After the Queen’s demise, the ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Palace members have clearly reflected upon the strained relations between Prince Harry and King Charles. Owing to Harry’s tell-all memoir called Spare and various rumors about an upcoming documentary, reports say King Charles now feels betrayed. Amidst all controversies comes the latest snub at the King by the Sussexes, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not wish Charles on his birthday.

This was yet another tragic blow to the King after their Christmas snub. As claimed by reports, the Duke and the Duchess have deliberately distanced themselves from the monarchy. After Charles posed a condition before the couple in order to attend his coronation, Harry and Meghan have given a clear indication of their future reply. They previously turned down the King’s invitation for Christmas.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not wish the King on his birthday

As per recent reports, The News claims that the couple has deliberately ignored the King’s birthday without wishing him on any of their social media handles. Their Archewell website, where they upload all necessary information, also remained blank the previous day. 

The Monarch, King Charles III, had his 74th birthday on the 14 of November, the day before yesterday. Celebrating the same, the Prince and Princess of Wales took to their Twitter handles and uploaded a post. It was a video segment of the Band of the Household Cavalry, wishing the king a happy birthday.

The Duke and the Duchess of Sussex were not seen posted anywhere for the special occasion. However, it is still unclear if the sidelined couple wished for the King in person. Nevertheless, not only the Sussexes but also Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie were among them. They too did not wish the King anywhere on the internet.

Reports also had it amidst such loose ends; the Monarch might also strip a couple of their titles. However, some later revelations proved the fact that neither King Charles nor anyone else from the Royal Family is entitled to snatch away the Duke and Duchess titles from Meghan and Harry.
