Meghan Markle Celebrates 42nd Birthday, Royal Family Didn’t Publicly Wish Her HBD

Meghan Markle turned 42 years old on Friday, without a word from the Royal family.

The Duchess of Sussex celebrated her special day with friends by going to see the hit film, “Barbie,” at a movie theater in Santa Barbara, California, TMZ reported. Markle’s husband, Prince Harry, didn’t go.

Buckingham Palace and royal members King Charles, Prince William, and Prince Kate didn’t publicly wish the Duchess a happy birthday. Something an inside source told TMZ isn’t uncommon.

Apparently, they don’t mark every birthday for every member of the Royal Family. But they tend to for working Royals, which isn’t Meghan or Harry at the moment.

It’s possible they wished her a happy birthday privately. But it’s also possible they didn’t since there’s been some conflict between them in the past.

Last year for Markle’s birthday, her royal brother and sister-in-law tweeted a photo of her with a caption that read, “Wishing a happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!”
