The Royal Family has once again publicly snubbed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ’s son Archie on his 5th birthday.

Today, Archie Harrison is celebrating his fifth birthday with his family, including younger sister Lilibet, two. The young prince was born at 05:26 on May 6, 2019, at the Portland Hospital in London. And his fifth birthday has now been brutally snubbed by the Royal Family and their official social media accounts.

Despite the young prince turning five today, the Royal Family has publicly snubbed him by not wishing him a happy birthday in view of their social media followers as of yet, as they often do with other members of the family.

The Royal Family used to send birthday wishes to the Sussexes, even after they stepped down as senior working royals, with the late Queen wishing Meghan a happy birthday in the same year that she and Harry moved to America. Sharing a post on the Royal Family’s Instagram account, she said: “Wishing The Duchess of Sussex a very happy birthday.”

In 2022 there was a suggestion, according to an expert, that the royal website, Twitter and Instagram pages would no longer send birthday greetings out to any non-working members of the Royal Family unless their birthday ends in a zero.

Then, in August 2023, it was reported that royal aides said they only marked the birthdays of working members of the Royal Family on their official social media accounts. Which came amid Meghan’s 42nd birthday and how she was seemingly “snubbed”.

Archie is the first-born child, and only son, of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Unlike previous royal births, there was no immediate photocall at the hospital steps, with his birth announced by Buckingham Palace via a framed notice on an easel outside of the iconic palace.

The young prince became a big brother when he was only two years of age, with his younger sister Lilibet being born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, on June 4, 2021, at 11:40. The two children have been raised in California, with them not in contact with their wider family in the UK.
