Meghan Markle pays 'respect' to Princess Kate on special day

Meghan Markle sent a message to her estranged sister-in-law, Princess Kate, as the future Queen marked a special milestone.

On January 9, the Princess of Wales celebrated her 44th birthday with a 'deeply personal' message on the Waleses' official Instagram page.

Catherine received heartfelt birthday greetings from all across the world, including the royal family.

However, it has been observed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remained silent on social platforms despite the talks of peace between the Sussexes and the royals.

An insider told ShuterScoop that Meghan's silence was not a snub, but it appears that she" wanted Catherine to have space," especially after her difficult cancer journey.

"This isn't spite - it's respect for what she's going through," the source shared.

However, another source claimed that Harry and Meghan are "making it clear they're done. It's a line in the sand," by not sending a birthday wish to Kate.

"The Sussexes are still railing in the media, but Kate? She's calm, grounded, and moving forward. It's a quiet power play," the report further stated.
