Meghan Markle and Prince Harry claimed they weren't invited to King Charles' birthday party.

Royal expert Angela Levin discussed the Sussexes' claims that they weren't included in Charles' party planning during a GB News appearance.

"We've got an unknown, unnamed person saying all sorts of things. We can't believe a word of it. We're so used to them twisting things," Levin said on air.

"But also The Sunday Times is a very respectable paper, and the royal head of that is also very careful and well respected. So I don't believe that. I'm sure she's right and they're wrong," she added.

The Sussexes used their statement as an opportunity to question the integrity of the British media.

"That's because they've become so unpleasant. They're so nasty," Levin said when asked about the couple's attitude toward the press. "They're so awful about things. And also I call them eco-hypocrites because they're going so many times in private planes and yet they're telling us that we absolutely must not do that."

The royal biographer later discussed the lack of consistency within the Sussexes' commentary.

"Harry set up Travalyst, which which is when you go away, you're very careful where you go and how you go and you don't use planes and all that," she stated. "And he's the patron of that and he's just doing absolutely the opposite of what he's telling us to do."

OK! previously reported royalists wondered if Harry's anticipated absence is indicative of the status of the Sussexes' relationship with the Windsors. American commentator Kinsey Schofield referenced biographer Tom Quinn's analysis of the public schism.

"The split between Harry and his family is likely very permanent because the family is so hurt by it," Schofield said on GB News.

"I'm out here with a lot of people from your neck of the woods and they are telling me the same thing, that the family is absolutely stunned by Harry's activity," she added.

The podcaster later shared that Harry's relatives were left heartbroken following the release of his memoir, Spare.

"They're devastated and there is no reconciliation on the horizon as far as people close to the royal family are concerned," Schofield continued.

"They just do not see that reunion happening," the media personality noted. "They say that the royal family is truly, truly hurt by Harry's actions over the last few years and they never thought he was capable of of such things."
