These are the life lessons that will serve any man well – MASHAHER

Prince Harry has made it easy on the pressie front for wife Meghan Markle ahead of his 40th birthday on Sunday.

You can forget about an updated dream journal, babe, and cancel that meditation app subscription. I already have what I need.

“The best gift I’ve ever been given is, without doubt, my kids,” Harry told People when reflecting on his milestone birthday. “I enjoy watching them grow every single day and I love being their dad.”

Sweet, no? Meghan will reportedly still get to spoil Harry with a bash at their Montecito HQ – she might be out training the hummingbirds to do a formation fly-past right now while the vegan matcha and black sesame mousse cake is in the oven – and then he’s said to be taking off for a few days to hike with mates.

Of course, the Duke of Sussex is also apparently receiving a little something more material. He’ll inherit over $15 million from the late Queen Mother on his birthday, the second instalment in a tax-free leg-up from his great-grandmother, according to reports.

So apart from that thing where he’s estranged from his family, maybe Harry is that rare fella who has everything he wants at 40. A show-stopping wife, healthy kids, creative freedom over his career and personal choices. The flexibility to pursue passions without the scrutiny and obligations of being a senior royal. Financial independence. A frostbite-free todger.

And yet, there’s always room for a random matron from Australia to gift Haz something he might not know he needs: unsought advice.

Harry! Your 40s are a deceptive decade. You think you’ve locked down the major stuff: marriage, parenthood, hopefully finances. But the next 10 years are going to be like playing Mario Kart. You’ll be whipping along, loving yourself for being ahead, and then something will blow you up out of the blue. Someone will sideswipe you. There’ll be traps you don’t see coming. And you’ll be back on the start line, wondering what went wrong.
