Meghan Markle‘s birthday surprise reportedly became another online flashpoint after she wore a glittering tiara at home. The Duchess of Sussex marked her 45th birthday in Montecito with kitchen dancing, balloons, and videos filmed by Prince Harry. A new report said some critics mocked the accessory as looking “like a queen.” Others argued she was simply enjoying a private family moment that became public because of Instagram.
Meghan Markle reportedly celebrated 45th birthday with tiara
As per RadarOnline, Meghan Markle celebrated on Tuesday, August 4. Earlier, the former “Suits” actress posted black-and-white pool photos with balloons. She captioned them, “Thank you for the birthday love!” Later, her Instagram Stories showed her barefoot in the kitchen.
She wore loose white pajamas with “It’s giving Mrs.” on the shirt. Prince Harry could be heard behind the camera saying, “Oh dear.” Meanwhile, the tiara surprise drove much of the reaction. RadarOnline said Meghan wore a novelty tiara over a bun.
A source said the clips were meant to show “a relaxed birthday at home.” However, the insider said, “anything Meghan posts attracts intense scrutiny.” Some viewers saw the tiara as “a fun birthday accessory.”
Others read it differently because of her royal background. The source said people asked why she was “sauntering around” in a “Queen-style tiara.” RadarOnline also noted that the birthday posts followed Meghan’s return to sharing more personal updates online. The report said her social media now included family moments, lifestyle content, and project updates.
Still, the report said the reaction split sharply. One X user wrote, “Seriously? I thought this was fake.” Another said, “She should be embarrassed.”
However, supporters argued the backlash was too much for a harmless video. RadarOnline also said the footage showed breakfast on a kitchen island. In another clip, dogs Mia and Pula wore birthday hats as Harry laughed again. For the “Suits” actor, the surprise was light at home, but heavy online.
