Prince Harry Posted the Sweetest Instagram Tribute to Meghan Markle for Her Birthday
Meghan Markle, duchess of Sussex, is celebrating her 38th birthday on Sunday (August 4), and although she’s reportedly keeping things pretty chilled out for her celebration, that doesn’t mean that there’s not going to be some public acknowledgement of her big day. Leave it to Prince Harry, who wrote a super-sweet birthday tribute to Markle via the Sussexes’ official royal Instagram handle, @sussexroyal.
The account shared a photo of Markle smiling brightly and looking elegant in a sky blue shirt dress tied at the waist. “Wishing HRH The Duchess of Sussex a very Happy Birthday ?,” the caption reads.
Prince Harry himself also chimed in in the caption with a public tribute to Markle: “‘Happy Birthday to my amazing wife. Thank you for joining me on this adventure!’ – Love, H,” his well-wishes read.
Others left their birthday greetings in the comments, too, including Jameela Jamil and Edward Enninful, the editor in chief of British Vogue who worked with Markle as she guest-edited the magazine’s September issue.
Kensington Palace’s Instagram account, which represents Prince William, Kate Middleton, and the rest of the Cambridges, also wished Markle a happy birthday. No drama here!
“Wishing a very happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex today! ?” @kensingtonroyal captioned the picture they posted, which features Prince Charles, William, Middleton, Markle, and Harry walking together at Christmas last year.
Markle was initially reported in June to be joining the queen at Balmoral in Scotland to celebrate her big day, but later reports indicate that she’ll be keeping it low-key at Frogmore with a quiet celebration with the family.
“The Sussexes have been so busy this year that I can imagine her birthday will simply involve a well-deserved day of rest with a few friends—and, of course, precious moments with Archie,” royal commentator Omid Scobie said on Friday. Given how full Markle’s plate is—she guest-edited the September issue of British Vogue on maternity leave, after all—here’s hoping she has a wonderfully chill birthday with friends and family.
