Meghan Markle defended after subtle royal detail spotted in sweet birthday video

Meghan Markle has been celebrating her birthday this week, but critics have spotted something in the sweet new video.

The Duchess Of Sussex turned 45 yesterday (August 4) and shared a video of her clutching a bunch of birthday balloons and having a little dance.

Prince Harry can be heard to laugh and say 'oh dear' as she showed off her moves while shimmying to a birthday tune by Stevie Wonder in the kitchen of their California home.

She was clad in a t-shirt which reads 'It's Giving Mrs', and Meghan definitely seems in a celebratory mood.

However, one other accessory she was wearing has ruffled feathers with critics, as they thought she was wearing a plastic tiara or crown on her head.

One fan shared the video delightedly, captioned: "Harry will have all the fun! His mum knew."

They added: "Look at my Duchess living a carefree, unbothered, unburdened life, being filmed by her princely husband! It’s giving Mrs," they added, referencing her shirt.

It wasn't long though before people lashed out at her choice of accessories.

"WTF is wrong with woman? Fake tiara, ego posted clip, very much look at me attitude. How many times have we seen Harry filmed on his birthday, NEVER!!!!" one fumed.

"Staged, stupid crap. This is private time she should be simply enjoying with her family, unless she thinks she has something to prove," added another.

"She got her tiara, the only one H could afford" jibed one, as another quipped: "The only tiara she will ever have on her head!"

"The crown…lol," defended one fan, as another acknowledged that Meghan's haters would despite it: "It's gonna melt them."

"Don't panic! The balloons & headband have no meaning other than what it says—“Happy Birthday!” defended one fan.

"Meghan is not dancing her way into a rival royal court meeting. She is simply grateful 2 see another year. We enjoy her joy!" they added.

Another praised: "This is what peace looks like. No palace, no PR machine—just a husband filming his wife having fun."

"She and harry are having the best time with the birthday surprise he planned for her this morning (and the breakfast he made for her)" raved one fan.

In another video, Meghan and Harry shared another sweet moment where they attempted to put party hats on their two dogs, Mamma Mia and Pula.

Needless to say, it didn't go down well and the dogs kept throwing the hats off as the Duke and Duchess tried to hold them on, in a scene many dog owners can relate to.

Meghan can be heard laughing “Oh no, okay, let’s take it off. I’m sorry.”

She thanked fans for the 'birthday love' as she shared two black and white photos of her leaping into the pool complete with the birthday balloons.

It looks like she had a wonderful day.
