King Charles might send birthday regards to Meghan Markle.

Royal expert Tom Sykes claimed to Page Six on Tuesday how King Charles will likely send his birthday regards to Meghan. “The king is a scrupulously polite man, and I’m quite certain he would wish to send his daughter-in-law his birthday wishes,” he noted.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield also gave her two cents on the subject, telling the publication: “Charles has always had a compassionate streak, and despite everything that’s happened, he has rarely gone out of his way to be overtly unkind toward Meghan."

"A discreet gesture would be entirely in keeping with his character," she said.

A Royal Expert Claimed Kate Middleton and Prince William Won't Recognize Meghan Markle's Birthday

Prince William and Kate Middleton allegedly won't acknowledge Meghan Markle's birthday.

However, Harry's estranged brother, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, are unlikely to be sending the former actress any wishes.

Schofield noted the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 44, won't recognize Meghan's birthday “in any capacity" as the Fab Four's "relationship simply isn’t there anymore."

Meghan, Harry, William and Kate's relationship soured once the Sussexes left The Firm in January 2020 and headed to the West Coast.

"[The Wales] believe Meghan played a significant role in the breakdown of family trust, and I think any suggestion that they’re secretly exchanging birthday wishes belongs more in the realm of wishful thinking than reality," the “R is for Revenge Dress” podcast host added.

Sykes agreed with that notion, saying, "I don’t think they will be expecting any [birthday wishes] from Prince William and Catherine."
