Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have apparently missed a major chance to reconcile with estranged brother William and Kate Middleton.

Meghan, Harry, Kate, and Prince William, once dubbed the "fab four", are reportedly not on speaking terms amid their ongoing rift particularly following the California-based royal couple’s bombshell interviews and memoir Spare.

Kate and Prince William celebrated their elder son Prince George's 13th birthday and shared lovely photo and a video on social media on Wednesday, July 22.

Kensington Palace, on behalf of Kate and William shared the photo of George with a heartfelt message.

They said, “Happy 13th Birthday, George!”

While sharing the video hours after the birthday post, they said: “Thank you for all the birthday wishes for George today!”

King Charles, Queen Camilla and other senior royals also sent love to George on his milestone birthday.

Fans and friend also dropped lovely messages to mark George’s 13th birthday, with one saying “What a beautiful picture!! Prince George is a teenager now. Happy birthday to His Royal Highness! I wish him all the best and a wonderful new year! I love you, George.”

However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not publicly extend any message to George, who is set to join Eton within days.

As per sources, it was a major chance for Harry and his wife to put aside their differences and make peace with Kate and William by sending birthday greetings to Prince George.

A simple message by Harry and Meghan could have won the hearts of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
