Duke of Sussex Faces New Strain Over Palace’s Birthday Post Excluding Meghan
Harry, who is set to return to the UK on Monday, finds himself in a challenging situation following a recent gesture by King Charles and Prince William.
The Duke of Sussex, who celebrated his 40th birthday on September 15, received public birthday wishes from his father King Charles and brother Prince William on their social media accounts. The posts featured a message saying, "Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!" alongside a photo of Harry. However, the image was edited to remove Meghan, who was originally sitting beside Harry in the photo.
This move has reportedly left Harry in a difficult position as it appears to have hurt Meghan’s feelings. A source close to the Sussexes revealed, “The King and William’s post has created new difficulties for Harry, as he is determined not to let Meghan feel sidelined.”
The insider added that Harry has no intention of distancing himself from Meghan, despite the Royal Family’s apparent effort to reach out to him. The gesture, while seemingly an attempt to mend relations with Harry, has highlighted that Meghan is not a priority for the monarch at this time.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions, with some defending the Royal Family’s decision to focus solely on Harry for his birthday, while others believe the exclusion of Meghan sends a negative message. This development has added to the complexities Harry faces as he prepares to return to the UK amidst ongoing tensions.
