Meghan Markle Celebrates 37th Birthday at Wedding of Prince Harry’s Friend
On Saturday, Meghan Markle celebrated her 37th birthday in style.
The Duchess of Sussex and her husband, Prince Harry, attended the wedding of one of Harry's oldest family friends, Charlie Van Straubenzee, and his girlfriend Daisy Jenks in Surrey, England.
The newlyweds were all smiles as they arrived at the church, with Meghan looking stunning in a colour-block, pleated shirtdress from Club Monaco that featured an olive, pink and white skirt.
The dress retails for $328 and she accessorised it with a hat by her go-to milliner, Philip Tracy, her trusty Aquazura pumps with bows on the strap, a sweet, knotted belt and a clutch by Caru.
While Harry tended to his usher duties, the birthday girl was seen chatting with several women in attendance.
Also present at the wedding were Princess Eugenie and her fiancé, Jack Brooksbank, who are preparing for their own wedding in October.

Contrary to reports, Harry is not serving as best man at his friend's ceremony, but he is involved in the proceedings, including usher duties.
He will likely have a hand in some of the fun shenanigans planned for the reception.
Notably absent from the wedding were Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, who have been on summer vacation with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
In Mustique, the wedding comes nearly three months after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's own fabulous day on May 19.
A month later, they were at the nuptials of Princess Diana's niece, Celia McCorkadale.
August marks the summer break for the royals, most of whom will visit the Queen at Balmoral, Scotland, for at least part of their vacation.
However, William will be seen again in public on August 8, when he travels to France to attend a ceremony marking the centenary commemoration of the Battle of Amiens, which played a significant role in the ending of the First World War.
For Meghan, this was her first birthday as an official member of the royal family after her own wedding to Prince Harry in May.
