Meghan Markle is likely to celebrate her special day in a relatively low key way.
It’s a day for celebration in Montecito as Meghan Markle marks her 43rd birthday, with Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet sure to make her feel special.
But the Duchess of Sussex has chosen her big day this year to shine a light on cyber bullying in a new interview she and Prince Harry have done with CBS Sunday Morning.

The chat with Jane Pauley will air in the US on the morning of Meghan’s birthday as the Sussexes open up about their quest to protect children online.
Besides the couple’s TV interview, the Sussexes are expected to celebrate Meghan’s birthday in a rather low-key way.
The pair have been living in California with their young family for the past four years, and tend to keep a low profile in the exclusive town where they reside.

Meghan is celebrating turning 43 today
They have been known to hang out at some of the area’s swankiest restaurants, such as Tre Lune (where Meghan marked her 42nd birthday last year) and Lucky’s Steakhouse, so they could be enjoying a celebratory meal out tonight.
Meghan and Harry’s children will no doubt be enjoying the birthday fun at home too, as will her mother Doria Ragland whom she is extremely close to.
Her friendships are also very important to Meghan so a girls’ hangout could be on the cards, similarly to last year when she had a belated birthday lunch with hair colourist Kadi Lee and author Cleo Wade.
PR expert Mayah Riaz told The Mirror last year that Meghan would likely prefer a quiet celebration for her birthday with just her family and close friends.

She said: “[The celebrations] will possibly be quite toned down this year and likely to be a private affair. It’s quite possible that Meghan will spend the day of her actual birthday at home in Montecito, surrounded by her two children, Prince Harry, possibly her mother Doria and their rescue dogs.”
In 2022, a representative of the Sussexes told Us Weekly: “The Duchess is enjoying a lovely birthday this year with her family and dear friends.”
For her 40th birthday in 2021, Meghan decided to go big and launch her 40×40 campaign through Archewell, which helps women getting back into the workforce after the COVID-19 pandemic.
