However, this time around, they chose to remain conspicuously silent. According to Royal aides, they now only mark the birthdays of working Royals on social media. But hold on a second, wasn't Meghan a working Royal not too long ago? What a conveniently altered set of rules.
Let's not overlook how, just last year, the entire royal family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, publicly extended birthday greetings to Meghan, complete with messages and photos on social media. Yet, this year, it appears as if she's been erased from their collective radar. The glaring inconsistencies in their interactions reveal a perplexing dynamic of strained relations and double standards.
However, it's not just Meghan who faced this cold treatment. Even her precious grandchildren, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, had their birthdays pass by without any acknowledgment from the Royals. No tweet, no Instagram post. Surely, a simple gesture could have been spared.
But there's more to the story. Meghan reportedly celebrated her birthday by watching a Barbie movie with her friends. A Barbie movie? It's an odd choice that might reflect her continuing hopes for royal attention and affection. Meanwhile, Harry's tell-all memoir and the explosive Netflix documentary series that exposed royal secrets have likely further strained their already tenuous relationship.
While Meghan and Harry did choose to step back from their royal duties, the chilly silence surrounding her birthday speaks volumes about the current state of their connections with the family. Her once-fairy-tale bond with the royals has transformed into something far less enchanting. The implication is clear: the royal family has little interest in celebrating alongside her.
