Meghan thanked friends who celebrated at a recent party, writing: "And for all of you who came to celebrate with us at his party last weekend, thank you for making his birthday so incredibly special" - followed by a red heart emoji.

Archie's celebrations, held thousands of miles away from the royal family in the US, took place after the Duke of Sussex's bombshell interview with the BBC in which he said the King will not speak to him and he does not know how much longer his father has left.

Harry, speaking after losing a Court of Appeal challenge over his security, said he "can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point".
