Royal Family Feud: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Public Snub to King Charles
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made headlines once again as they publicly snubbed King Charles on his 75th birthday, despite reports of a private olive branch extended to the monarch.
The ongoing feud between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and senior members of the Royal Family continues to escalate, creating waves in the British monarchy.
The milestone birthday celebration of King Charles took place recently, with his youngest son, Prince Harry, reaching out to mark the occasion through a phone call.
However, what caught attention was the absence of a public tribute from the Sussexes to honor King Charles on his special day, highlighting the strained relations within the Royal Family.
Reports surfaced that Prince Harry's intention to wish his father a happy birthday was disclosed by the BBC early on Tuesday morning.
Despite this revelation, Meghan and Harry chose not to make a public display of affection towards the King, underscoring the deep-rooted tensions that persist between them and other members of the Royal Family.
A source close to the situation shared with The Sun that King Charles, although occupied with various responsibilities, remains cordial and holds love for his son, grandchildren, and family, indicating that he would have appreciated a gesture from Prince Harry and Meghan on his birthday.
In contrast, Prince William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, publicly honored the King with a heartfelt tribute on social media.
Prince William and Kate shared three photos of themselves alongside King Charles on Instagram, accompanied by a warm birthday message, expressing their best wishes for His Majesty on his 75th birthday.
Notably, the selection of images used in their post raised eyebrows, as they omitted any pictures featuring Prince Harry, hinting at the ongoing rift between the brothers.
The strained relationship between the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Harry was further highlighted by their absence of communication at King Charles's coronation in May 2023.
