Meghan Markle celebrates her 41st birthday

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, spent her 41st birthday in the company of people she loves the most. They were Prince Harry, her husband and their two children, 3-year-old son Archie and one-year-old daughter Lilibet. The rest of the royal family stays in the UK and they took to the social media to celebrate the occasion of Meghan turning another year older. Meghan Markle Is Celebrating Her 41st Birthday With ‘Family and Dear Friends.’ Among them were Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge. Harry’s father Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla also wished Meghan. Incidentally, the birthday came a few weeks after the two of them visited New York City. There Harry made a speech in honor of Nelson Mandela Day. The event was at the U.N. General Assembly. While paying tribute, Harry referred to Meghan as his “soulmate.”



The pair made their first joint public appearance in the U.K. in April. That was the first time since they stepped down from their royal duties. It seems the two of them made a brief stop at London to meet the Queen while en-route to the 2022 Invictus Games in Netherlands. The reunion was at Windsor Castle and Harry admitted that his grandmother was in “great form.” Harry founded the Invictus Games that promote different games meant for war-disabled veterans. The couple now lives in Santa Barbara, California. In March 2020, they announced their plans to step away from their roles in the royal family. Later, in March 2021, they confirmed permanently moving to the United States. That was prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
