It has been rumoured the Duke will then embark on a big birthday trip with close friends, with some speculating the group may head to a mountain retreat in Canada. The guest list could include the likes of actor Orlando Bloom, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, The Late Late Show host James Corden and long time friend Argentinian polo player Ignacio "Nacho" Figueras. Prince Harry provided a statement to the BBC ahead of his birthday, revealing he was excited about turning 40. "I was anxious about 30, I’m excited about 40," he said in a statement released by his spokesperson. "Whatever the age, my mission is to continue showing up and doing good in the world. "Becoming a father of two incredibly kind and funny kids has given me a fresh perspective on life, as well as sharpening my focus in all my work. "Being a dad is one of life’s greatest joys and has only made me more driven and more committed to making this world a better place." SOURCE: Sky news
