Royal family wish Meghan Markle happy birthday as she turns 41

The royal family have wished Meghan Markle a happy birthday, by sharing pictures of her on social media to mark the occasion.

Images of the Duchess of Sussex during her UK visit to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee were posted on the official Twitter accounts of the Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Meghan is celebrating her 41st birthday and is likely to mark her big day privately with husband Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet, in California where they live.

William and Kate’s official twitter account posted an image of the duchess attending the St Paul’s Cathedral service of thanksgiving in June that marked the Queen’s 70-year reign. It featured the words: “Wishing a happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!”

Charles and Camilla’s Twitter account posted a similar image of Meghan from the service alongside a balloon emoji and the words “Happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!” Meghan and Harry have established a new life for themselves in the celebrity enclave of Montecito in California.

The couple bought a multimillion-pound home and have launched a non-profit foundation, after stepping down as working royals in January 2020. They have also signed lucrative deals – thought to be worth well over £100 million – with Spotify and Netflix which have given them the capital to pursue their new lifestyle and public goals.
