The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, were apparently not invited to King Charles III’s 75th birthday celebrations.
A Royal expert and author spoke about the birthday insult and said it reflected the relationship between the couple and the Royal Family. He attributed the broken family relationship to Harry’s 2023 memoir “replace.”
The memoir includes details of Harry’s royal life, particularly attacking his stepmother, Queen Camilla. Despite the low-key attitude, birthday celebrations continued this week with a private gathering of just family and friends at Clarence House.

Christopher Andersen, royal expert and author of “King,” talk with Fox News Digital about the birthday snub. She shared that she was not surprised by the lack of invitations and gave reasons for the surprise move by King Charles.
Andersen said, “The fact that Harry and Meghan weren’t even invited to the king’s 75th birthday really speaks to how irreconcilable the Sussexes and Windsors are.”
Andersen also stated that the relationship between the couple and the royal family was not strained. He added, “You can only burn bridges so many times. The bottom line is that the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family will continue to have nothing to do with each other for the foreseeable future, period.
Harry ‘Committed the Unpardonable Sin’

Amid reports of them being snubbed from birthday celebrations, a spokesperson for the couple addressed the rumours. The representative stated that Harry would not be “traveling from California” because “there has been no contact regarding an invitation to Her Majesty’s upcoming birthday” from the royal family.
Andersen further linked the broken relationship in the royal family to Harry’s controversial memoir “replace.”
The author particularly noted Harry’s writing about his stepmother, Queen Camilla. She said, “My feeling is that Charles could easily turn his back on Harry because Harry committed an unforgivable sin: Harry insulted Camilla in his book, ‘Spare,’ branding her a ‘villain.'”
Andersen explained that there would be no problem if Harry just focused on Prince William and the rest of the royal family. He said that King Charles was “wildly and blindly devoted to Queen Camilla” and was known to be quick-tempered and hold a grudge.
Harry’s Memoirs Attack Some Royals Directly

Harry’s memoirs”replace” was released in bookshops in January this year and reveals some intimate details of her life as a senior royal before 2020. In the book, she accuses Camilla of leaking some private conversations to gain press attention and boost her reputation.
Camilla has made significant efforts to repair her image with the British press and public after her scandalous affair with Charles. Many blame her for the breakdown of Charles’ marriage to Harry and William’s mother, the late Princess Diana.
Harry wrote, “That makes him dangerous because of the connections he has with the British press.”
The Duke of Sussex then told CBS, “There is an open willingness on both sides to trade information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on her way to becoming queen consort, there will be people or bodies left on the road.”
He also claimed in the memoir that he and William repeatedly “begged” Charles not to marry Camilla, endlessly.

King Charles’ birthday celebrations continue this week. Royal expert Hilary Fordwich revealed to Fox News Digital that the Royal family is planning a quiet birthday celebration. He claimed that a “moderate celebration” was the King’s request after heavy celebrations for his recent coronation.
Fordwich said: “He will spend his special day with just friends and family at his London home where he lived with Queen Camilla for two decades, Clarence House.”
Royal author Andersen also spoke of the intimate birthday celebration and said it was limited to the King’s “close friends and family”.
He added: “It’s a real birthday party, usually attended by a good number of guests, including lots of people with titles as well as a small number of celebrities and deep-pocketed donors to Charles’ favorite charities.”
The birthday celebrations already began on Monday with a private tea dance with the 75-year-old at the King’s Highgrove estate.
