Thursday 4 August 2022 03:49 PM Happy birthday, Meghan Markle! Prince William and Kate Middleton share best ... trends now
Prince William and Kate Middleton and Prince Charles and Camilla shared near- identical photographs of Meghan Markle from their only public meeting with her in two years on Aug. 4, her 41st birthday.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Instagram and Twitter accounts posted a photograph of the Duchess of Sussex from the Queen's Jubilee celebrations in June alongside the simple message: 'Wishing a happy birthday to the Duchess of Sussex!'
Shortly afterward, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall went on to share a similar message and image of the mother of two.
The images selected by both couples show Meghan at the Queen's Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral and don't feature her husband, Prince Harry.
The service was the only event from the Queen's Jubilee the Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly attended. It marked the first time the couple were seen with 'The Firm' since the frosty Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in March 2020, shortly before they officially stepped down as senior royals.

Prince Harry and Meghan missed both the Platinum Jubilee Party and Pageant, as well as the Epsom Derby during the four-day festivities.
The couple made only one public appearance over the Jubilee weekend, despite flying in from the United States with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
They didn't appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping of the Color and were also seemingly relegated to the second row during the Thanksgiving service.
Palace aides were said to have choreographed timing for the Platinum Jubilee service to ensure that William and Kate didn't bump into Meghan and Harry.
