Royal Family
Why this matters
This development underscores the continuing impact of Harry and Meghan's exit on royal family protocols and public communications.
The bigger picture
The decision not to publicly mark Meghan Markle’s 45th birthday reflects ongoing tensions and evolving dynamics within the British Royal Family following Harry and Meghan's departure from official duties. It highlights how the royal institution manages relationships with former senior members who have distanced themselves from traditional roles.
Need the context?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to California with their children. Since then, the royal family has limited public acknowledgments of personal milestones for the couple, including Meghan's recent 45th birthday.
