Meghan Markle's brand sends her gushing birthday message as pals share unseen photos
Meghan Markle's own lifestyle brand sent her a gushing birthday message as she celebrated turning 44.
The Duchess of Sussex marked her birthday yesterday but has been completely silent on her own Instagram account for almost a month. But to mark her special day, her As Ever lifestyle brand shared a new image of Meghan smiling as he wears a dress and sun hat in the garden.
The message to Meghan read: "Celebrating the woman behind it all. She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder." It comes after claims Prince Harry 'admits he is still part of the Royal Family and finally sees sense'.
Meanwhile, As Ever wasn't the only Instagram account to share unseen photos of Meghan as many of her celebrity pals took to the platfrom to wish her a happy birthday.
Among them was her Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, who featured on the Netflix show With Love, Meghan with her pal. Sharing a selection of snaps of them together, Abigail wrote: "As glorious as the day I met you. Champagne in human form. A creature unlike any other. Thank you for being a sister in this life, and beyond. Words can't capture. From the rooftops. So grateful for your life, @meghan. Thanks for saving mine. Love, Abs.
And in a rare comment, Meghan replied: "Thank you, sweet Abs! Right back at you, and happy birthday to YOU!"
Jamie Kern Lima, who invited Meghan on to her podcast also shared a snap of the pair with the message: "Happy Birthday @meghan Wonder had so much fun making this for you! Can't wait to see what we learn on Season 2 of your show! Thank you for being love, light and such a generous friend to everyone you meet!"
Fellow pal Tracy Robbins posted a photo of her and Meghan enjoying cocktails with the message: "Happy birthday my dear @meghan Oh how I can laugh and dance with you like no other. You are sunshine in a bottle! Thank you for always making time to be such a loving and connected friend no matter what's going on in your life. You dance through this life with so much grace, light and love! I hope your wee posse of 3 are smothering you with hugs and kisses today my dear! Happiest of birthdays M!'
While her make-up artist Daniel Martin, who also appeared in With Love, Meghan, wrote: "HBD sis!" alongside a snap of Meghan with her dog Mia.
It is not known exactly how Meghan marked her birthday but it is likely that any celebrations would have included her husband Prince Harry as well as their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. At the weekend she joined Harry at the beach near their home as they watched six-year-old Archie take part in a surfing lesson.
The past 12 months have marked many major changes for Meghan, especially since the dawn of 2025, with the launch of her new Instagram account, lifestyle brand as well as her Netflix cookery show.
However, one thing has remained - Meghan and Prince Harry's long-running rift with the Royal Family following their dramatic departure from the Firm. It comes as news that Harry will 'never be forgiven' by two major royals despite reconciliation hope.
And for royal expert Jennie Bond, while Harry will be keen to make his wife's special day as memorable as it can be, she believes the same can't be said for the rest of the Royal Family.
The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror: "I definitely thought that being 44 was a bit of a nondescript birthday, not particularly worthy of a special celebration. But I'm sure that Harry will want to make a fuss of his wife on her special day.
"As far as I can see, he is still head over heels in love with Meghan and will probably organise a romantic dinner or perhaps a beach party with friends and lots of children to celebrate their happy family life in California. Maybe a sunrise yoga session would set the day up rather nicely!
"I don't think Meghan should hold her breath for birthday messages from the Royal family, though it may well be that Princess Eugenie- and possibly Beatrice - will send a present or a card."
Meghan's small hiatus from social media comes despite her lifestyle brand As Ever continues to post on the platform, with announcement last week she will be selling another batch of her rose wine.
And Jennie added: "I think Meghan deserves to be pretty happy with how this year has gone so far. Whatever she does or says gets slammed in the media, but she has built up a substantial social media following in very little time, the products that she endorses or sells seem to do exceptionally well, and her TV and podcast shows — although clearly not ground breaking – – are perfectly watchable, however much her critics like to pan them."

Aaron Chalmers' son may need wheelchair as ex cries over heartbreaking health condition
Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers' ex, Talia Oatway, has given a heartbreaking health update on their son, Oakley, three, who was born with Apert Syndrome Aaron Chalmers' ex, Talia Oatway, has revealed their little boy, Oakley, may need a wheelchair in heartbreaking news. Little Oakley, three, was born with Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder, which causes the skull, hands and foot bones to fuse together. Sharing recent photos of her son, Talia, who split up from her Geordie Shore star ex shortly after Oakley was born, admitted she 'cries a lot' as she gave an emotional update on the tot's progress. It comes after singer, Jessie J, updated fans on her health after being rushed to hospital with an infection and fluid on her lungs, weeks after breast cancer surgery. Responding to a follower on Instagram, who told Talia how amazing it was to see Oakley taking his first steps in a video his proud mum had shared online, the model said he may end up depending on a wheelchair, explaining: "Ah thank you, he will only walk outside for a very very short time (like a few minutes) at home he walks more. "The bones on the bottom of his feet are becoming more prominent, which is where I need to keep an eye on. "A lot of Apert children require feet surgery and depend on wheelchairs at times. This is due to the bones on the bottom of their feet causing pain up to their backs." Later on in the Q&A, Talia was told how "amazing", but she replied: "Thank you, I honestly don't think I'm strong. I am very emotional at times. I cry a lot especially in situations where I can't get my point across or when I'm overwhelmed. "I have tried to hold my emotions in as much as I can especially when the kids are around." Aaron and Talia welcomed Oakley into the world in February 2022. The former couple also share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three. They got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley's birth. Aaron, who found fame on MTV's Geordie Shore, made his debut with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in April. Speaking to the Mirror about how he struggled to cope after Oakley was born, he said: "Everything was going in the right direction, and then after my last fight in the November - a few days later my cousin died, who was literally my best mate, my brother. He passed away and I just went on a slippery slope. I started drinking f***ing really, really badly. Drinking badly. "And then leading into 2024, my son… As I was trying to get myself back on the straight and narrow, my son went into hospital. It was meant to be a routine head surgery, and he was in a coma and he was in Liverpool fighting for his life for eight weeks, and I just didn't deal with it."

