Meghan Markle celebrated her 45th birthday by sharing a pair of black-and-white photos on Instagram that captured a lighthearted moment by the pool.
The Duchess of Sussex posted the images on Tuesday, Aug. 4, thanking followers for their birthday wishes as she marked the milestone.
Birthday Celebration
In one photo, Meghan is seen wearing a one-piece swimsuit and sunglasses while jumping into a swimming pool.
She held several balloons above her head and smiled as she leaped into the water.
A second image shows Meghan underwater with one arm extended while still holding the balloons.
She captioned the post, “Thank you for the birthday love!”
Summer Family Moments
The birthday post follows a series of photos Meghan shared in July highlighting summer outings with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
One image showed Meghan standing on a beach while watching Harry spend time in the water with the children.
Other black-and-white photos featured the couple enjoying a meal together and Harry playing with Lilibet in a swimming pool.
Visit to the United Kingdom
Among the July photos was an image believed to have been taken at Althorp House, the Spencer family estate where Princess Diana grew up.
The photograph showed Prince Harry and Prince Archie carrying large white flower bouquets along a tree-lined path, while Princess Lilibet followed behind them.
It has not been confirmed whether the family visited Princess Diana’s gravesite or the estate during the trip.
Harry traveled to the United Kingdom in July for engagements related to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

Meghan also attracted attention in July during her guest appearance on MasterChef Australia.
During the episode, she received a surprise video call from Prince Harry while serving as a guest judge.
Harry asked whether he had interrupted filming, and Meghan explained that she was tasting dishes prepared by contestants.
She joked that one of the hot sauces being served might be too spicy for him, prompting laughter before the couple ended the call.
