The Queen, however, didn't wish Meghan a happy birthday publicly, sparking some critics to view the lack of birthday wishes as a 'snub'. However, one royal expert argues this is simply down to royal protocol.
The Daily Express' royal correspondent Richard Palmer explained, "The Queen's website neglected to mention the big day after deciding it will only mark the birthdays of non-working members of the family when they end in a zero."
