The Special Way the Royal Family Paid Tribute to Meghan Markle on Her Birthday

From ELLE

Meghan Markle's 37th birthday-and very first birthday as a royal-is today. And to mark the occasion, the royal family pulled out all the stops across its Twitter and Instagram accounts to make sure Meghan gets a birthday post on each and every account. It's a very public embracing and show of support to their newest member.

Kensington Palace, which represents Meghan, Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, naturally shared a tweet and Insta in Meghan's honor, thanking everyone for the birthday wises. The team pulled a pretty event photo of her, so no fancy new royal portrait or personal photo this time:

So did the Royal Family Twitter and Instagram, which represents Buckingham Palace-and particularly Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan's good friend, and her husband Prince Philip. Of course a photo of Meghan and the Queen looking like BFFs was the natural choice:

Clarence House, which represents Meghan's parents-in-law Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, also shared a birthday tribute featuring a photo with the three of them together:

A united, cross-platform front-and a way of saying, in the midst of the Thomas Markle drama, they remain firmly behind Meghan.

Meghan and the royal family are on vacation this month, but Meghan and Harry are expected to make a public appearance at the wedding of Harry's good friend Charlie van Straubenzee later today.
