Meghan Markle's potential birthday gift from Kate Middleton: Reasons Examined
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, celebrated her 44th birthday on August 4, 2025, in an intimate setting surrounded by her husband Prince Harry, their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and close friends. A heartwarming photo of Meghan blowing out candles on a cake adorned with yellow flowers was shared on her Instagram account, where she expressed her gratitude to her husband, friends, and family for making the day special [1].
Despite the reported tensions between Meghan and the Royal Family since she and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, it is believed that members of the Royal Family, including King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, and Princess Kate, are expected to send their best wishes to Meghan on her birthday [2]. Former Royal butler Grant Harrold speculated that King Charles might offer Meghan something special, such as jewelry or a holiday [2].
However, there is no public confirmation of specific gifts from Prince Harry, and Meghan did not mention any gifts in her Instagram post. She simply expressed her gratitude to her husband and others for making her birthday special [1][2].
The exact nature of the gifts that Meghan may receive from the Royal Family, if any, remains undisclosed. Similarly, the specific role that Princess Kate will play in sending gifts and wishes to Meghan is not known. The Royal Family has not made any public statements regarding Meghan's birthday, and it is expected that any greetings will be private [2].
Meghan and her family celebrated her birthday in Los Angeles, marking a continuation of their post-royal life. Despite the ongoing feud, it appears that Meghan may still receive gifts from the Royal Family on her birthday, albeit in a private capacity.
