Meghan Markle, the former actress who captured the world’s attention when she married into the British royal family, will celebrate her 43rd birthday on Sunday, August 4th.

After stepping away from her senior royal duties in 2020, Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, have settled in the picturesque town of Montecito, California, where they have been raising their two children, 5-year-old Prince Archie and 2-year-old Princess Lilibet, away from the intense public scrutiny and media glare that had often overshadowed their lives in the United Kingdom.

As the former “Suits” star turns 43, all eyes are on what kind of special gift Prince Harry might bestow upon his wife for her birthday. According to a royal expert, the Duke of Sussex is known for his thoughtful and sentimental approach when it comes to selecting presents for Meghan’s special day.

In the past, Prince Harry has presented Meghan with some truly remarkable gifts, including a £75,000 ring that once belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana. The royal expert suggests that this year, Harry might opt for a different type of gift, potentially a painting or something that Meghan can display in their Montecito home. “Prince Harry is quite sentimental, and he’s very anxious to keep Meghan happy,” the expert said. “He has given her enough jewelry in the past, mostly from his mother, but Meghan is quite quirky and likes to design her own stuff, so he might veer off jewelry and maybe give her a painting or something this time.”

One of the most extravagant gifts Prince Harry has given to Meghan is a £75,000 aquamarine ring that previously belonged to Princess Diana. This ring, which was a favorite of Harry’s late mother, is believed to hold immense sentimental value for the Duke, and his decision to pass it on to Meghan is a testament to the depth of their love and his desire to keep his mother’s memory alive.

The couple is expected to celebrate Meghan’s 43rd birthday at their Montecito residence, with her mother, Doria Ragland, likely in attendance for the festivities. Earlier this year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hosted a pre-birthday party for their daughter Lilibet, inviting friends and family to their California home to kick off the celebrations in true royal style, as confirmed by People magazine.

In a resurfaced video, Meghan herself shared a glimpse into her preferred birthday routine, revealing a simple yet delightful treat that she enjoys on her special day. “For my birthday, if I don’t have a sweet tooth, I always have fries with a little candle on it,” the Duchess said in the video, offering a glimpse into her down-to-earth and relatable side.

As Meghan Markle celebrates her 43rd birthday, the world will be watching to see how she and Prince Harry choose to mark the occasion, no doubt with the same sense of joy, family, and the occasional indulgence in a plate of birthday fries that the Duchess herself has come to cherish.
