Overview
- Meghan thanked followers on Instagram and shared black-and-white photos of herself jumping into a pool along with short videos filmed by Prince Harry, with the posts published on Tuesday during her 45th birthday celebrations.
- A light-hearted clip from the couple showed them trying to put small party hats on their two dogs, Pula and Mia, with the pets refusing to cooperate and Harry heard laughing in the background.
- Fashion designer Tracy Robbins posted images revealing a two-tier mahjong-themed cake and called Meghan her “partner in crime,” highlighting the duchess’s ongoing hobby with her close-knit ‘Maj Squad’ friends.
- Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever published a branded birthday tribute that included a childhood photo and a reference to a product candle, illustrating how personal moments were accompanied by commercial ties.
- Buckingham Palace accounts did not post a public birthday message, a choice outlets trace to a 2022 rule that limits official social birthday wishes for non-working royals to milestone decades, and coverage of the posts ranged from affectionate human-interest stories to critics who questioned the optics of the celebrations.
