Prince William has stepped out for the first time since sending a message from his social media account wishing the Duke of Sussex a happy birthday. The Prince of Wales has visited Aberdeen today to meet with essential workers from across the homelessness sector in the local area and representatives from the Homewards Aberdeen Coalition.

Amid speculation that Meghan Markle had been cropped out of the photo King Charles and Prince William used to send well-wishes for Prince Harry's 40th birthday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that was not the case.

Meghan Markle was cropped out of the photo shared by the royal family to celebrate Prince Harry’s 40th birthday. The picture of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was taken at DogPatch during their overseas trip to Dublin, Ireland in 2018 while they were still working royals.
