No Birthday Wishes For Meghan Markle, Reportedly From The Royal Family!
It seems that the Royal Family has reportedly decided not to offer any public tributes to Meghan Markle on her 42nd birthday on August 4, 2023, as the royal family and the Sussex couple seem unable to hold aside their spat for the time being. According to INDEPENDENT, the official Twitter (now rebranded as X) accounts for the royal family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and King Charles and Queen Camilla, publicly wished Meghan Markle a happy birthday last year. However, the duchess has yet to be wished a happy birthday on any official Twitter(X) account, whether for the King or Prince William.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’ Twitter(X) account @KensingtonRoyal shared a picture of Meghan Markle wearing a white coat and matching hat on her 41st birthday last year, wishing her a happy birthday by tweeting, “Wishing a happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!”
The royal family has wished Meghan Markle a happy birthday yearly since she and her husband, Prince Harry, stepped down from royal duties in 2020. This time, however, it has not been made public if it has occurred. Also, according to reports, on Prince Archie’s fourth birthday, which coincided with King Charles’ coronation, he did not receive any birthday wishes.
Since the Sussex couple moved to Los Angeles in 2020 and stepped away from royal duties, tensions have steadily worsened. Now, amid the royal feud, reports are emerging that the Duke and the Duchess will not be present at the royal family gathering marking one year after Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
