The Duchess of Sussex’s 44th birthday was on Monday, August 4. She didn’t post anything on her Instagram on the day, but she posted this on Tuesday – she was blowing out the candles on her cake at an LA restaurant, Funke. Funke is yet another Italian restaurant, which must be her favorite (and probably Harry’s favorite too). The cake is really pretty and I’m glad she had a lovely birthday.
So many of Meghan’s friends here in America posted birthday messages and photos. Abigail Spencer and Tracy Robbins posted never-before-seen pics on their IG, as did other close friends. Meghan even commented on some of her friends’ IGs, thanking them for the birthday wishes. It felt quiet but not silent, and clearly, Meghan celebrated her birthday with her family and friends. So that makes the British media’s talking point/palace briefing even more funny – I’ve seen multiple royalists/Derangers try to make a certain narrative happen: “No one cares about Meghan, no one acknowledged her birthday, none of the Windsors said a word!” Sure, none of the Windsors wished her a happy birthday, but at least a dozen nasty articles were commissioned by the royals specifically for her birthday.
I’m not going to embed any of these, but I’ve also seen several of the biggest online Derangers – including Lady Colin Campbell – post bilious rants about Meghan this week. They really thought they were doing something. Meanwhile, Meghan was eating fancy cake at an LA hotspot and being celebrated by her real friends.

“ Sure, none of the Windsors wished her a happy birthday, but at least a dozen nasty articles were commissioned by the royals specifically for her birthday.”
They really are triggered by her. She lives on rats!
And as people write on here, she continues to live rent-free in their demented heads. Is Lazy stalking her birthday insta wishes?
Love the cake. Wonder what it is. And glad she acknowledged people who took the time to wish her a happy birthday. I’m sure she’s heartened by the support.
I wanted to buy a case of her wine to celebrate her birthday, and at the same time, give out a few bottles at christmas, but it doesn’t ship intl
😢 😭
I bought 6 bottles of Rose’ 😍 her birthday cake 🎂 is truly gorgeous ❤️
Who would celebrate lady Campbell’s birthday. She needs to retire
So glad she spent a wonderful birthday with family and friends! Some derangers are also saying Harry’s not in that pic, so he must have left her. As if. Anybody with an ounce of motivation can find pictures of the Sussexes on the beach watching Archie surf.
I expect Harry took the picture. The picture was of Meghan blowing out candles on a cake so why would anyone else be in the picture? We really need to start ignoring these people. Normal people don’t believe their silly rants so we don’t need take notice.
Oh I love the picture of her and Tracy, that’s so cute. It looks like she was just having fun in the moment, and wasn’t trying to be online for her birthday which is typical I think.
I’m not sure why they would think that she cares that the royals didn’t wish her a happy birthday? She hasn’t said anything about them in years, she won’t even go to the UK, you think she was hoping against hope that they would tell her happy birthday using a photo from 7 years ago because they don’t have anything more recent?
It’s hilarious to me that they call her the narcissist these commentators, but they really think that people are out here devastated that they didn’t get a Twitter or Instagram shout out by people they don’t speak to? Imagine thinking, no one loves you because I didn’t acknowledge you. And I call you the narcissist.
Love the look of that foamy cocktail. Wonder what it is.
Dee – you speak the truth about who are the actual narcissists. They really can’t accept that she doesn’t think or them or mention them. Ever. And all they do is stalk her, copy her, talk about her, obsess about her. 24/7
What a beautiful cake! So glad Meghan had a happy and peaceful birthday.
It really is a beautiful cake and a sweet picture.
Looked at the insta for the restaurant and it looks SO GOOD and very Meghan. Lots of beautiful seasonal veggies. I want to go!!
He was featured in Chef’s Table!
I highly recommend Evan Funke’s episode of Chef’s Table!
Found the Netflix ‘Chef’s Table: Noodles’ episode with Evan Funke, sorry episode #? Looks like a good watch for today. Reminds me a bit of my 2nd fav WLM episode with Vicky Tsai where they’re flipping the potstickers.
