Prince Harry's sweet personal birthday message to Meghan Markle is going viral

This is lovely.

Meghan Markle has had a very eventful 37th year, from her welcoming her first child Archie Harrison, to the Sussex family's move to Frogmore Cottage.

This weekend therefore it's hardly surprising that she got all the love as she celebrated the start of her 38th year.

Yes, the Duchess of Sussex turned 38 on Sunday, with a host of celebrities and royal family members taking to social media to mark the occasion.

Included of course was her husband Prince Harry who took to Instagram to post a portrait of the Duchess, captioned with the personal message: ‘Happy Birthday to my amazing wife. Thank you for joining me on this adventure! – Love, H’.

Predictably Prince Harry's post went viral with fans and celebrities - including Jameela Jamil - taking to the comments section to add their messages.

Meghan's pal Daniel Martin was also among the commenters, posting: 'Sending HRH, my beautiful friend, mad birthday love today. Love you M🎂 🙌🏼💙'.

Other social media tributes included 'a very happy birthday to The Duchess of Sussex today! 🎈' from Prince William and Kate Middleton, something that proved controversial, adding to the rumours of the royal feud. And of course the official Royal Family and Clarence House platforms also paid tributes, posting photos and lengthier messages to the Duchess.

Happy Birthday HRH!
