UK Royal Family's Private Approach to Meghan Markle's Birthday
Meghan Markle celebrates her 45th birthday today, but the UK royal family is not expected to publicly acknowledge the occasion on their official social media channels. Despite past tensions between Markle and the royal family, the decision not to publicly wish her a happy birthday is attributed to protocol rather than personal rifts. According to royal commentator Tom Sykes, birthday wishes to private citizens are typically sent privately, and this practice applies to Markle following her and Prince Harry's decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in 2020.
