The Duchess of Sussex is celebrating her 41st birthday on Thursday, and it turns out Meghan shares her special day with another very notable royal – the Queen Mother.
King George VI's late wife was born on 4 August 1900 in Hitchin, and 81 years later Prince Harry's wife Meghan arrived into the world in Los Angeles.

Meghan is thought to be celebrating her special day in private where she'll no doubt be spoilt rotten by her husband Prince Harry and their two adorable children Archie, three, and Lilibet, who turned one in June.
