Today is Meghan Markle's birthday and the duchess is reportedly celebrating the day with family at the Queen's favorite vacation spot, Balmoral Castle. Queen Elizabeth herself is even said to be planning a special birthday tea for Meghan, because the Duchess of Sussex is nothing if not loved by everyone in her life, including her royal in-laws.
This morning, the Sussex Royal Instagram account kicked off the birthday love fest with a special message for the duchess. Meghan's husband, Prince Harry, even sneakily included a special, personal birthday message for his wife in the post's caption.
"Wishing HRH The Duchess of Sussex a very Happy Birthday 🎂," Sussex Royal wrote, along with a photo of Meghan from her royal tour of Australia and New Zealand last fall.
"Happy Birthday to my amazing wife. Thank you for joining me on this adventure! - Love, H," Harry added in the post's caption.