Meghan is truly living her best life with Harry and their children. They have a circle of trust with family and friends that they love and trust.
Meghan received well wishes from global supporters and organizations including a designer who designed a beautiful gown with her in mind, which she acknowledged. Pretty sure she never thought of the Windsors/Wales as she celebrated her birthday amongst the people who care for her and who she cares for. Also, pretty sure she has firmly buried her time spent in that family as she pushes ahead in her era of joy. At this point Prince Harry is the only Windsor she cares about.
She’s so cute and sweet. It’s nice to see her encouraged and loved up on by her true friends.
Looks like Duchess Meghan had a wonderful birthday surrounded by love and friendship (and amazing food) 🎂🙌🏽
I love the pics of her with her friends. So cute.
The rota rats and that Campbell trash can crawl back into the sewers where they usually live.
Oh that’s the restaurant that the Chef makes his pasta by hand. I saw a documentary on him and he went to Italy to learn how to do it! It took him to many places in Italy to learn the different pastas. I bet she had a great time and I bet the food was wonderful!! Let the derangers eat processed dry pasta!
🤣🤣🤣 and the cake is so beautiful too ❤️
Glad she had a wonderful birthday and was surrounded by love She seems to have an amazing support network and I love that for her. The fact that the press continues to attack this woman is sad and pathetic. My god, it has been years. You’d think the British press would let go. They have lost. Meghan is thriving. Still, she rises.
It is actually hilarious how she’s the living definition of in her lane, thriving, moisturised, unbothered.
By all intents and purpose it looks like Meghan had a great Birthday with a beautiful Cake which is very much in line with her I wonder if the flowers wer edible. When i saw the name of the restaurant Funke i was a little confused because that is a nigerian name, i’ll have to ask what it means in nigerian language Don’t at me because Nike is also a nigerian name
Funke is the chefs last name. It also has German roots.
Tobias opened a restaurant.
Love the Arrested Development reference 😉
I know she has been working behind the scenes for the past month, but it feels like she took a deliberate social media break from July 4th through her birthday. i bet we see that pattern continue in future years.
Glad to hear she had a wonderful birthday weekend!
That makes sense. Now that the kids are in school, July is family holiday month. Mind you, that will also send the rats scurrying to investigate flight plans.
Stand up for yourself and the royal family’s thirst for revenge is INFINITE, isn’t it? No details needed, we can see by the very wide wake of vitriol towards Meghan (that never ever ends) that the royals and the royalists are nasty and there was good reason for her to step down. The longer she’s gone, the meaner they seem to get — CLASSIC toxicity.
Best wishes to Meghan on her birthday, she is a figure of hope and life-affirming purpose to many of us. It’s very touching that she acknowledged the support and good wishes from anonymous strangers, with the implied subtext being, the support is coming to her, to counter the smear campaign that was directed at her by what was obviously a clumsy, ham-fisted, laughably awful collusion between the Royals and the tabloids. I mean. Really. I feel like we’re in the death throes of the institutional monarchy. They don’t need it. They mostly ignore it. And the only thing it generates, is salacious headlines. It’s served its purpose. They used to call the late Queen Mrs Glucksberg because she showed up like clockwork, like the matron of a provincial German midget kingdom (as Hajo Holborn put it) winding up the cuckoo clocks, doing her rounds, clucking at the hens and the horses. But there was something about the late Queen that was so wholesome and hearty and yet decent, disarming and girlish, all at the same time. If she could see this she would be rooting for Meghan and toasting her birthday. Just out of sheer bewilderment at all the malice. I mean. Really.
The derangers were waiting all day on Monday for Meghan to post on Instagram but it never came. Hence the unhinged twitter rant from Lady Campbell. LOL. I’m happy Meghan had a lovely day.
Meghan was to busy celebrating her birthday to post the day of and posted a simple pic the next day. The day after her birthday was the 2nd As Ever wine drop. Meghan is clearly happy and living a lovely life while the people she left behind endlessly about 18 months she existed in their midst.
