Meghan Markle found herself again under the spotlight, and this time, it was his celebration of the 44th anniversary that drew attention – in particular because of a message that left the British royal family silent. What seemed to be a simple birthday post quickly turned into an important personal declaration, leaving a lot to interpret his words in various ways.
During her special day, Meghan chose not to publish on her usual Instagram account. Instead, she shared a sincere photo of herself blowing birthday candles in a restaurant in California, accompanied by a reflective message that subtly highlighted her inner circle and moved away from the royal family. The message, although simple in its appearance, was largely considered a declaration on people who count most in her life now, marking a clear change in the royal world that she once lived.
A personal declaration on Meghan’s birthday
“Define candles in 24 hours,” wrote Meghan, thanking her husband, friends and family for their love and support. The addition of “those of you that I do not know, but who send love every day, I appreciate it,” drew the attention of many, with speculating British media that the message osted in a ostened manner of the mention of the royal family. This gesture seems to underline the feeling of separation between Meghan and his former members of his family.
His birthday celebration was marked by love messages from his close friends, notably Abigail Spencer, Kelly McKee Zajfen, Jamie Kern Lima and the makeup artist Daniel Martin. Spencer, who played with Meghan on Costumesposted: “As glorious as the day I met you”, strengthening the close ties that she shares with her inner circle. Meanwhile, Kelly McKee Zajfen described Meghan as “a force of pleasure and light” in a photo she shared, illustrating the positive and united network more around the duchess.

Increasing distance of the royal family
While Meghan’s friends and supporters showed his love and appreciation, the British royal family remained particularly silent following their birthday message. This absence of official congratulations only intensified the perception of a constant evolution gap between Meghan and his former royal parents. The lack of communication and the absence of public messages from her parents-in-law continue to highlight the tensions that have marked her relationship with the royal family since she fell royal duties.
