Birthday wishes are in order for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s daughter, Lilibet, who turned two on Sunday.

Here’s why:
Though the optics of the omission are being perceived as a slight and a sign of the ongoing strained relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family, a royal source tells ET: “It has never been protocol to share formal birthday wishes for non-working members of the royal family or their children on the official channels. Any such birthday wishes would be shared privately.”This marks a change in course from last year, when, on June 4, 2022, the royal family did publicly issue a string of happy wishes for Lilibet’s first birthday across multiple verified social media accounts. @KensingtonRoyal, @ClarenceHouse and @RoyalFamily were among the Twitter handles that posted about the milestone.
Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, stepped away from their duties as working members of the royal family in March 2020 as they relocated to Montecito, California. The following year, in February 2021, the couple confirmed their official exit after what had been dubbed a year-long trial period.
Harry and Meghan welcomed their daughter in June 2021 in California and shared that her name — Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor — honors Harry’s grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, as well as his mother, the late Princess Diana.

Alleged acrimony between the two nobles reportedly erupted after Harry and Meghan opted to abdicate their royal stations in the UK and relocate to California to quietly raise Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2.Rumors of contention between the prince’s royal family and his wife reached a fever pitch in January, when Harry released memoir “Spare,” in which he dubbed his father’s wife a “wicked stepmother.” Years prior to the fallout, Camilla and Meghan were said to have had a friendly bond. “In many ways, Camilla had paved the way for Meghan,” Vanity Fair Royal Editor Katie Nicholl said in a Channel 5 documentary, seemingly noting the parallels between the now-queen’s initially frosty welcome into the royal family due to her years-long affair with Charles. “Camilla would have been there to tell her not to take any criticism personally,” added Nicholl, “but this is just what happens when you’re an outsider.”And while it’s unclear whether Camilla’s re-do regalia at the Ascot was meant to be a dig at Markle, sources told Page Six Wednesday, “The gossip in the royal enclosure was how happy everyone was that Meghan and Harry weren’t here.”
