After weeks of hard work organising the Invictus Games, Prince Harry finally got to celebrate his 30th birthday last night with a black tie event at Clarence House. The royal has been too busy making sure his pet project went off without a hitch in recent weeks to properly mark the milestone date. But he enjoyed a party befitting a prince at the royal residence opposite Buckingham Palace last night - with a special performance from singer Ellie Goulding. His brother Prince William joined the celebration but Harry's pregnant sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, who has been suffering from severe ante-natal sickness, had to stay away.
