What began as a seemingly harmless birthday gesture has unexpectedly reignited discussions about old royal tensions — and once again placed Meghan Markle at the center of the conversation.
On July 18, 2025 — the same day Queen Camilla celebrated her 78th birthday — the Duchess of Sussex posted a short video to her Instagram Story. In it, she’s seen opening a wooden crate containing bottles of her new rosé wine from her As Ever Napa Valley label. Set to the 1961 classic “Please Mr. Postman” by The Marvelettes, the clip was brief and understated. Yet, it featured a caption that caught the public’s attention: “Happy birthday to all the beautiful women out there — near and far,” followed by a white heart emoji.
No names were mentioned. No overt reference was made to the Queen. But the timing — and the wording — proved enough to set off a wave of speculation online.
Across platforms like Instagram and Facebook, users debated whether Meghan’s message was a subtle nod to Queen Camilla, a calculated publicity move, or simply a general well-wish on a day that happened to coincide with the Queen’s birthday. “Wait, she’s wishing Queen Camilla happy birthday??” one Instagram comment asked. Another person chimed in, “Looks like it. They are so desperate to be back with the RF [Royal Family]!”

Not all responses were critical. One user defended the Duchess, writing, “And if she didn’t say happy birthday, y’all would be yelling she was rude.” Another questioned the backlash altogether: “She didn’t even mention anyone. Why are people reaching so hard?”
Still, skepticism lingered. On Facebook, commenters labeled the video “tacky” and “a grab for publicity,” with one person writing, “If it was genuine, she wouldn’t be filming it.” Another added, “Being nice to a family member… buttering up for something.”
