Amidst the ongoing tensions within the British Royal Family, a glimmer of reconciliation has emerged regarding Meghan Markle’s upcoming birthday. According to a former royal butler, King Charles and Camilla are set to host a private birthday party for the Duchess of Sussex, who will turn 43 on August 4th. This gesture comes after the Royal Family did not publicly acknowledge Meghan’s 42nd birthday in 2023, fueling speculation about the state of their relationship.
Former Royal Butler Grant Harrold has shared his insights with OK! Magazine, suggesting that Prince Harry will ensure Meghan’s birthday is celebrated. He believes that King Charles and Queen Camilla will likely extend birthday wishes to Meghan, whether through private messages or in person. Harrold’s prediction indicates a potential continuation of tradition, despite the growing rift between the two families.
For years, King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton sent birthday greetings to Meghan on their social media platforms, often including a photo of her. The absence of such messages in 2023 fuelled rumors of a strained relationship, raising questions about whether the Royal Family had simply missed her birthday or chosen to celebrate privately.
Regarding a potential birthday gift, Harrold acknowledges the tense situation and suggests that a gift might be less likely. However, he speculates that if a gift is exchanged, it could be a piece of jewellery or an heirloom from the royal collection. “I can imagine it would be a piece of jewellery or something from the royal collection, possibly a hand-me-down from the late Queen,” he remarked.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Prince Harry’s attempts to reach King Charles through phone calls have been met with silence. This ongoing communication breakdown stems from the ongoing legal battle in the UK concerning the Sussexes’ security and media invasion. According to PEOPLE magazine, Meghan has urged Harry to let go of the disputes and the treatment she received earlier. A former employee of the Sussexes shared, “She wants him to be free of all of this, but she also knows that because of everything he’s been through and his love for [her and their children, he can’t.”
The news of King Charles hosting a private birthday party for Meghan provides a glimmer of hope amidst the ongoing family tensions. While the future of the Sussexes’ relationship with the Royal Family remains uncertain, this gesture suggests that a certain level of communication and respect persists, at least on a personal level.
