Though the rift between Princes William and Harry is reportedly nowhere near resolved, William and Kate still shared a sweet photo on social media to mark Harry's 36th birthday. The Cambridges posted a snap of Harry absolutely destroying them both in a race, with the caption, "Wishing a very happy birthday to Prince Harry today!" Some commenters did point out, however, that Meghan Markle is notably absent from the photo, which could be interpreted as a snub.
