Meghan Markle has shared a gushing birthday tribute to her ‘birthday boy’ husband Prince Harry in an Instagram post.
The Montecito-based Duchess of Sussex took to the platform to mark his turning 41 on Monday – with a throwback snap from 10 years ago.
In it, the Duke, can be seen staring the camera down after walking on the airfield at Goodwood Aerodrome in 2015, as he was shown a Spitfire Aircraft.
Captioning the picture taken on his birthday a decade passed, the mother-of-two added a fire emoji.
Harry returned to America for his special day following a trip to the UK, where he reconciled with his father, King Charles, before visiting Kyiv, Ukraine.
Last year, the royal spent his birthday weekend at a charity tennis tournament in honour of one of his wife Meghan’s closest friends.
The couple appeared at the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament in Los Angeles in honour of Kelly McKee Zajfen’s late son George.
It comes after Meghan celebrated the return of her ‘beau’ Prince Harry by touting her $30 wine on Instagram – after his four-day visit to the UK resulted in a reunion with his father.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, commemorated the Duke’s return to Montecito – just in time for his 41st birthday today – with a marketing-savvy post on the As Ever social media page.
In the Instagram Story, the mother-of-two can be seen pouring two glasses of the latest rendition of her own brand of rosé, which still appears to have not sold out online, on an ornately adorned wooden board outside, surrounded by flowers.

The sweet personal sentiment, accented by a glossy product snap, was followed by other reshares of fans sampling Meghan’s myriad of products, including her jam, marmalade and crepes.
The entrepreneurial post comes amid a poignant time for the Royal Family, with Harry meeting King Charles face-to-face for the first time in 19 months; before making a trip to Ukraine in which he defended his recent run of interviews and the publication of tell-all book Spare.
The Duke of Sussex described the monarch as doing well after a long-awaited reconciliation meeting at Clarence House.
On Wednesday, he said of Charles, ‘Yes he’s great, thank you’ when asked about the catch-up during a reception for the Invictus Games, which he launched in 2014 as a tournament for injured service personnel and veterans.
Appearing relaxed, smiling and upbeat, Harry mingled with corporate sponsors and government ministers as he attended the event in The Gherkin, London, on September 10 ahead of a speech outlining the next 10 years of the Games.
The prince arrived at the event 40 minutes later than planned after travelling directly from a private tea with his father, which lasted for 55 minutes.
It was their first meeting in 19 months since the Duke flew to the UK to see Charles in February 2024.
Harry was spotted being driven into the royal residence in a black Range Rover before leaving in the same car just under an hour later.

Charles had flown to the capital after a stay at Balmoral in Aberdeenshire, and flew down without the Queen.
I didn’t air any dirty laundry in public – my conscience is clear, says Prince Harry during visit to Ukraine: Duke reveals he wants to spend more time in the UK in the next year as ‘the focus really has to be on my dad’
Harry, his driver, and bodyguard were said to have used the visitor’s entrance to Clarence House – rather than entering via the gate on The Mall which is used by members of the Royal Family.
It was the first time the prince had seen his father in 19 months. Although he says the ‘focus really has to be on my dad’ in the next year, he told The Guardian during an interview in Kyiv, his ‘conscience is clear’.
And he appeared to make a thinly veiled swipe at his brother Prince William as he said: ‘You cannot have reconciliation before you have truth.’
He added: ‘I know that (speaking out) annoys some people and it goes against the narrative.
‘The book? It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected.’
He added: ‘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.’
‘It is not about revenge, it is about accountability,’ he says.

Harry’s 416-page tome Spare made a series of jaw-dropping claims and laid bare the rift within the Royal Family.
One accusation aimed at his brother accused William of leaving Harry with visible ‘scrapes and bruises’ after an alleged attack.
He claimed: ‘(William) grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.’
It also claimed William teased Harry about his panic attacks and that King Charles put his own interests above his second son, and saw Harry reference taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms and his enjoyment of the TV show Friends.
The Duke of Sussex’s controversial memoir became the UK’s fastest-selling non-fiction book ever after being published by Penguin Random House in January 2023.

He has also given a number of contentious interviews to Oprah Winfrey and the BBC that created further rifts within the family, claiming in May his father ‘won’t speak to me because of this security stuff’, referring to his failed attempts to retain Royal-level security for his UK visits.
It comes after a royal source told the Daily Mail that the past week where Harry spent four days in the UK could be the start of Harry, Meghan and their two children being part of a ‘functioning wider family again’.
The King is said to be keen to rebuild his relationship with his son and wants to spend time with his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, whom he has not seen for three years.
‘It’s become clear that Harry now regrets some of his actions. He wants to reset his relationship with his family and with the people of the UK,’ an insider has said.
‘It’s hard to see him ever coming back to live in Britain but this may be the start of something that at least allows them to be a functioning wider family again.’
It came after Prince Harry’s spokesman said he ‘loved’ being back in the UK and ‘catching up’ with his good causes and friends.
The Duke of Sussex wrapped up his trip with a visit to a charity set up in memory of his mother, one day after reuniting with the King for the first time in 19 months.
His spokesperson gave an upbeat review of the UK tour, saying: ‘He’s obviously loved being back in the UK, catching up with old friends, colleagues and just generally being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him.’
The Duke carried out his final engagement on Friday, an event linked to the Diana Award, in central London as he brought his four-day solo trip to a close.
In May, after losing his High Court battle with the Home Office, Harry himself told the BBC that he would ‘would love a reconciliation’ with the Royal Family, adding: ‘There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.’
