The Duchess of Sussex is celebrating her 45th birthday today, and a friend has revealed she plans to enjoy a relaxed day surrounded by loved ones.
A Day in Montecito
Meghan Markle is expected to spend the day at her home in Montecito, California, with her husband Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. A friend told Hello! magazine that Meghan wanted to have “a chilled day surrounded by loved ones”.
Previous Birthday Celebrations
Last year, Meghan shared a glimpse of her 44th birthday on Instagram, posting a picture of herself blowing out candles on a cake at a Los Angeles restaurant called Funke. She captioned the image: “Blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours, and thanking my husband, friends and family for making it so special. To those of you I don’t know, but who send love every day - thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it.”
Her lifestyle brand, As Ever, also marked the occasion by sharing a smiling photo of Meghan, with a post that read: “Celebrating the woman behind it all. She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder.”
Focus on Family Life
Once the celebrations are over, the duchess’s focus is likely to return to their family life in the US, away from the Royal Family.
