PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle have yet to publicly congratulate the Queen as she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee.
The couple have remained silent – despite news that Camilla will become Queen Consort when Charles is eventually made King.
Her Majesty made a historic statement last night to confirm she wishes the Duchess of Cornwall to be fully acknowledged when her eldest son takes the throne.
Movingly, she signed the address to Brits: “Your servant, Elizabeth R.”
Charles and Camilla said they were “touched and honoured” by the gesture, while the Prince of Wales paid tribute to his “darling wife” and said he was “deeply conscious of the honour”.
But almost 24 hours after the news was revealed, the Sussexes are yet to speak publicly from their £11million mansion in exclusive Montecito.
They do not use social media, and instead use their freedom from royal duties to champion a range of causes and businesses.
Updates on their lives are provided through their Archewell website.

The couple recently confirmed that “sources” will no longer speak for them – and they will only comment when they wish to through their official press team.
Despite the lack of public response, Harry is understood to have been enjoying video calls with his father over the past few weeks.
He is expected to return to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
However, it’s suggested he will not be accompanied by Meghan, Archie or Lilibet amid a row over the family’s security arrangements.
Harry will take the UK Government to court after being stripped of his private security detail when he made the decision to step back from the Royal Family.
He says he has offered to pay the Met Police for specially-trained officers, but was rejected.
In his bombshell interview with Oprah last March, the Duke claimed he was forced to take multimillion pound deals with Netflix and Spotify to pay for bodyguards.
SUSSEX SILENCE
Meanwhile, a source has claimed Prince Andrew will not attend the Jubilee at all as he faces a life in the royal wilderness.
The Duke of York – who vehemently denies sex abuse allegations – faces a civil trial in New York.
The unnamed tipster told Vanity Fair that The Firm made the decision to essentially banish Andrew as part of its strategy for the future.
“He won’t be at the Jubilee,” the source said.
“He is going to disappear from sight.
“He knows that he cannot further tarnish the Queen’s reputation, and that is very much the view of the family.
“The way they plan to deal with this is to remove Andrew from official royal life and public view.
“This has been the Queen’s decision, but it is supported by other senior family members.”
