Meghan Markle turned 39 on 4 August 2020 and she shares her birthday with a very prominent and honourable royal.
Meghan Markle shares the same birthday date with the Queen Mother, who would have turned 120 today.
The Queen mother was very special and very close to Prince Harry. The Queen Mother, who was King George VI’s wife, was born on 4 August 1900 in Hitchin. In honour of the late and the most honourable Royal, The Royal Family paid a tribute to Queen Mother. The Buckingham Palace even shared some photos of The Queen Mother. One was which showed her with her two daughters, the Queen and Princess Margaret. While another was taken on the 25th wedding anniversary of The Queen Mother and her husband King George VI.
Queen Elizabeth solemnly celebrated what would have been her mother’s 120h birthday. Britain was struck with an outpouring of grief when she passed away in 2002 at the elderly age of 101. But her birthday also gave a chance to the royal family to fondly remember the Queen Mother’s life.
