The Queen has shared birthday wishes for her granddaughter-in-law, the Duchess of Sussex, on her 40th birthday on Wednesday.
Three gorgeous photos of Meghen were posted on the royal family's social media accounts, along with a sweet caption that read: "Wishing The Duchess of Sussex a very Happy Birthday today!"
The first showed the Duchess with the monarch on their first joint engagement together in Chester in June 2018, with Her Majesty in a green coat and Meghan looking elegant in a Givenchy dress with a cape.
The second Prince Harry and Meghan on their tour of Africa with baby Archie in September 2019 and a third showed the couple applauding at the Endeavour Awards in 2020, one of their final royal engagements.
