Meghan, Britain's Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry turns 39 on Tuesday. Meghan, a former U.S. actress married Harry, Queen Elizabeth's grandson and sixth in line to the British throne in May 2018 in a glittering ceremony at Windsor Castle. The Duchess of Sussex welcomed her first child, Archie, the following May, but they have since shared a fraught relationship with the UK media. The couple has expressed their desire to raise Archie, who is seventh-in-line to the British throne, out of the spotlight. In January, Harry and Meghan announced they would step away from their position as senior royals, citing false and invasive coverage as a major factor in their decision. The announcement sent shockwaves throughout the royal family as it tried to reposition the couple's position in public life.
