Meghan Markle gushes over Prince Harry with eye-popping emoji on his birthday

Meghan Markle has shared a tribute to her husband Prince Harry as he celebrates his 41st birthday today.

The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram as she shared a photo from Harry's military days of him posing to the camera, alongside the caption: "Oh hi, Birthday boy", with the flame emoji.

The photo was taken during a RAF flypast at Goodwood Aerodrome in West Sussex in 2015 to mark the 75th anniversary of victory in the Battle of Britain. The event took place one year before Harry and Meghan started dating. 

Meghan’s post comes after she celebrated her husband’s return from his UK trip and his surprise visit to Ukraine, with a plug of her brand As Ever. Using her business page to celebrate Harry's return instead of her personal account, Meghan was seen pouring two glasses of her brand's rose wine in the garden. The caption across the screen reads: "When your beau is back in town..."

The message is a subtle shift from Meghan's recent strategy of posting frequently about her husband and family on her personal page, as she has instead chosen to pay tribute to her husband on her As Ever platform.

Meghancelebrated Harry’s return after his whirlwind four-day trip to the UK, in which he attended a number of charity events and reunited with his father King Charles for the first time since February 2024.

Before returning to his home in California, Harry rounded off his trip abroad with a visit to Ukraine, where he gave a new bombshell interview. In the candid chat to The Guardian, he insisted he has a "clear conscience" when it comes to the scathing revelations he's made about his family and revealed his father Charles is now his "main focus".

During the lengthy interview, the Duke of Sussex reflected on Spare and his work on various Netflix programmes. These, Harry argued, were his and Meghan's attempts at correcting "one point of view".

"I don't believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear," Harry said.

Last week, when asked how the meeting with his father went at Clarence House on Wednesday afternoon, Harry said: "Yes he's great, thank you." The estranged father and son met for tea after months of speculation on whether the pair could reunite during the Duke's trip, with the meeting lasting for 55 minutes.

Elsewhere in the interview, Harry addressed claims that he is "miserable" with his new life out in Montecito, where he lives with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Speaking to the publication, he disputed the accusations, saying: "I am very happy with who I am and I like the life that I live."