Coronation Street icon dyes hair ahead of making major comeback this week
Catherine Tyldesley is set to reprise her role as blonde bombshell Eva Price on Coronation Street, and has gone back to her character's signature colour in time for filming Catherine Tyldesley has dyed her hair in time for her return to Coronation Street. The actress, 41, is set to be make a major comeback onto the ITV soap as she returns to her signature role of Eva Price, seven years on from her initial exit. During her initial stint on the cobbles, Eva sported platinum blonde locks but after she quit the soap, Catherine quickly went back to her natural brunette colour as she competed on Strictly Come Dancing. She kept the darker look as she took on roles in shows such as Scarborough and Viewpoint but an Instagram post on Tuesday revealed that she is a blonde once again. The actress shared two snaps of herself posing with friends as she headed out for dinner, in Manchester and The Sun reports that the outing comes just days before she is supposed to making a return to the set at MediaCityUK to begin filming. Catherine, who was a brunette when she took on her first big role in the BBC drama Lilies prior to joining Coronation Street, previously explained that bosses just felt that it was right that barmaid Eva would have blonde hair. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. In 2019, she explained during an interview on Lorraine: "When I first started Corrie I'd done a sketch show and was blonde. They felt Eva was blonde and so did I. I keep walking past windows and mirror and think 'Oh!' and forget I've done it. A lady came up to me and said I think you should be blonde." Reports surrounding the return of Leanne Battersby's sister emerged earlier this year, but then nothing was announced. Fresh reports just last week claimed the planned plot was now approaching. It's thought that the move has come about after EastEnders bosses revealed that Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) will be taking the reins of the Queen Victoria pub. Aaron McCusker, who starred as Freddie Mercury's boyfriend in the film Bohemian Rhapsody, is reportedly set to arrive alongside her as her new husband. A source told The Sun: "Corrie bosses were never going to take EastEnders shrewd decision to reinstate Kat and Alfie at the Vic lying down. So they took their time looking for the perfect actor to play her husband to Eva as she makes her return to Corrie as the new boss of the Rovers." The insider added that Corrie bosses knew they had found the 'perfect' actor as soon as the Irish-born star walked into the room. They added of his character: "Aaron's character is also someone not to be messed with, and the locals are going to be in for a shock if they think they can take advantage of his good nature and that cheeky Irish charm. "It's the start of an exciting new chapter in the pub's history." Aaron is also known for his role as Jamie Maguire in Shameless, whilst Catherine has starred in The Good Ship Murder and earlier this year appeared opposite Siobhan Finneran in an episode of the ITV drama Protection. She was also set to star in a cancelled touring production of Bonnie and Clyde: The Musical last year and went viral over a social media scandal known as Cakegate in late 2023. The actress first appeared on Coronation Street in 2011 as the daughter of Stella Price (Michelle Collins), who had arrived to take over the pub herself and also reveal herself as the long-lost mother of Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson). Over the course of seven years, Catherine saw her alter-ego through numerous relationships with the likes of Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas), Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) and Nick Tilsey (Ben Price). Her most notable relationship was with Aidan Connor (Shayne Ward), but that started to go awry when he began an affair with Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon). Instead of confronting Aidan head-on about his infidelity, she took revenge by putting a bright pink Range Rover on his credit card and then decided to fake a pregnancy. Maria discovered Eva's lies and exposed them all at the wedding but Eva later discovered that she was in fact pregnant with Aidan's baby. In order to go through with the birth in secret, she went off to a remote cottage and had planned to give baby Susie away to Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor). However, Aidan later took his own life and Eva began to grow close to her daughter, eventually opting to leave in the back of a taxi with her for good. If Eva does return and take over the Rovers, she will be following in the footsteps of former characters such as Annie Walker (Doris Speed), Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear) and Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard), all of whom have helmed the nation's most famous pub over the course of the show's history. One such landlady is Jenny Connor, who is confirmed to be leaving the ITV soap.
