Meghan Markle turns 40: Here's what the royal family had to say. (PA) Meghan Markle celebrates her 40th birthday today with her husband Prince Harry, son Archie and two-month-old daughter Lilibet. The Duchess of Sussex is reported to have hired Oprah Winfrey’s party planner ahead of birthday celebrations later this week at her LA home with Harry. A source said: “Megan wants a small gathering. About 65 people are invited, her closest friends and family." Since stepping down as working royals and moving to the US the Sussexes seem to have forged ahead with their lives. The couple have signed lucrative deals, thought to be worth well over £100 million, with Spotify and Netflix, that have given them the capital to pursue their new lifestyle and public goals.
