Meghan Markle rang in her birthday this week, and the royal family did not publicly acknowledge the occasion. The Duchess of Sussex’s “endless drama” is reportedly the reason the Royal Family gave no tribute for her 45th. Relations have remained strained since Prince Harry and Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
Royal commentator blames ‘toxic’ Meghan Markle for Royal Family birthday snub
A royal commentator has noted the British Royal Family did not acknowledge Meghan Markle’s birthday. The Duchess of Sussex celebrated her 45th on August 4. Yet the family once again skipped a public birthday tribute, as they did last year. Following this, the royal analyst has weighed in on the real reason behind the Firm’s silence on Tuesday.
Speaking to the Daily Express, Lee Cohen, a US columnist and commentator on royalty and foreign affairs, said, “Why on Earth would anyone send birthday wishes to a toxic, self-obsessed in-law who spent her brief tenure publicly attacking the monarchy and family members?” The expert noted that Markle “brought endless drama, grievance and attention-seeking to an institution built on duty, discretion and service, casting a shadow over the final years of the beloved late Queen.”
Cohen further added, “Rather than embracing the privilege she was given, she chose profit and publicity over loyalty, and in doing so incinerated every bridge behind her. Another chance? The only thing she deserves is permanent exile from the family she insulted.”

The Royal Family’s silence followed shortly after Markle’s low-key visit to the UK a few weeks earlier. The Duchess of Sussex spent time in England and Scotland with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The trip aligned with Prince Harry’s five-day visit to the UK, which included a private meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The British Royal Family last marked the “Suits” alum’s birthday publicly in 2021 when she turned 40. That was more than a year after she and Prince Harry left their roles as senior working members of the Royal Family. Amid ongoing distance, the non-working royals are reportedly seeking ways to mend fences with the Royal Family.
