There are a lot of different obligations when you’re a working member of the royal family.
Acknowledging family members' birthdays is essentially part of the job as well.
Don’t believe that?

In the age of social media, that means getting wished a happy birthday by your family members.
Compared to last year’s posts, there was a huge difference in sentiment.
Unfortunately, the creativity stops there.

The only difference was a slightly different angle and the addition of am emoji balloon.
“Wishing a happy birthday to the Duchess of Sussex!
You’ll need to do a double take to realize that these are two different posts.

Compared to last year’s birthday wishes, the posts were a bit dry.
Heck, the Royal Family even posted a photo of the Duchess of Sussex with Queen Elizabeth.
This year, the account skipped out on wishing her a birthday altogether.
Twitter seems to think that the bland birthday messages allude to tension in the family.
