Overview

• Meghan’s August 5 Instagram post featured a candlelit cake at Funke in Beverly Hills, where she described the dinner as one of the top five of her life and expressed gratitude to Prince Harry, friends, and family for a “beautiful 24 hours.”
• Actress Abigail Spencer praised Meghan as “champagne in human form” in a heartfelt tribute, joined by messages from Kelly McKee Zajfen and Tracy Robbins, all acknowledged by the duchess in the comments.
• The private dinner and public thanks illustrate Meghan’s ongoing strategy of blending intimate gatherings with selective social-media engagement since resuming her personal Instagram earlier this year.
• On the same day, As Ever announced the restock of its 2024 Napa Valley Rosé—echoing accolades from its debut vintage, which won blind taste tests as the “best rosé” and was dubbed the “IT drink of summer.”
• No official royal birthday message appeared for Meghan, reflecting the monarchy’s policy of issuing public greetings only to senior working members and milestone celebrations for non-working royals.
