Meghan Markle will celebrate a low-key 40th birthday on Wednesday .
There are no plans for a big party for the Duchess of Sussex, who only recently gave birth to her daughter Lilibet, we’re told.
Markle turns 40 on the same day former President Obama celebrates his 60th birthday, which will be followed by a huge bash at his Martha’s Vineyard home over the weekend. The Sussexes are not planning to attend Obama’s party.

While it was rumored that Markle is having a grand bash with Oprah Winfrey’s A-list party planner Colin Cowie at the helm, this is absolutely not happening.
Although it’s not yet known what exact plans Harry has for his wife, those who know them said there are plenty of spots near their $14.5 million home in Montecito where he can take his young family away.
Markle’s best friends — and potential guests of any limited-attendance birthday party — all live in the US, including her college pal Lindsay Roth, actresses Janina Gavankar and Abigail Spencer, TV director Silver Tree and makeup artist Daniel Martin — all of whom stepped up in her defense amid bullying claims from Buckingham Palace staff earlier this year.
Harry and Markle have a track record of keeping birthday celebrations small.
Last year, Markle celebrated her 39th birthday quietly at home amid the Covid pandemic, months after she and Harry sensationally quit the royal family for the US.
