“ABSOLUTE NOT” – Princess Catherine, Prince William, King Charles and Royal Family Snub Meghan Markle’s 44th Birthday, Prince Harry’s Response Leaves the Palace Stunned

The royal family is no stranger to frosty relationships, but the latest chapter in the saga between the Sussexes and the rest of the Firm has left royal watchers stunned. As Meghan Markle celebrated her 44th birthday, one thing became glaringly obvious: there would be no public acknowledgement from the senior members of the royal family.

According to palace insiders, the decision was deliberate. King Charles, Prince William, and Princess Catherine reportedly agreed there would be “no official message” for Meghan this year. “It wasn’t discussed at length,” one source claimed. “The general sentiment was ‘absolute not’—there would be no Instagram post, no tweet, nothing. The relationship simply isn’t there anymore.”

This marks a sharp contrast from previous years when, despite tensions, polite birthday greetings were still extended from official royal accounts. The silence this year sent a strong, unspoken message: relations between the Sussexes and the senior royals remain deeply fractured.

But what truly shocked insiders was not the family’s snub — it was Prince Harry’s reaction.

Instead of responding with frustration or hurt, the Duke of Sussex reportedly told a close friend, “It’s their choice. I have mine. My focus is on Meghan, the kids, and the life we’ve built.” While the response seems measured on the surface, royal insiders claim the tone carried an unmistakable message: Harry has stopped expecting reconciliation and has mentally moved on.

“He wasn’t angry,” a source close to the Sussexes said. “He was… done. And in some ways, that might be more unsettling to the palace than any angry outburst.”

Observers believe Harry’s calm demeanor could signal a new phase in the royal rift. “When one side stops fighting for the relationship, it changes the entire dynamic,” one royal commentator noted. “The palace might find this silence harder to navigate than public criticism.”

Meghan, meanwhile, spent her birthday privately in California. Friends say she enjoyed a quiet day with her children and a small gathering in the evening. While no public acknowledgment came from the royal family, Meghan received warm wishes from close friends and allies, including high-profile supporters in the entertainment and philanthropy worlds.
