Happy Birthday, Meghan Markle! It's Her First Birthday as a Royal
Meghan Markle is celebrating her first birthday as the Duchess of Sussex today, and the royal family is pulling out all the stops to wish her the best of birthdays. Although she and Prince Harry went to Botswana for her birthday last year, the newly 37-year-old royal won’t be celebrating too hard this year: Along with Prince Harry, she’s reportedly attending the wedding of Charlie Van Straubenzee and Daisy Jenks. The former is one of Harry’s oldest friends from childhood—they went to school together—so it’s still going to be a pretty amazing day for the couple, who remain close to the soon-to-be newlyweds. Van Straubenzee and his brother Thomas were also ushers at Meghan and Harry’s wedding, and Harry will reportedly be serving as best man on Saturday.
But back to Meghan’s birthday: Instagram and Twitter accounts run by the royal family—as well as fans—have been wishing their newest member well on her big day.
“Thank you everyone for your lovely messages on The Duchess of Sussex’s birthday! #HappyBirthdayHRH,” Kensington Palace wrote on an Instagram post celebrating the Duchess. (It also posted the same greetings to Twitter.)
The official royal family Instagram and Twitter accounts also wished her a happy birthday.
“Happy Birthday to HRH The Duchess of Sussex! #HappyBirthdayHRH,” it posted on Saturday to both accounts.
“Wishing HRH The Duchess of Sussex a very Happy Birthday ?,” tweeted Clarence House, the official account of Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
