Birthday girl Meghan shines alongside Prince Harry at lavish celebration

It may have been her 37th birthday, but Meghan, Duchess of Sussex had very important duties on her big day. The former actress, alongside husband Prince Harry, were very special guests at the wedding of Charlie van Straubenzee and Daisy Jenks.

Charlie is one of Prince Harry’s best friends and was seen at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding in May. While the day was all about the big couple, birthday girl Meghan captured a lot of attention with her stunning choice of outfit.

The royal was photographed mingling with others outside the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Frensham, shortly before the wedding kicked off. She opted for a rather interesting frock for the outing. The dress, which sells for £400 (AU$702, US$520), featured an array of different colours.

The top of the dress was a navy colour and included trimmings of green, pink and lilac towards the bottom. The dress was complete with a chunky bow that wrapped around Meghan’s waist.

The Duchess of Sussex topped off her look with a matching fascinator, a gorgeous pair of heels and opted for a golden bracelet and matching pair of earrings. She was also spotted in a stylish pair on sunglasses on the sunny British day.

She wore her luscious brunette locks in a curly style for the wedding and finished her look with naturalistic make-up and a navy clutch bag. Prince Harry looked smart in a suit jacket and trendy pair of pinstripe trousers and was also spotted in a pair of sunglasses shortly after the ceremony ended.

Meanwhile, the Royal Family social media pages took time to wish Meghan a happy birthday. The official Twitter page shared a gorgeous photo of Meghan sitting and laughing alongside Queen Elizabeth II.
