'Happy 45th birthday to friendless Markle': Meghan Markle celebrates as royals stay silent
The Duchess of Sussex shared photos of herself jumping into the water with balloons and a kitchen dancing video that angered followers, while no member of the royal family publicly wished her a happy birthday
On Tuesday, Meghan Markle celebrated her 45th birthday. To commemorate the milestone, the Duchess of Sussex shared two photos on her private Instagram account - one in black and white, the other in color. Both images showcased her joyous mood, with the caption "Thank you for the birthday love" and no option for followers to leave comments.
Hours later, Markle posted a video of herself dancing in the kitchen, with Prince Harry's voice heard in the background. The news was shared by Instagram account of HELLO! magazine, but the comments section remained silent, with some followers expressing disappointment and others offering their support. In contrast to the royal family's usual social media engagement, there was a notable absence of birthday wishes from members of the royal family.
The absence was particularly poignant given the recent family meeting between King Charles, Prince Harry, and Meghan, along with their children, Archie and Lilibet. According to a source close to the duchess, Markle returned to the United States after the visit feeling upset, stating that she felt humiliated having to stand aside while her husband and the royal household argued over accommodations for her family.
