The duchess is celebrating her 41st birthday and is likely to mark her big day privately with husband Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet, in California where they live.

William and Kate’s official twitter account posted an image of the duchess attending the St Paul’s Cathedral service of thanksgiving in June that marked the Queen’s 70-year reign.

Following an exciting – and then, heartbreaking – couple of weeks watching England win the quarter final and then lose their final in the Euros, Prince George has reason to celebrate again as he has turn eight-years-old on July 22, 2021.

Even the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge can’t quite handle the age of their eldest son with the couple’s Instagram caption referencing that George would be turning ‘eight (!)’.

The photo was taken earlier this month in Norfolk by George’s mother Kate Middleton and many are remarking on just how similar he looks to his father, Prince William.

‘He looks so much like his Dad,’ one Instagram commenter wrote while another said: ‘He looks more like William every day.’

It featured the words: “Wishing a happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!”

Charles and Camilla’s Twitter account posted a similar image of Meghan from the service alongside a balloon emoji and the words “Happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex!”

Meghan and Harry have established a new life for themselves in the celebrity enclave of Montecito in California, buying a multimillion-pound home and launching a non-profit foundation, after stepping down as working royals for financial freedom.

The couple have also signed lucrative deals – thought to be worth well over £100 million – with Spotify and Netflix which have given them the capital to pursue their new lifestyle and public goals.
