Today, the world is wishing Meghan Markle (opens in new tab) a very happy birthday. The Duchess of Sussex is celebrating her 38th birthday today, reportedly with a low-key, family-oriented (opens in new tab), private get together with the royal family at Balmoral (there are even reports that Queen Elizabeth is throwing Meghan a special birthday tea (opens in new tab) at the royal family's Scottish castle).
The less private way the royal family is celebrating? On Instagram. Several members of the royal family have taken to social media to share very public birthday wishes for the Duchess of Sussex (opens in new tab), but the most special message of all was sneakily hidden in the caption for Sussex Royal (opens in new tab)'s birthday post for Meghan.
Her husband, Prince Harry, included a personal message for his wife in the photo's caption:
"Happy Birthday to my amazing wife. Thank you for joining me on this adventure! - Love, H"
