As Prince Harry marked his significant 40th birthday, the long-standing rift between him and the royal family showed no signs of healing.

Despite the couple’s attempts at reconciliation, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex received nothing but a frosty response from their relatives.

Royal experts suggest that the birthday messages shared by King Charles and Prince William on social media were merely formalities, lacking any genuine warmth.

Kinsey Schofield, the host of the To Die For Daily podcast, emphasized that Harry and Meghan are far from being welcomed back into the royal fold.

In fact, she argued that if Prince William had his way, they might not be allowed back at all.

The tension between the brothers remains palpable, with insiders revealing that Harry’s efforts to reconnect with both William and their father have largely gone unanswered.

A close friend of Harry disclosed that his attempts to reach out, even concerning King Charles’s health, have been met with silence.

It seems that despite his best intentions, the lines of communication have been effectively severed.

The royal family’s decision to acknowledge Harry’s birthday only during milestone years is viewed as a strategic choice, aimed at sidestepping the chaos that often surrounds the Sussexes.

Schofield elaborated that this new protocol aims to prevent the annual drama associated with events like “Megxit” or the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

By limiting their public recognition of non-working royals to significant birthdays, the family hopes to maintain a semblance of peace amidst ongoing tensions.

Recent reports indicate that the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family is anything but amicable.

Many within the firm reportedly feel that reconciliation is not something they are actively seeking.

Health concerns within the family further complicate matters, as there is a prevailing sense of mistrust towards Harry and Meghan.

Meanwhile, the couple has been busy carving out a new life for themselves in California.

However, their journey has not been without its challenges.

An unnamed source recently described Meghan as a “dictator in high heels,” shedding light on the complexities of their relationship dynamic.

Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and sharing their experiences through various tell-all interviews, the divide between the Sussexes and the royal family has only deepened.
