Meghan Markle took a moment to share a heartfelt message on Instagram Tuesday, expressing her gratitude to Prince Harry and loved ones as she celebrated her 44th birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex, whose birthday fell on Monday, posted a photo of herself blowing out candles on her cake, eyes closed in quiet reflection.
“Blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours, and thanking my husband, friends and family for making it so special,” she wrote in the caption.
She also reached out to her fans with appreciation, adding, “To those of you I don’t know, but who send love every day — thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it.”

A Taste of Glamour at Beverly Hills Hotspot
Meghan gave followers a glimpse into her birthday celebration, which took place at the renowned Beverly Hills restaurant Funke — a favorite among A-list names like Kim Kardashian, Michelle Obama, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Jennifer Lopez, and Matt Damon.
Lightly teasing her followers, Meghan joked that she was about to “get a little foodie on” as she revealed the upscale location. The restaurant is helmed by chef Evan Funke, also known for launching Felix Trattoria in Los Angeles.
Her birthday post came just after Pamela Anderson spoke out about similarities between Meghan’s cooking show With Love, Meghan and Anderson’s own series Cooking With Love — though Meghan kept the mood light and focused on celebration.
