Meghan Markle shares throwback pic of Prince Harry on his 41st birthday

Meghan Markle knows how to make a statement. On Sunday, the Meghan marked Prince Harry’s 41st birthday with a cheeky Instagram post, sharing a throwback snap of Harry from a decade ago.

The photo, taken during Harry’s 31st birthday visit to Goodwood Aerodrome in 2015, shows him in a green jumpsuit with “Harry Wales” stitched across the chest—a nod to his father King Charles’ then-title. Meghan’s caption was short and smoldering: “Oh hi, Birthday Boy”

Since relaunching her Instagram earlier this year, Meghan has turned her feed into a scrapbook of family milestones. She’s posted tributes for Harry on Father’s Day, shared heartfelt notes on Valentine’s, and even sprinkled in playful nods to their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

This time, though, fans were quick to note the mix of humor and intimacy. The caption felt casual, even a little teasing—very much in line with the Meghan-and-Harry brand that blends royal tradition with California ease.

Harry, who told PEOPLE back in February at the Invictus Games that it was “amazing” to have Meghan “by my side,” seems to be at the center of her digital love letters. On Valentine’s Day, she gushed about being “beyond proud” of what he’s built with Invictus, signing the note with her signature “As ever, M.”

The birthday post adds another personal touch. Meghan didn’t just share a photo; she picked one from before they even met.

Married in 2018, Meghan and Harry left their senior royal roles two years later and settled in California. Archie was born in 2019, followed by Lilibet in 2021, and the family has since carved out a life far from Buckingham Palace headlines.
