Meghan Markle sends cryptic birthday message to Queen Camilla

Meghan Markle has shared a new message on her social media which many fans have taken to be a cryptic birthday message to her mother-in-law, Queen Camilla. Posting on her Instagram story, the Duchess of Sussex filmed a crate with three bottles of her new As Ever Rosé.

"Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies", she wrote. However, it remains unclear who she was sending the wine to. The new video comes as a new image of the Queen was shared to mark her 78th birthday.

The new photograph was taken in the garden of the Queen's private home of Ray Mill in Wiltshire.

She is wearing a striking tropical rainforest print dress by Fiona Clare, which features wildlife motifs and a bold leafy pattern that makes her blue eyes pop. While the framing of the picture with her hands clasped together means her art deco engagement ring takes centre stage.

Royal photographer Chris Jackson captured the image, having been behind the camera of the picture of the Queen with her rescue dog, Moley, released earlier in the week.

Camilla bought Raymill, a six-bedroom house, after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles in the mid-1990s.

The new message from Meghan comes one day after the Queen carried out a busy day of engagements in Devon. After a visit to Children's Hospice South West in her role as Patron, the Queen travelled to a garden party at HMS Drake and became the Lady Sponsor of HMS Astute to mark the end of the submarine's first commission.

While there, she was handed a bunch of flowers and a very unusual gift as an early birthday present. The Queen was presented with a roll of cling film on a wooden stand after the ceremony.

The slightly unusual gift was part of an inside joke, as the Queen had been amused by the crew's initiative of using the transparent plastic film to repair the engines during its voyage.

Upon seeing the gift, the Queen exclaimed: "Oh my goodness, the famous clingfilm!" She continued: "Oh brilliant, it's a useful substance...I'm sure it works. How lovely, thank you very much."
