As the Duchess of Sussex turns 43, she will undoubtedly be surrounded by her closest family and friends in California. Since stepping down as working royals in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry have been living a more private life in Montecito. The couple has been known to enjoy date nights at local spots like Lucky’s Steakhouse and Tre Lune, where Meghan celebrated her 42nd birthday.
Meghan is a devoted mother to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and it is likely that there will be family celebrations at their Montecito home. Her mother, Doria Ragland, is sure to be in attendance for the special day. Meghan’s friends also hold a special place in her heart, and a girls’ lunch may be on the agenda to mark her birthday.
Last year, Meghan had a belated birthday gathering with her close friends Kadi Lee and Cleo Wade. Recently, she attended a business summit in the Hamptons with fashion designer Misha Nonoo and makeup artist Bobbi Brown. Fans are eagerly anticipating the launch of Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which she hinted at on Instagram earlier this year.
Throughout the years, Meghan has celebrated her birthday in various ways. Prince Harry famously whisked her away to Botswana for her 36th birthday in 2017, just before their engagement. By her 37th birthday, Meghan was a member of the royal family and spent the day at a friend’s wedding. In 2019, she celebrated her first birthday as a mother to baby Archie, with a beautiful carrot cake from Luminary Bakery.
Meghan’s 39th birthday in 2020 was a more subdued affair, as it fell during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sussexes had recently made the move to the US after their decision to step back from royal duties. However, Meghan made a big impact on her 40th birthday in 2021 by launching her 40×40 initiative, encouraging people to support women re-entering the workforce.
Meghan Markle’s 43rd birthday is sure to be a special day filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments. As she continues to carve out her own path outside of the royal family, her birthday celebrations reflect her dedication to family, friends, and important causes. Here’s to another year of joy and success for the Duchess of Sussex!
