\u00a0kept when he ascended to the throne after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n<p>November 14 is King Charles\u2019 actual birthday, the day he was born, in 1948.
