According to royal experts, Meghan’s birthday was ignored because she’s no longer a working royal. “Birthday wishes to a private citizen would be sent privately,” royal commentator Tom Sykes told Page Six. He added, “The King is a scrupulously polite man, and I’m quite certain he would wish to send his daughter-in-law his birthday wishes.” Okay, but you might recall that the royals wished Prince Harry happy birthday when he turned 40, and he’s also not a working royal... However, Hello Magazine reports that this is because of a 2022 rule Queen Elizabeth made stating that birthday wishes for non-working royals would only be given for milestone birthdays “ending in a 0.”
