Meghan Markle celebrated her 42nd birthday on Friday — but received no well wishes from the royal family on social media.
Page Six revealed that the Duchess of Sussex celebrated her special day by going to see the “Barbie” movie with some friends, sans husband Prince Harry.
And while Meghan received birthday wishes from her friends and fans on social media, Harry’s family noticeably opted to remain tight-lipped on Aug 4.
For her 41st birthday last year, the royals, including Prince William and Princess Kate, as well as King Charles and Queen Camilla, all publicly shared birthday messages for Meghan on social media.
“Wishing a happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!” read a tweet from the official account for the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2022 alongside a snap of the mom of two.
Meanwhile, The Clarence House account — an account that was used for Charles and Camilla prior to the death of Queen Elizabeth II — tweeted out the same picture of Meghan with a birthday message.
They did not do the same this year.
