Meghan Markle rang in her 44th birthday on August 4 with Prince Harry and their two children. The Duchess of Sussex has previously expressed her love for low-key celebrations, often opting for simple pleasures like French fries with a candle on top. As midnight struck, royal fans took to social media to shower her with birthday wishes and blessings. Among the lot, many were stunned to learn her actual age, while others urged her to dish the secret behind her age-defying appearance.

As reported by PEOPLE, while Markle has not yet posted a photo or video of her birthday celebration, her lifestyle brand, As Ever, shared a black and white photo of Markle on Instagram, captioning it, "Celebrating the woman behind it all. She pours her heart, vision & magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder @meghan 🥂." Ahead of her big day, Markle was seen enjoying a day at the beach with Harry, while Prince Archie took surf lessons. She kicked off her birthday celebration by announcing the launch of her signature pink wine, following the sell-out of the first batch in under an hour on July 1.

In light of the same, a royal watcher quipped on X (formerly Twitter), "Happiest of birthdays to our gorgeous Duchess!!! Aging like fine wine..." As the comments poured in, others, too, gushed about her youthful appearance. A person remarked, "She looks sgood for her age." Another echoed, "Happy birthday to the very young, fresh & aging backward beauty Meghan, Duchess of Sussex." A fan chimed, "Happy Birthday, Meghan Sussex!! 44 doesn't look a day over 25 on you!"

Royal watchers have long asked Markle to launch a skincare line and reveal the secret to her gorgeous appearance. A netizen joked, "Meghan’s face card is lethal." As per the Daily Record, another admirer declared she simply 'couldn't believe' Markle's age because she argued the Duchess has a 'baby face.' Meanwhile, a royal fan added, "This is what happens when you drink your water and mind your own business."

After trading royal life for a more low-key lifestyle in California, Markle likely celebrated her big day with family and her close-knit circle of other A-listers. According to the Royal Insider, former royal butler Grant Harrold offered a glimpse into Markle's possible birthday celebration with Harry. He revealed that the Duke may follow royal tradition and give his wife quirky gifts on her birthday. He explained, "The royal family is famous for quirky, fun presents, so who knows. Maybe he might get her a piece of land on the moon. Or he might get her a title as a bit of a joke; you can get these Highland titles."
