Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie turned five on May 6. While it’s common for royals to congratulate each other on birthdays by sharing the birthday boy’s latest photos and public wishes, this time was an exception.
On the occasion of the birthday of their loved ones, King Charles III and his wife Camilla, Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton traditionally share congratulations on their official social network accounts. Such a tradition is extremely popular not only with the royal family, who usually share the latest photos of the birthday boy, but also with the public – never-before-seen photos always delight the British.
However, this year baby Archie’s birthday passed as quietly as ever – Prince Harry’s son did not receive public congratulations from the royal family.

It didn’t take long to fuel even more talk about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s still strained and not improving relationship with the royal family.
True, royal family experts say that such behavior can be easily explained without looking for big implications – only members of the family who perform royal duties receive public greetings, and Prince Harry’s family refused to do so.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are said to be celebrating son Achie’s birthday in the US quietly, with close friends.
“They will be with friends and Meghan’s mother Doria,” a source close to the couple told People before the celebration.
Baby Archie has not been seen by the royal family for a long time. According to Daily Mail, baby Archie last visited the United Kingdom in 2019. in the fall, before the Dukes of Sussex leave for Canada.