The Windsors will truly never be able to move on from THE Meghan Sussex.
This woman inspires me so much! Sure, I’ll never be nearly as beautiful, or as talented, or as creative, or as accomplished, or as rich, and certainly never as extraverted as she is, but she has taught me so much about creating and walking in your own sunshine. I love seeing her live her best life.
Ooooh – I love that ‘walking in your own sunshine’.
I got a little bit misty eyed seeing her blowing out the candles on her cake. I go back and think thank goodness she can enjoy a cake on her birthday, now her 44th birthday. They were very dark days when she almost didn’t make it to this age . All because of what those left behinds did to her and continue to try to do to her every single day all day. There is a special place reserved for people who have no heart or soul.
I have to say that Monday is normally a dreary day just because it’s the start of the work week and so it was very enjoyable to be able to see all of the love Meghan received on her birthday. The outpouring of love from her friends was sweet, funny and heartwarming. Tracy and Kelly’s birthday wishes were both funny and sweet with the addition of never before seen photos of them with Meghan. Abigail being Meghan’s birthday twin and them being so cute and fun with each other whenever we’re lucky enough to see it, shared a very sweet but heartwarming birthday message for Meghan that was very touching and a reminder of how important they are for each other. Friendships are like families that we are responsible for forming and creating ourselves and it’s great seeing the beautiful extended family that Meghan has around her, Harry and the children. I loved Kerry’s birthday wish for Meghan as only someone as gorgeous as Kerry could give such a special birthday message. Meghan’s returning that love back to Kerry and all of those in her circle was heartfelt and kind. She really is beautiful inside and out. Daniel’s message to his “sis” made me feel happy for them both to have that type of love where friends really can be your family in so many ways. It made me happy to know that Meghan felt the love not just from Harry, family and friends but she felt it from her true fans and supporters. Her acknowledging the young man who designed a special drawing of Meghan in a gorgeous blush dress was icing on an already beautifully made cake. Then to read her thanks to all who have sent her love and best wishes along with the photo made her birthday a really amazing day from start to finish.
So glad to see her so happy. She deserves it.
It eats them up that Meghan does not acknowledge them and is thriving. I love, love, love this for her. She has beat them at their game but she was never playing. Her existence vexes them. I’m sure they hated that major companies called her Queen Meghan when nobody wants to acknowledge that horrible mistress as queen. Long live Queen Meghan and Good King Harry.
The royal family just keeps on announcing that they really couldn’t handle the Black duchess being among them. It’s appalling.
Hurray for Meghan and her true friends for showing the world how love (eventually) wins out.

“……and the royal family’s thirst for revenge is infinite, isn’t it.”
Why, yes, #Paintybox. That’s an immutable fact.
And did you see their acknowledgement of this fact in a story on this blog earlier this week where, as part of their usual transference M-O, palace spox said “Meghan’s capacity for revenge [was] infinite.”
They always tell on themselves. Only those with discernment can see them clearly.
That tirade by so-called Lady Colin Campbell is insane… imagine being THAT bothered by someone on her own birthday, writing all that up, and posting that? Truly unhinged behaviour.
Ok, what is that foamy drink they’ve got?? Guess I’ll have to look up their menu. That cake is beautiful! Glad she had a lovely evening out with friends! Must make the left behinds seethe. Which reminds me, from that other post about W&K wanting Fort B because it’s more suitable for a future monarch’s family. Do these two ever host friends for an evening or weekend? An afternoon tea? Ever???? Why need a bigger space if you’re never going to entertain anyone. They truly are the most insular people I’ve ever read about.
The British are unhinged, deranged and I’d even add Satanic in their malicious. foaming-at-the-mouth calumny about a very lovely, kind, creative, hard-working woman of color who married a British prince and took him and their family out of harm’s way. She had every right to do so and their very lives were probably saved by their very wise exit. The deplorables stayed in England and will badmouth her till the cows come home. F-ck em. Let them rot in Salt Island.
