As Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex turned 39 yesterday, it’s safe to assume she would have been enjoying the day with her husband, Prince Harry, and their son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor in Los Angeles, where they are currently residing.
While they’re on the other side of the world, all of the senior members of the royal family made sure to make a public celebration of Meghan’s birthday.
Posting to their official social media channels, the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince William and Kate Middleton all sent public happy birthday wishes to the 39-year-old royal.
From the Queen’s official Instagram account, The Royal Family, a photo of the monarch and Meghan from their first outing was shared along with the caption, “Wishing The Duchess of Sussex a very happy birthday!”
Meanwhile, on the Clarence House and Kensington Royal Instagram accounts – the official channels for Charles and Camilla and William and Kate – solo photos of Meghan were shared along with simple happy birthday messages.
These public posts come just days ahead of the release of the tell-all book, , which is set to lift the lid on the journey to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s exit of the royal family and will also detail the reported tensions between the couple and the rest of the family – particularly between them and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
A few claims in the book include details about Meghan and Kate’s alleged feud. “Though it was not necessarily her responsibility, Kate did little to bridge the divide,” the book’s authors, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, write about the Duchesses’ relationship.
As for brothers Harry and William, it details how the Duke of Cambridge gave his younger sibling “warnings” about Meghan, not wanting to him to be “blindsided by lust”.
Whilst is most certainly high-anticipated to finally get the truth behind the couple’s journey to stepping down from royal life, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s spokesperson has categorically denied the pair contributed to the book.
