Duchess Meghan turns 45 with poolside tribute from As Ever

Duchess Meghan turned 45 on Aug. 4, celebrating with a poolside Instagram post and a tribute from her lifestyle brand As Ever, which shared childhood and recent photos of her. The birthday tributes coincided with Meghan and Prince Harry issuing a statement criticizing Big Tech, specifically Elon Musk's xAI, over AI tools enabling "predatory behavior" against women and children, and supporting Minnesota's ban on AI "nudification" technology. The couple, who married in 2018 and share two children, have long warned about social media's mental health impacts. They recently returned from a UK trip marking a reconciliation step with King Charles III, though Meghan skipped the London portion over security disputes.
