Meghan Markle has been snubbed by royals on her birthday as royal social media accounts avoided sending happy birthday messages - and one expert said she was ignored because they're fed up with her.

The royal family's account on X - formerly Twitter - did not post a happy birthday message as the Duchess of Sussex turned 42.

It is the second year running it failed to do so. Royal social media accounts usually acknowledge each other's birthdays.

William and Kate posted good wishes to Meghan last year but kept quiet this time.

Royal author Angela Levin suggested the heir to the throne and his wife are "fed up" with her.

"Meghan didn't recognise Camilla's birthday publicly so I don't see why they should do anything in return," she told The Sun.

"William wants absolutely nothing to do with Harry at the minute and who can blame him.

"Katherine is forgiving and isn't nasty, she comes from a loving home, but she is also really fed up with Meghan too.

"They could say something that has no emotion and no love - very, very basic.

"They don't want to give Meghan an opportunity to be nasty and for the Sussexes' squad to be vile because they will attack them back.

Earlier this week, it was claimed the couple have been snubbed from events commemorating the late Queen's death.

The Sussexes will not attend a royal family memorial at Balmoral on September 8, although Prince Andrew is expected to be there.

That date will also make Charles' Accession Day.

Harry and Meghan will be in Europe just a day after the event. They are due to be at the start of the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf on September 9 - meaning the couple could have fit the event into their travel plans.

But insiders said they did not get any invite to a public or private commemoration.
