Meghan Markle is celebrating her 43rd birthday on Sunday, August 4, and King Charles and Queen Camilla might reach out to the Duchess of Sussex in honor of her big day.
Meghan Markle left the royal fold in 2020.
“Harry will make sure that Meghan is celebrated. I think they will get messages from the King and the Queen, whether that be electronically or by old-fashioned mail, I still think the King and Queen will still send birthday messages," Grant Harrold said on behalf of Slingo. "I don’t think that will change certainly despite everything that’s happened."
In the past, the royals honored the Duchess of Sussex's special day on X, formerly known as Twitter, but in recent years, the official royals account only highlights working royals.
Meghan Markle retired from acting in 2017 to join the royal family.
Although the former royal butler thinks Charles and Camilla will acknowledge Meghan's big day, he isn't sure if they'll send a present.
“I doubt there will be any public wishes made, they used to post on social media but that hasn’t happened in the past few years, and I doubt that will change. They may send a gift as well, but given everything that has happened, there might not be. If they were all still getting on, I can imagine it would be a piece of jewelry or something from the royal collection, possibly a hand-me-down from the late Queen.”

Aside from the Duchess of Sussex's upcoming celebration, a source claimed that Meghan's reality drastically changed when she joined the royal fold. OK! previously reported an insider claimed Harry recognizes how much the former actress lost when adjusting to being a working duchess.
"Harry often feels guilty for Meghan having to give up on her dream life, and he knows how much she sacrificed to marry him and have a family with him, so he will support her no matter what," an insider told an outlet.
"Meghan has made no secret of how much she misses her carefree life when she was an actress," the source continued. "While she'd never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that she wishes she could just get her old life back."

Although Meghan retired from acting in 2017 to become a working royal, she is back to working in Hollywood as a producer.
"She has quite a few work commitments coming up but this is just the beginning of Meghan's big comeback, and she'll be doing things on her terms," a source explained.
"She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her — she'd get invited to all the exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers but there was so much less scrutiny and attention and there was no pressure on her," the source shared.
Despite the rumors about their new normal, the Sussexes gushed over being based in California during their trip to Nigeria.
"We’re just doing great. And happy to be watching our family grow up and evolve. Of course, I'm happy. We're really happy," Meghan said.
"You know what Africa means to me over the years. It is a very, very special place, and to be able to include Nigeria now [in the Invictus Games], I’m very happy," Harry noted. "That experience of knowing what life, post-injury, is like gives people so much hope. And hope, hope, hope is a huge part of this."
