43 years old - What Duchess Meghan eats instead of cake for her birthday
Duchess Meghan spends her 43rd birthday today surrounded by her family. As a short clip circulating on the platform X (formerly Twitter) shows, Meghan isn't a fan of traditional birthday cakes.
Duchess Meghan's Sweet Tooth
"I don't have a sweet tooth, so I always have fries for breakfast with a little candle on my birthday," she tells a chef in the video. Fries for breakfast have become a tradition for Meghan. Back in 2012, she posted a photo of the fried potatoes on her now-deactivated Instagram account with the caption "Birthday fries. Tradition."
Besides her unusual breakfast tradition, Meghan has another birthday custom that she inherited from her mother. In 2016, shortly after meeting Prince Harry, she wrote about it on her lifestyle blog "The Tig". "My mother always said that birthdays are your own personal New Year. You have the chance to make resolutions, just for yourself and for what you want to achieve in the coming year," Meghan wrote at the time.
Birthday Resolutions
In the same blog post, she revealed her own resolutions: "More surprises, more adventures, more opportunities to grow, more days filled with giggles and cheeky jokes, more delicious meals, and more inspiration. Always more inspiration."
About five weeks before her 2016 birthday, Meghan and Harry went on their first date at the London Soho House. On their third date, they flew to Botswana together and spent as much time together as possible.
