Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have ‘deliberately’ snubbed Princess of Wales Kate Middleton on her 44th birthday, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal expert Rob Shuter has claimed in his latest substack that Meghan and Harry didn’t wish Princess Kate a happy birthday.

He writes, citing the insiders, “the Sussexes didn’t lift a finger. No card, no text, no email — nothing. ‘Not a peep. It’s deliberate.’”

The palace source confided, “They’re making it clear they’re done. It’s a line in the sand.”

Kensington Palace marked the day with the final installment of Kate Middleton’s year‑long Mother Nature series.

Shot in serene early‑morning light in Berkshire, the video shows her walking alone, reflecting on fear, loss, and gratitude.

“Even in the coldest, darkest season, winter has a way of bringing us stillness, patience and quiet consideration… I find myself reflecting on how deeply grateful I am,” Kate says in the voiceover.

Kensington Palace shared the video with Kate Middleton’s personal message.

“The Mother Nature series has been a deeply personal, creative reflection on how nature has helped me heal. But it is also a story about the power of nature and creativity in collective healing.

“There is so much we can learn from mother nature, as we look to build a happier, healthier world. C.”

Meanwhile, there are reports, Meghan is planning to return to UK with Harry this year for Invictus Games event in July.
