The Royal Family reportedly did not reach out to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on their wedding anniversary, despite the Duchess of Sussex marking it in a very public way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Montecito-based couple celebrated eight years of marriage on Tuesday with an anniversary cake presented by their children<\/a>, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, four.<\/p>\n

Meghan, 44, documented the moment on her Instagram Story, and also shared a string of previously unseen moments from their May 19, 2018, wedding at St George’s Chapel in Windsor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the Sussexes’ very public celebration, a source has claimed Harry’s family made no attempt to congratulate them.<\/p>\n

“There was no phone call, no private message, no peace offering \u2014 absolutely nothing,” a source told Rob Shuter. “The silence was very intentional.”<\/p>\n

Meghan’s Instagram pictures noticeably excluded members of the Royal Family, which apparently “did not go unnoticed” by the Palace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat omission did not go unnoticed,\u201d another source told the journalist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe photos focused entirely on Harry and Meghan. It was like the royals had been erased from the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

King Charles is seen in just one of the 24 photographs, with his back to the camera as he got ready to walk Meghan down the aisle.<\/p>\n

In another of Meghan’s posts, she shared footage of Harry, 41, standing in their kitchen beside a cake decorated with candles. The cake was lemon and elderflower – the same flavour that was served at their reception.<\/p>\n

Harry presented Meghan with the cake as he and the children sang: “Happy anniversary to Mama,” with Meghan quickly adding: “And Papa!”<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex also gifted his wife a bronze penguin statue, accompanied by handmade cards from Archie and Lilibet.<\/p>\n

“When we got engaged, we had a party with all of our friends, and we said, ‘everyone wear an animal onesie’ and we were penguins,” Meghan explained in the video. “Because they’re together for life.”<\/p>\n

The Sussexes’ very public display has baffled some royal watchers, particularly as eight years isn’t typically a milestone anniversary.<\/p>\n

“If these were personal family moments and not contrived, then why would you need the world to see them?” one person wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Another criticised: “Dozens of pics of their spectacle, cake with candles? Who blows out candles on their anniversary?”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, others were complimentary about the anniversary posts, with one saying: “They look so genuinely happy together… Love how they keep their private moments grounded despite all the constant media noise.”<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan have been estranged from the Royal Family since they stepped back from royal duties in 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
