As the Duchess of Sussex approaches her 43rd birthday, she will undoubtedly be surrounded by her family. Meghan, along with her husband Prince Harry and their two children, have been living a low-profile life in Montecito, California, for over four years. The Sussexes are known to enjoy date nights at some of their favorite spots in the area, such as Lucky’s Steakhouse and Tre Lune, where Meghan celebrated her 42nd birthday. Prince Archie, who is five years old, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet will likely join in the family celebrations at their Montecito home, alongside Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
Meghan’s friends hold a special place in her heart, and it’s expected that she will have a girls’ lunch to mark her special day. Last year, she had a belated birthday gathering with her hair colorist Kadi Lee, co-founder of wellness brand Highbrow Hippie, and author Cleo Wade. The Duchess recently attended a business summit in the Hamptons with her closest friends, including fashion designer Misha Nonoo and makeup artist Bobbi Brown. The launch of Meghan’s upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, is highly anticipated, as she first hinted at it on Instagram in March.
Prince Harry has a history of showering Meghan with romantic gestures on her birthdays. For her 36th birthday in 2017, just a year into their relationship, he whisked her away to Botswana. The trip was a precursor to their engagement, which happened only a few weeks later in the gardens of Nottingham Cottage. By her 37th birthday, Meghan was a member of the royal family and spent the day at the wedding of Harry’s close friends, Charlie van Straubenzee and Daisy Jenks. In 2019, she celebrated her first birthday as a new mother to baby Archie, with a beautiful tiered carrot cake from the Luminary Bakery.
In 2020, Meghan’s 39th birthday was a quiet affair due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Sussexes’ move to the US. However, for her 40th birthday in 2021, she launched the 40×40 initiative, encouraging people to dedicate 40 minutes of their time to support women re-entering the workforce. As she turns 43 this year, Meghan continues to inspire and empower others through her philanthropic efforts and dedication to important social causes.
The Duchess of Sussex’s birthday celebrations are a mix of family gatherings, intimate moments with friends, and meaningful initiatives to support women worldwide. Despite stepping back from royal duties, Meghan remains committed to making a positive impact on society and using her platform for good. Her upcoming birthday is sure to be a reflection of her values, surrounded by loved ones and with a focus on making a difference in the world.
