Meghan Markle turns 40 today (August 4), and will likely have some big plans to celebrate her landmark birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex will undoubtedly be spending her birthday with husband Prince Harry, two-year-old son Archie and newborn daughter Lilibet.
And her loved ones will surely buy her some wonderful and surprising gifts.

But when Meghan turned 33 in 2014, she asked for something slightly unusual, the Mirror reports.
On her former lifestyle blog The Tig, Meghan wrote a post with some very specific requests for her readers to help her celebrate her birthday.
She wrote: "I am 33 years old today. And I am happy. And I say that so plainly because, well…it takes time."

"So for my birthday, here’s what I would like as a gift: I want you to be kind to yourself. I want you to challenge yourself. I want you to stop gossiping, to try a food that scares you, to buy a coffee for someone just because, to tell someone you love them…and then to tell yourself right back.
"I want you to find your happiness. I did. And it’s never felt so good."
The blog, which Meghan often used to write about health and wellbeing, as well as sharing her favourite foods and places, was shut down in April 2017 after it was revealed that she was dating Prince Harry.
In her closing post, Meghan urged her readers to "keep laughing and taking risks, and keep being 'the change you wish to see in the world'".
She added: "Above all, don't ever forget your worth - as I've told you time and time again: you, my sweet friend, you are enough."
