The birthday celebrations of Meghan Markle this August 4th The Duchess of Sussex will not include anyone from the Windsor clan among their guests, except for Harry. No one else from her in-laws will be there. The Duchess of Sussex will probably celebrate the occasion with a low-key evening surrounded by her mother, her husband and her children, and her closest friends. However, according to former royal butler Grant Harrold, both King Charles and Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales will have the courtesy to congratulate the actress on her anniversary and it is even possible that she will receive a gift with the royal address at her residence in California. Prince Harry’s wife will spend this special day with her husband and her children and it is likely that they will receive a group of friends and enjoy a barbecue prepared by Diana’s son. Lady Di was only 36 years old when the car she was traveling in crashed in Paris. Meghan turns 43.
Harrold, the source cited by the Post to preview what Meghan’s birthday will look like, worked as a butler to the now King Charles III for seven years and has stated that the prince Harry is hosting a barbecue at home for his wife on her special day. “He’s a gentleman and a good cook,” she says. “He’s pretty conventional in that respect.” “They like to throw parties and enjoy outdoor summer barbecues.”
Tensions between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family skyrocketed after the actress and the Prince of Wales’s younger brother gave up her role and her honors in 2020, when they moved to the US. Today there is virtually no communication between the Sussex clan and Buckinghamalthough the source consulted believes that at least Prince William and Kate Middleton will send a congratulatory message to the duchess. “I have no doubt about that,” he says in the Post. “It is difficult to say whether it will be an email, a phone call or a birthday card, given the gap that exists.”
“I also think the King and Queen will send their birthday wishes,” he added. The former butler said the monarch and his wife try to maintain good manners and stay “above everything that’s happened” because, in the end, “they’re still family,” he added. “I don’t think that will change, despite everything that’s happened.” Harrold said it wouldn’t be a surprise for Markle to receive a gift from the palace. “They could also send a present but, given everything that’s happened, there may not be one,” he added. “I imagine it would be a piece of jewelry or something from the royal collection, possibly a gift of an item that once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II.” “They say blood is thicker than water, so I think the whole family will send their wishes and possibly a gift,” he added.
Dressed casually (he in a white shirt and jacket, she in a makeup-colored outfit) and sitting on two chairs, Harry and Meghan will appear this Sunday, on the Duchess’s 43rd birthday, in Sunday Morningthe CBS program. The couple will have a chat with the journalist Jane Pauleywhom they welcomed into their own home and with whom they shared their concern about the dangers that the virtual world poses for young people.

The Sussexes talk about their two children, Archie y LillibetThey don’t usually do it but the occasion requires it: “Our kids are little, they’re 3 and 5 years old. They’re amazing and all you want to do as a parent is protect them,” says Harry of England. “And as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know there’s a lot of work to be done there.”he points out. The son of Charles III adds: “It’s important to know how to help. Parents should be the first to respond to the problem, because even the best ‘first responders’ in the world might not be able to detect the signs of a possible suicide.”he continued. “That’s the scary part of this.”
It should be remembered that Harry and Meghan confessed, in that famous and controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey, to having experienced suicide very close to home. Unfortunately, it was an idea that crossed the Duchess’s mind during her darkest period at Buckingham: “I wanted to take my life. I thought it would all end and that was what scared me the most, that I saw it very clearly,” he said through tears three years ago. “She was devastated, we were both suffering, but I didn’t think it would reach that level,” he said.
