Meghan Markle's birthday 'snub' from royals as Prince Harry 'makes fuss'

Meghan Markle hits a special milestone - today is her birthday. The former Suits star is celebrating turning 44 as she continues to develop her As Ever lifestyle brand, with a new wine launching this week. The last year has seen significant changes for Meghan, particularly since the start of 2025, with the debut of her new Instagram account, lifestyle brand, and her Netflix cookery show. Yet, one constant remains - Meghan and Prince Harry's ongoing estrangement from the Royal Family following their high-profile exit from the Firm. This comes amid reports that Harry will 'never be forgiven' by two senior royals despite hopes of reconciliation. Royal commentator Jennie Bond, while acknowledging Harry's desire to make his wife's birthday memorable, doubts the rest of the Royal Family will share in the sentiment. Speaking to the Mirror, the ex-BBC Royal correspondent said: "I definitely thought that being 44 was a bit of a nondescript birthday, not particularly worthy of a special celebration. But I'm sure that Harry will want to make a fuss of his wife on her special day.", reports the Mirror. "As far as I can see, he is still head over heels in love with Meghan and will probably organise a romantic dinner or perhaps a beach party with friends and lots of children to celebrate their happy family life in California. Maybe a sunrise yoga session would set the day up rather nicely!". "I don't think Meghan should hold her breath for birthday messages from the Royal family, though it may well be that Princess Eugenie - and possibly Beatrice- will send a present or a card."

Nevertheless, her lifestyle brand, As Ever, maintains its presence on the platform, announcing last week that she will be releasing another batch of her rosé wine. Jennie remarked: "I think Meghan deserves to be pretty happy with how this year has gone so far. Whatever she does or says gets slammed in the media, but she has built up a substantial social media following in very little time, the products that she endorses or sells seem to do exceptionally well, and her TV and podcast shows - although clearly not ground breaking – – are perfectly watchable, however much her critics like to pan them." Regarding her Instagram presence, Meghan previously explained to Emma Grede during a podcast conversation: "I think if part of it is just being able to authentically share in real time the things that are happening that I think someone might be able to last with, or enjoy or be inspired by." She expressed her desire to share content that wasn't "not overproduced". Discussing a twerking clip she posted in June, which featured her dancing to the Baby Mama song whilst attempting to induce labour with Lili, Meghan characterised it as a glimpse into her "real, authentic fun life". The Duchess expressed how freeing it feels to return to social media, where she can now share content on her own terms. Meghan remarked, "That wasn't yesterday. That was four years ago, so it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still whole life, a real, authentic, fun life that's happening behind the scenes," and added, "I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms."
