Royal fans gathered outside Buckingham Palace on Tuesday shared their birthday messages for Meghan Markle, who turns 45 today. The Duchess of Sussex is expected to spend the day in Montecito, California, with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Fans Share Their Wishes
Karen Letch, visiting from Australia, offered a simple four-word message: "Good luck to her." She and her husband, Harry Bowman, are fans of Prince Harry, calling him "the rebel of the family." Letch expressed hope that the Sussexes might return to the Royal Family, saying, "I would like to see them come back, and I would like to see their kids grow up with them all."
Another family, Dean Otten, Austin Woods, and their son Henry, also shared their thoughts. Young Henry wished Meghan a happy birthday in both English and German. His parents said they would like to see the family reconcile, with Austin predicting, "Once William becomes King, I think they will be back."
Mixed Feelings Among Fans
Angel Morgello said she would have liked to see Meghan remain part of the Royal Family, while her friend Kady Lenkay noted, "She did what she needed to do for her family." Eve Corlett added that Meghan faced public scrutiny in America and it was good she stepped away.
A friend of the duchess told Hello! magazine that Meghan planned to enjoy "a chilled day surrounded by loved ones."
