Fans of Meghan Markle on Twitter have accused her father-in-law, Prince Charles, of snubbing her in his recent birthday post celebrating grandson Archie’s second birthday.
The Prince of Wales posted a birthday message that only included himself with his son, Prince Harry, holding baby Archie.
“Happy birthday to Archie, who turns two today,” he captioned the pic. People noticed that Markle was not featured, despite being seen in every birthday message from other royal family members.
“Sad! Very sad state of affairs when the supposed future king cuts the mother of his grandchild out of the photo with which he chooses to share,” wrote one person.

“Lovely picture, but where is Meghan on the picture?” asked someone else.
“Why would you not call him your grandson and why cut his mother off? You have made a lot of mistakes yourself or have you forgotten that. This is not helping at all,” said another.

Others came to Charles’ defense. “Perhaps this is a moment with 3 generations. A favourite picture… maybe instead of people being offended just appreciate a lovely picture. If Meghan was in the picture people would of found something else to be offended about,” someone wrote.
“They chose to feature the 3 generations. Nothing wrong with that,” another user agreed.
