Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, celebrated her 45th birthday with an Instagram post featuring a black and white photograph of herself diving into a pool, holding balloons. She thanked her followers for their birthday wishes.
The Duchess's lifestyle brand, As Ever, also acknowledged the milestone with a post that included a sleek photo of Meghan wearing a striped shirt and white jeans, as well as a childhood throwback image. The caption for the brand's post read, "Lighting No. 084 to celebrate!"
Recent promotional content for As Ever has also drawn attention to Meghan's jewelry collection. During a video shared over the weekend, the Duchess displayed several rings, including her wedding ring, a pear-shaped diamond band estimated to be worth $250,000, a new gold band on her right hand, Princess Diana's Cartier Tank Française watch, and a Jennifer Meyer tennis bracelet. Notably absent from these recent appearances was her original engagement ring, which she is believed not to have worn in over four months, with the last sighting being in February 2026.
Prince Harry proposed to Meghan in 2017 with a ring designed by Cleave & Company, incorporating diamonds from Princess Diana's bracelet. The ring is reported to have undergone several alterations since its creation. It was seen with a thinner band and additional diamonds set down the sides in June 2019, a change attributed to Harry. Further speculation about modifications occurred in 2022 and 2023, with reports of repairs and potential redesigns, including a possible change in the central diamond's cut to an emerald shape by 2025. Jewelry experts have noted that wearing significant rings on the right hand can symbolize independence and personal power.
In addition to birthday celebrations, Meghan has been active with her brand, recently introducing a new blackberry fruit spread. She also shared a video of herself arranging flowers, suggesting the display was in her Montecito home. Last week, she was observed wearing an Oura smart ring and a diamond-encrusted gold case for it, a device that tracks vital signs, sleep, and stress levels, which Prince Harry also uses.
