However, the Duke of Sussex later overtook his niece at 10.04pm by a whopping 96 percentage points.
This followed his BBC interview and subsequent statement on Sussex.com where he reeled over the loss of his court case.
Harry, 40, lost his appeal against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the UK.
One royal watcher wrote on social media: "I find it disgusting that Prince Harry has stolen Princess Charlotte’s thunder. Today should have been all about her turning 10."

Another said: "PrinceHarry whines to the BBC on [checks notes] PrincessCharlotte's 10th birthday. That tracks."
A third commented: "Prince Harry claims he seeks reconciliation with his family, yet he couldn’t hold off on releasing a self-absorbed, entitled and delusional victimhood interview for even a day, choosing to air it on his niece Princess Charlotte’s birthday, showcasing his selfishness and utter lack of self-awareness."
Finally, someone said: "Just happens to do the pity play on Princess Charlotte's 10th birthday."
However, some fans came to the duke's defence.
Prince Harry indicated that current circumstances make it impossible for him to bring his family to the UK.BBCLATEST ROYAL NEWS:
