The Duke of Sussex has broken his customary silence on social media to share an exceptionally rare and heartfelt public tribute to his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, on her 43rd birthday.
Taking to the couple's Archewell website, Prince Harry did not hold back in his admiration, posting a stunning black-and-white portrait of the former actress. The intimate photograph captures Meghan in a moment of serene reflection, looking away from the camera with a soft, natural smile.
Accompanying the striking image was a simple yet powerful caption that spoke volumes. 'Happy Birthday to my beloved wife,' the Duke wrote, signing off with, 'With love and devotion, H.' The use of his initial, a personal and affectionate signature, offered a glimpse into the private bond they share.
The public display of affection has been met with an outpouring of warmth from royal watchers and supporters worldwide. Fans quickly flooded the comments section, echoing Harry's sentiments with their own birthday wishes for the Duchess.
This gesture stands out as a notable departure from the couple's usual private celebrations. It is understood the pair are marking the occasion quietly at their home in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The tribute has been widely interpreted as a strong and united show of support from Harry towards his wife, who has often been at the centre of intense media scrutiny. By choosing his words and this specific portrait with care, the Duke celebrated not just her birthday, but her strength, compassion, and the inspiration she provides to him and many others.
