Meghan Markle’s 45th Birthday Passes Without Public Royal Birthday Posts

Meghan Markle’s 45th birthday went publicly unacknowledged by the royal family, as she is no longer a working royal and official birthday wishes are reserved for working royals. Experts say any wishes are likely to come privately, possibly from King Charles III via palace staff, while Prince William and Kate are unlikely to issue public posts. Meghan celebrated with Instagram pool photos, and the couple have been gradually mending relations with Charles after stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to California.

Princess Anne's Thoughts on the Future of the Monarchy

Princess Anne disagrees with the idea of a "slimmed-down" monarchy and says she's not sure what else they can do. Her comments come after reports that her brother, King Charles III, once considered reducing the number of working royals due to financial concerns. Despite losing several members in recent years, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quitting their duties, and Prince Andrew stepping back from public appearances, Anne believes her brother is committed to his own level of service and will remain true to it. Charles will be coronated on Saturday with his wife, Queen Camilla.
