Meghan Markle Marks 44th Birthday With Brand Tribute, Netflix Talks

Meghan Markle celebrated her 44th birthday with a heartfelt tribute from her lifestyle brand As Ever, which posted a black-and-white photo praising her vision and dedication, alongside announcing a restock of her Napa Valley Rosé wine. Despite this, the royal family has again snubbed her birthday on official channels, continuing a pattern since 2022 linked to tensions following the Sussexes' departure from royal duties and their critical Netflix series. Close friend and fellow Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, who shares the same birthday, publicly honored Meghan with a touching Instagram message calling her "champagne in human form" and expressing deep gratitude for their friendship that dates back to 2011. Spencer has been a steadfast supporter of Meghan through public controversies and was present at significant milestones like Meghan's royal wedding and baby shower. Meanwhile, Meghan continues to expand her brand and entertainment ventures, including negotiating to extend her Netflix partnership and starring in her cooking and lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan. Reports suggest the Sussexes may be mending relations with the royal family ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, signaling potential future rapprochement.
