Meghan Markle shares Prince Harry's photo to mark his 41st birthday

Meghan Markle has shared cheeky birthday message as her beloved husband Prince Harry turns 41.

The Duchess of Sussex delighted fans by sharing a decade-old image of the Duke of Sussex from 2015, when he first began to sport facial hair.

Meghan made fun of her husband's young look  with her words in the caption of, writing: "Oh hi, Birthday Boy" alongside a fire emoji.

The Picture, shared on Meghan's official Instagram account on September 15, was taken before they begun their romance.

Harry's 41st birthday comes after he returned to Montecito after a week in the UK and Ukraine. The Duke celebrated the moments with his wife and their two chidden, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at their mansion. 

The picture shows Harry in the military uniform. It was captured when the Duke was on the airfield at Goodwood Aerodrome, where he was shown a Spitfire Aircraft that would take part in a Battle of Britain Flypast at Goodwood.

The photo shared by Meghan appears to be heavily edited compared to the photograph taken by Chris Jackson in 2015.

last week, the Duke of Sussex spent four days in the UK, focusing on charity and patronage-related work. He then travelled to war-torn Ukraine, after an invitation by an organisation that supports Ukrainians with life-changing injuries caused by the war.

Following a week of positive press for Harry's brief European return, the Duke of Sussex decided to give an honest interview with the Guardian, where he answered questions about Meghan and his father, King Charles.

Speaking about his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry said his "conscience is clear", despite being open about his rifts with the royals. The Duke also said that, over the coming year, "the focus really has to be on my dad".
