Royal family fans 'beyond belief' as Prince William and Kate Middleton wish Harry on his 40th birthday
LONDON, UK: Fans of the UK royal family have expressed frustration after King Charles, Prince William, and his wife Kate Middleton, wished Prince Harry on his birthday publicly.
The royals have reportedly skipped birthday wishes for the Sussexes since 2021 after they gave an explosive interview to Oprah Winfrey against the firm following their exit from the UK.
However, this year was different as on September 15, Harry turned 40 and his father wished him on social media, as reported by The Sun.
Royal family did not wish Meghan Markle on her birthday
King Charles posted a photo of his second son, seemingly cropping Meghan Markle as the original July 2018 snap taken in Dublin included her, writing, βWishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!β

The Prince and Princess of Wales re-shared the same photo of the father-of-two and captioned it, βWishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!β
The famous family, however, skipped wishing Meghan Markle on her birthday in August.

βA hateful man whoβs treated his family abominably. We will never forgive how he treated Prince Philip and the Late Queen in their final weeks,β another user commented.

I respect your sending birthday wishes, but I couldn't have done it. I still stand by my opinion: you could have done it personally. Try to read the room; it creates a division of precisely what the Sussex has done now for years.

Iβm sorry but I donβt agree with this . Harry did not wish Prince William a happy 40th birthday. He was too busy preparing his horrendous Netflix lie fest .

βIβm sorry but I donβt agree with this. Harry did not wish Prince William a happy 40th birthday. He was too busy preparing his horrendous Netflix lie fest. Harry has not said one word while his supporters the Sussex squad have been harassing, bullying, lying about, and denigrating Catherine as she was dealing with cancer, in fact, they included William and the children. If he said please stop most would have stopped. Instead, he just kept on it. Everyone is blaming Meghan .. yes sheβs a terrible person but sheβs just an opportunist .. it is Harry who has been denigrating his own family and abusing his own frail & dying elderly grandparents. His behavior has been unforgivable,β a lengthy tweet read.
