The Duchess of Sussex has not seen any senior members of the Royal Family since September 2022

Meghan Markle has been left fuming by the Royal Family's latest move to push her out, according to a source.

Prince Harry turned 40 on Sunday, September 15 and he received public birthday wishes from King Charles's Royal Family account and Kate and William's account on X, formerly known as Twitter.


The Royal Family account posted at 8:28am on Sunday morning: "Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!"

The post was accompanied by an image of Prince Harry smiling.

The image used by the Royal Family originally showed Harry's wife Meghan sitting next to the Duke of Sussex but she has been cropped out of the picture by the photographer who took the snap.

This may have been an olive branch to Harry from his father who has shown willingness in the past to reconcile with his youngest son.

Equally, it could indicate Meghan Markle is not in the monarch's immediate thoughts following her high-profile public swipes at the Firm over the last four years.

Just over two hours after the Royal Family message, a similar one was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales's account which said: "Wishing a Happy 40th Birthday to The Duke of Sussex!".

Prince William and Princess Kate are not on speaking terms with the Duke of Sussex.

However, it is unlikely that they were not consulted before a message was shared on their account by one of their team.

The fact the Royal Family used an image of just Prince Harry rather than one with him next to Meghan, has left his wife fuming, a source has claimed.

The insider told Heat: "She’s happy for Harry because she knows how much this means to him, but she’s understandably upset, too.

"She thinks it could be sending the message that it’s Harry they’re ready to forgive."

"It seems obvious they’d take him back in a heartbeat and, as usual, Meghan’s the one in the wrong.

"Picking an image without her in it felt symbolic and like a snub – whether intended or not – and by all accounts, she’s fuming about it.

"She refuses to be pushed out like this."
