In a few hours, Meghan Markle will say goodbye to the thirties to begin a new chapter, she who will celebrate her 40th birthday this Wednesday, August 4. Away from the Duchess of Sussex for this birthday, the members of the Crown are expected to be on the lookout and will certainly send her their wishes publicly, at the risk of seeing rumors of tension resurface.
Between Meghan Markle and the Crown, the atmosphere has rarely been at ease. But since the Sussexes decided to take off to escape the harassment they suffered within the monarchy, the ties are more strained than ever. While Meghan and Harry have been pouring their hearts out in the media, revealing their reasons for leaving the UK to live in Los Angeles, Kate and William have harbored a lot of resentment, as their first names were spoken by the Sussexes during their interview with Oprah Winfrey. Despite Meghan and Harry’s allegations in the American media, the crown members decided to keep their heads up, never mentioning the tensions publicly.
Meghan Markle, who will celebrate her 40th birthday this Wednesday, August 4, should therefore receive messages posted on social networks by the Cambridges but also by Charles and Camilla, eager to put on a brave face to preserve the monarchy. This is at least the theory of two experts of the Crown, who are convinced that the two Royal couples will not take the risk of letting the tensions tarnish the image of the family. “I think they will grit their teeth and post a public message. I think Charles, the queen, William and Kate don’t want to make things worse by returning the blows they’ve received, but privately they’re certainly upset about the turn of events. They don’t have to wish her a happy birthday but they don’t want to make it worse,” Phil Dampier told The Sun Online.
Congratulations on the birth of Lilibet Diana
Not rancorous for a penny, Kate Middleton and Prince William, as well as Charles and Camilla had put aside their differences to congratulate the Sussexes on the birth of Lilibet Diana last June. For royal expert Adam Helliker, the royal family will post “superficial” birthday messages for Meghan Markle’s 40th birthday, which is planning an incredible birthday party at her Montecito mansion, hosted by a party guru in Los Angeles.
