MEMBERS of the Royal Family haven't sent public messages to Harry and Meghan on their wedding anniversary as the royal rift continues.
Kate and William, Prince Charles, and the Queen all failed to pen an anniversary wish on social media to mark the Sussexes' two year anniversary today.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have continued their normal social media content today, including showing Kate's visit to the V&A as restrictions in England ease.
And Prince Charles and Camilla have been chronicling their visit to Northern Ireland all day – without a word of praise for Harry and Meghan's milestone.
The official Royal Family twitter account only made one tweet yesterday – announcing that Princess Beatrice is expecting a baby in the autumn.

REPORT ON DIANA'S PANORAMA INTERVIEW 'TO CONCLUDE BASHIR USED DECEITFUL METHODS'
An investigation into how the BBC and Martin Bashir landed Panorama's famous interview with Diana, Princess of Wales will reportedly conclude the journalist used deceitful methods.
Lord Dyson, the former master of the rolls and head of civil justice, was appointed to look into the circumstances surrounding the explosive 1995 interview, which famously featured Diana saying: "Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."
According to the Daily Telegraph, the report – being published today – has concluded Bashir deployed deceitful methods in securing the interview, in breach of BBC editorial rules.
It was previously alleged that Bashir mocked up fake bank statements and showed them to Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, to gain access to the princess.
Richard Ayre, the BBC's controller of editorial policy in 1995, told the Telegraph he had told Lord Dyson in evidence that Bashir would have breached guidelines in mocking up the statements and showing them to Earl Spencer.

ROYAL ARMS – PRINCE WILLIAM GETS COVID JAB… MORE
It is not clear which Covid vaccine William received today, but as he's under 40, he would have been entitled to the Pfizer jab.
William “struggled to breathe” after being struck down by Covid last April, but he kept his diagnosis a secret because he didn’t want to alarm the nation.
A source said later: "William was hit pretty hard by the virus – it really knocked him for six.
"At one stage he was struggling to breathe, so obviously everyone around him was pretty panicked."

Kensington Palace said the royal had the vaccine at the Science Museum, which is close to where he lives. It was administered by NHS staff.

AUSTRALIAN COMEDIANS MOCK 'WHINGEING' SUSSEXES
The Duchess of Sussex has been brutally mocked as a 'homewrecker' by comedians Sam Pang and Tim McDonald in Australia.
The pair were taking part in a TV quiz show Have You Been Paying Attention?
The Mail Online reported that its host replied in mock disdain: "That is… very unkind. She cops a lot on this show!" She was also mocked for being part of a "family feud".
Also in Australia, Nine's Today show host Karl Stefanovic slammed Prince Harry's recent interview with the Armchair Expert podcast, for "whining about his childhood".
"I'm just saying it's ridiculous how he keeps whining about his childhood. He grew up in privilege – in a palace. I mean, just give it a rest, bro," he advised.

PRINCE CHARMING – CHARLES LAUGHS OFF HARRY’S PARENTING MOANS… MORE
Charles and Camilla's trip to Northern Ireland came amid a deluge of publicity for Harry's upcoming mental health series with Oprah Winfrey.
Last week, the Duke of Sussex claimed his dad “suffered” due to his upbringing by the Queen and Prince Philip, then “treated me the way he was treated”
His criticism sparked a wave of criticism from royal experts and others.
Commentator Robert Jobson told Australian breakfast show Sunrise: "He believes this himself, and mental health is a big, big issue out there, but come on – really to keep harping on like this is getting embarrassing.
"To criticise his father for his parenting skills, but also the Queen and Prince Philip, who only just had his funeral – he's only just lost his grandfather. I think it smacks of pretty shameless behaviour."

PRINCE CHARMING – CHARLES LAUGHS OFF HARRY'S PARENTING MOANS
Prince Charles has been pictured laughing despite Harry's moans about his parenting during his royal visit to Northern Ireland.
The Prince of Wales was all smiles as he visited an open air market in Bangor with wife Camilla.
He beamed at a baby in a pram and chatted with members of the public during his visit, which began days after Harry blasted the 72-year-old's parenting and said he moved to California to "break the cycle of pain" for him and his wife Meghan.
And while the comments may well have upset Charles, there has been no sign of it during his official visit.
This week he has looked relaxed as he donned a hard hat and hi-vis yellow vest to meet workers at the Belfast's iconic Harland & Wolff shipyard.

HARRY & MEGHAN’S HOME AT RISK FROM ‘SEVERE WILDFIRES’
Prince Harry and Meghan’s $14.7million home is at risk of “severe wildfires” with neighbors “worried sick” after one of the one of the driest rainfall years in the last decade, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
The royal couple, who relocated from Britain to sunny California last year, bought a stunning home in a celebrity enclave in Montecito, where they live with their two-year-old son, Archie.
But despite their 18,000-square-foot modern property being set in lush green surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it’s not the ideal location when it comes to safety.
With Meghan heavily pregnant, they may end up evacuating with their newborn daughter, their toddler son and beloved pets, after officials delivered a stark warning this month.
Christina Favuzzi, Montecito Fire Public Information Officer, exclusively told The Sun homeowners such as Meghan and Harry should prepare for the worst.

KATE VISITS V&A MUSEUM IN LONDON TO MARK REOPENING
The Duchess of Cambridge was among the first to see two exhibitions at the V&A museum as it opened to the public.
Kate, who is royal patron of the cultural attraction in central London, was given a guided tour of a series of works by the old master Raphael.
Wearing a face mask and a dress by Alessandra Rich, she viewed the museum's Raphael Court, home to the Raphael Cartoons, now open to the public following a nine-month refurbishment to mark the 500th anniversary of the artist's death.
Raphael was commissioned in 1515 by Pope Leo X to create seven full-scale designs for tapestries known as cartoons for the Vatican's Sistine Chapel, and are considered to be one of the greatest treasures of the Renaissance.
During the visit the duchess learnt about the gallery's new interpretive approach, which features an on-site digital experience, and how it will transform the way visitors view Raphael's work.

"They were horrified that something so common was happening within the House of Windsor."
