Meghan Markle Steals Spotlight on Princess Catherine’s Birthday with Old Video Release

Today marks Princess Catherine's 42nd birthday, but Meghan Markle made a surprising move last night to divert attention from the Princess of Wales.

After a year filled with ups and downs, there is heightened anticipation surrounding Kate Middleton's birthday gift from King Charles.

Reports suggest that the Princess of Wales might receive a heartwarming surprise from her father-in-law.

Celebrating her 42nd birthday on January 9th, 2024, Princess Kate is in for a special day.

Royal insiders have hinted at the possibility of Kate being appointed as a Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter by King Charles.

The Daily Express reports that this prestigious new royal title might be bestowed upon her.

Birthdays within the British royal family always hold significance, but this potential honor adds an extra layer of importance to the occasion.

The title of Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter dates back almost 700 years to the time of King Edward III and holds great significance within the British monarchy.

If Kate were to receive this title, it would not only solidify her seniority within the royal family, but also highlight the personal choice of the monarch to recognize her role and dedication to the royal family, according to the Express.

The timing of this potential gift from King Charles aligns with the belief held by many within the royal family that Princess Kate is the perfect candidate for this promotion.

After more than a decade as an official member of the royal family, senior figures reportedly feel that Princess Kate is ready for this new honor.

The Daily Express emphasizes her dedication to royal duties, involvement in charitable endeavors, and her ability to balance her public role with family life.

Aside from the possibility of receiving a new title, Princess Kate is expected to have a more personal and low-key celebration, which suits her preferences.

An insider revealed to the outlet that with the children about to start back at school, Kate and her family are likely to have a quiet celebration at home in Windsor.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Meghan Markle has chosen to release an old video of her and Harry's date night in Germany on Harry's birthday.

The footage, taken from their pap folder, shows Meghan and Harry strolling through a car park after leaving a crowded German bar to celebrate Harry turning 39.

It seems that Meghan intentionally released this video just hours before Catherine's 42nd birthday.

In the clip, Meghan can be seen looking directly at the camera, waving and smiling repeatedly, as if greeting long-lost friends.

This move is seen as part of their strategy to upstage any ongoing events within the royal family.

The contrast between Meghan's behavior in the video, from waving on the royal family balcony to waving at no one while passersby walk by, has drawn attention.

Europe has a no-nonsense attitude towards pomposity and a particular disdain for dreadful fashion.

It appears that Meghan's public relations efforts were soon to follow this video release.

With Harry walking briskly and Meghan playfully waving, this feels like a defiant response to the Golden Globes ceremony held the previous night.

It seems Henry is in a hurry to reach a destination, perhaps to see if there are any leftover goodie bags from the event.
