King Charles' Birthday Silence Explained by Royal Protocol
Meghan Markle celebrated her 45th birthday without public birthday wishes from the royal family, including King Charles. This absence of public acknowledgment is not a personal snub but rather a result of a royal protocol established in 2022 by the late Queen. The rule dictates that public birthday wishes are only extended to non-working royals for milestone birthdays ending in zero. This protocol was applied to Prince Harry when he turned 40 in 2024. Despite the lack of public messages, it is possible that King Charles extended private birthday wishes to Meghan. Meghan celebrated her birthday in California with her family, sharing moments of joy on social media.
