Meghan Markle’s 42nd birthday celebrations took an unexpected turn as the Royal Family appeared to snub her by not sending any public birthday wishes on social media. The Duchess of Sussex, now residing in California with Prince Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet, had been accustomed to receiving birthday messages on social media from the Royal Family in the past.
Normally, the official Royal Family social media accounts would post a heartfelt birthday message along with a photograph at precisely 9 am to celebrate a family member’s birthday. However, this year, there was total radio silence on Meghan’s birthday, leaving many to wonder if it was a deliberate and pointed move.
Andy Barr from 10Yetis commented on the situation, stating, “I am sure that there will have been communications behind the scenes to wish her a happy birthday, but the social media silence is the most British snub you could imagine.” He further added that the absence of an official public post raised eyebrows and might be seen as a powerful message in itself.
Experts in social media and communication weighed in, suggesting that the lack of public wishes might signify deeper underlying sentiments. While private communications may have taken place, the decision to withhold a public acknowledgment on social media was noted as significant, considering the couple’s controversial departure from working roles within the Royal Family in 2020 and their subsequent move to California.
The move sparked tensions and controversies within the Royal Family, leading some to speculate that the silence on Meghan Markle’s birthday might reflect lingering issues. The decision to not publicly acknowledge her birthday on social media may be seen as symbolic, as it signifies a change in the dynamics between Meghan, Harry, and the Royal Family.
Ultimately, the absence of an official birthday post on social media has led to discussions and analysis, with some interpreting it as a subtle expression of sentiments within the Royal Family. Despite the public snub, it is likely that private well-wishes and communications took place to celebrate Meghan Markle’s birthday.
