Prince Harry will be marking his 36th birthday away from his royal family members, except his wife Meghan Markle and son Archie.

His birthday celebration is said to be hosted by music producer David Foster. He is also said to have become “a father figure" or the Duke of Sussex.

The event, which will largely be “low-key,” will take place on Sept. 15 at the Foster residence.

Foster’s wife, Katherine McPhee, went to the same school as Meghan in California.
