The Duke of Sussex celebrates turning 37 on September 15. It is Harry's second birthday since Megxit saw him and Meghan, 40, quit royal duties and move to the US.

       And it is the Duke's first birthday since becoming a father-of-two, following the birth of his and the Duchess's daughter Lilibet Diana in June.

       Meghan will no doubt make the day special for Harry with his two children Archie and Lili.

       The former actress previously opened up on birthdays on her now-closed blog The Tig.

       Writing in 2016, she said: "My mom has always said that birthdays are your own personal New Year.

       "Your own chance to make resolutions just for yourself and what you prognosticate for your year ahead."

       Harry and Meghan are living in a mansion in Montecito with two-year-old Archie and Lili.

       The couple quit royal duties in March 2020 and moved across the pond.

       Earlier in September, Meghan's mother Doria Ragland turned 65 so it has been a busy month for family birthdays.

       Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will reportedly see the Queen in a "private family get-together" and are not due to participate in a formal summit with palace advisers, a royal expert has claimed.

       Speaking to Palace Confidential, royal expert Rebecca English said: "Meeting the family is very different from a summit, which we saw at Sandringham not that long ago, which is a kind of suggestion that they'll be thrashing out family issues.

       "I'm told if they do come and visit, it'll be in a private capacity and very much will remain in that vein."
