The Duke and Duchess of Sussex feud with senior members of the Royal Family continues

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry publicly snubbed King Charles's 75th birthday despite extending a private olive branch to the monarch.

The King celebrated the milestone birthday yesterday and did receive a call from his youngest son to mark the occasion.


However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex failed to release a public tribute to King Charles to mark the occasion.

Prince Harry's intention to call his father on his birthday was made public with the BBC reporting it on Tuesday morning.

Despite this, the Sussexes opted against making a public tribute to the King as their feud with the Royal Family remains ongoing.

A source told The Sun regarding the call: "The King was extremely busy but is polite and loves his son and his grandchildren, and not so mean that he would not take a call on his birthday."

Prince Harry's brother Prince William and his wife Catherine made a public tribute to the King to mark the occasion.

The Prince and Princess of Wales posted three photos of themselves with the King on Instagram containing a birthday message.

The post was captioned: "Wishing His Majesty The King a very happy 75th birthday!"

The selection of photos used by William and Kate may have been a subtle swipe at the Duke of Sussex.

The couple opted not to include any photos with Prince Harry in their social media post.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are not on speaking terms with the Duke of Sussex.
