It is the second year in a row that the Royal Family have remained silent on Meghan's special day

The official social media accounts of the Royal Family and the Prince and Princess of Wales did not share any well wishes to commemorate Meghan Markle's big day.

The Duchess of Sussex celebrated her 42nd birthday on Friday but the Royal Family's X account didn't feature any celebratory messages for Meghan.

Last year William and Kate posted a photo of Meghan last year, wishing her a happy birthday.

Usually, only working members of the monarchy are recognised on royal social media accounts.

But, the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry stepped back as working royals in 2020 before moving to California.

The couple were spotted leaving a restaurant a few days before her birthday in the US state where they live with their two children Archie and Lilibet.

Harry previously revealed his chaotic relationship with the Royal Family in a Netflix special and his autobiography Spare.

However, he did attend his father's Coronation in May this year while Meghan remained in the US.

The Duchess chose to remain at their home in Montecito to celebrate their son Archie’s fourth birthday.

The Sussexes have also not been invited to an event to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Queen’s death.

Harry and Meghan have not been invited even though they are scheduled to be Europe for the Invictus Games at the same time.

The pair, who packed up for the US in 2020, are due to kick off the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany, 24 hours after the commemoration to the Queen.

Their trip to Germany in September will be their first joint appearance in Europe since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.

Buckingham Palace has not formally announced how the family will spend the anniversary of the late monarch’s death.
