The British Royal Family did not publicly acknowledge Meghan Markle’s 45th birthday on August 4, continuing a pattern in recent years. Royal commentator Lee Cohen told the Daily Express the Royal Family’s silence over the Meghan Markle birthday reflects fallout from her and Prince Harry’s 2020 step back from duties. He accused Markle of creating “endless drama” and harming ties with the monarchy. The birthday passed weeks after reports that Meghan visited England and Scotland with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The trip coincided with Prince Harry’s UK visit, during which he privately met King Charles and Queen Camilla. The last public royal birthday message came in 2021.
