King Charles has marked his 75th birthday, and the royal family is reportedly relieved that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not present for the occasion.
His Majesty reaches this milestone age today, on November 14th, and it is understood that Harry, Meghan, and their two children, who reside in Southern California, have not been invited to the intimate family gathering tonight.
Whispers of this so-called snub from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been met with a sigh of relief by some, according to royal reporter Neil Sean.
“Let’s be very clear, most senior members of the British monarchy are more than relieved by the news that the two former royals known as Harry and Meghan are simply not going to be returning for the birthday celebrations,” he told Fox News.
Sean further explained that Meghan’s previous statement about Harry losing his father had deeply affected King Charles, who has always been there for his youngest son.
The King felt that this public remark was the worst possible thing that could have been said about him as a father.
Five years ago, King Charles could not have foreseen how this historic birthday celebration would unfold.
However, reaching this age has made him realize, according to close sources, the challenges of life as a reigning monarch.
The King is expected to have a low-key celebration with his closest family and friends, excluding his youngest son, who recently published his explosive memoir, “Spare.”
This private affair is due to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis in the United Kingdom and around the world.
In lieu of gifts, the King has requested cards, flowers, and donations to his favorite charities, as he believes he already has everything he needs at 75 years old.
The decision to exclude Harry and Meghan from his birthday celebration was the right one, as the King wanted to avoid any further royal drama.
However, Meghan has not let royal events overshadow her own activities.
Just yesterday, she sent her mother, Doria Ragland, to attend an event that coincided with the King’s tea party.
Whenever important royal events take place, Meghan tends to make public appearances.
This time, Doria was photographed wearing a sleek power suit as she attended the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
She even took a selfie with American actress Victoria Rowell and Deanie Brewer, appearing like close friends.
This move seems to follow the pattern set by Meghan herself, where photos are taken with celebrities to later sell to the media.
Interestingly, these developments occurred just hours after King Charles kicked off his birthday celebrations by cutting a cake during a tea party at Highgrove.
Around 60 guests, including community champions from Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Somerset, joined the King for this festive occasion.
The rock choir serenaded him with birthday songs, congratulating him on this personal milestone.
In conclusion, despite the absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, King Charles celebrated his 75th birthday surrounded by loved ones and well-wishers.
The decision to exclude the couple was met with relief by many members of the royal family.
While Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, made a public appearance on the same day, the focus remained on the King’s tea party and the joyous atmosphere that accompanied it.
