While it's unclear exactly how the Duchess spent her 41st birthday, Meghan's spokesperson gave an update to Entertainment Tonight about how Meghan celebrated her day. They said, “Meghan Markle is spending the day celebrating with family and close friends." While similarly, a rep for the Sussexes told Us Weekly, “the duchess is enjoying a lovely birthday this year with her family and dear friends.”
Though there were no paparazzi photos of the Duchess celebrating the big day, members of the royals were keen to show their support.
The Duchess was celebrated on social media by the rest of Royal Family, who sent their birthday well wishes.

The Queen, however, didn't wish Meghan a happy birthday publicly, sparking some critics to view the lack of birthday wishes as a 'snub'. However, one royal expert argues this is simply down to royal protocol.
The Daily Express' royal correspondent Richard Palmer explained, "The Queen's website neglected to mention the big day after deciding it will only mark the birthdays of non-working members of the family when they end in a zero."
