Meghan Markle posted a video on her Instagram account showing birthday greetings being sent to unidentified recipients, sharing the message on the eve of Queen Camilla's 78th birthday.

The post, made on Wednesday, featured wooden boxes containing bottles of Meghan's As Ever rosé wine nestled in straw.


A subsequent clip displayed the bottles arranged with flowers and fruit.

The video revealed a carefully curated presentation, beginning with Meghan opening a wooden box to display three bottles of her rosé brand lying in decorative straw.

Lima celebrated her birthday at a Katy Perry concert with close friends.

"Celebrating my birthday with closest friends and so much love!" she wrote, thanking Perry for "an INCREDIBLE experience" and noting friends had flown across the country for her birthday week.

The friendship between Meghan and Lima extends beyond birthday gifts.

In April, the Duchess appeared as a guest on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, marking her first-ever podcast guest appearance.

Whilst Meghan has hosted two podcasts - Archetypes on Spotify in 2022 and Confessions of a Female Founder from Lemonada Media this year - this represented her debut as a podcast guest.

During the interview, Meghan went without makeup for what Lima's show described as a "raw conversation".

Topics ranged from the pressure to prove one's worth to making memories for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The wide-ranging discussion also covered how she and Prince Harry developed their nicknames, whether she might write a memoir and her thoughts on entering politics.
