Meghan Markle thanked Prince Harry for making her 44th birthday “so special” after the Duchess was blanked by her A-list pals and fellow Royals.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the ex-Suits star failed to notch birthday mentions from famous friends including Beyonce and Tyler Perry, who previously flagged the occasion on social media.

But it appears the Duke, 40, made an effort to make the milestone as Meghan lauded her husband in a gushing social media post alongside a snap of her blowing out candles on a birthday cake.
She wrote: “Blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours, and thanking my husband, friends and family for making it so special.
“To those of you I don’t know, but who send love every day — thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it.”
Meghan also joked that she was going to “get a little foodie on’ her fans when she revealed that her party was held at the acclaimed restaurant Funke in Beverly Hills, which has became a popular spot for stars including Kim Kardashian, Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon, among many others.
A-List Snub

As well as A-listers, Meghan was also snubbed by the royal family when it came to birthday well-wishers.
Despite the Duke and Duchess’ contentious break from the royal family, Harry’s brother and sister-in-law, Prince William and Kate Middleton, continued to send birthday tributes to Meghan, as did his father, King Charles, and stepmom Queen Camilla.
In 2022, William and Kate posed a gorgeous photo of the Netflix star on their social media pages, writing: “Wishing a happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!”
The monarch and his wife shared a similar photo from Meghan’s appearance at a service of Thanksgiving during Queen Elizabeth’s platinum Jubilee celebrations, noting, “Happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!””along with a red balloon emoji.
Following the Queen’s death in September 2022, relations between Harry and Meghan and his family soured considerably, with the release of their tell-all Netflix docuseries in December that year, not forgetting the Prince’s 2023 royal family-bashing memoir, Spare.
Did You Write That, Meghan?

But the Duchess could at least rely on one person to spread the love on her birthday — herself.
Meghan’s As Ever brand shared an over-the-top birthday message on Instagram that some royal watchers claimed the Duchess wrote herself.
Next to a black and white photo of the California native, the caption read: “Celebrating the woman behind it all. She pours her heart, vision & magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder @meghan.”
