To mark King Charles' 75th birthday, Meghan was, as expected, spotted without her children.

It seemed like an ordinary day to her. Meghan was spotted shopping and having lunch with her friend Kelly McKee-Zion at midday on her father-in-law's memorable birthday.
Meghan chose a black blouse with her long sleeves rolled up and paired it with gray belted pants and black ballet flats for a casual yet fashionable ensemble. Dark glasses, a ponytail and a poppy pin - a nod to Veterans Day in the US and Memorial Day in the UK - completed her ensemble. Zeon, on the other hand, opted for a more casual look, wearing blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt, with his cell phone slung around his neck.
After lunch, the couple was seen leaving Payavino Trattoria in Santa Barbara and visiting women's clothing company Wendy Foster to do some shopping. Coincidentally, these photos were taken a week ago and were released to commemorate King Charles' 75th birthday. Interestingly, body language expert Judy James pointed out that observing Meghan's reactions to the paparazzi, it seems like she legitimately enjoys the media attention.

She said Judy said Meghan's nonverbal cues indicated a more cheerful and accepting mood, in contrast to the expected behavior of someone seeking privacy. Unlike the conservative poses and public avoidance typical of A-listers, Meghan's warm smile expressed her joy in the spotlight and her willingness to interact with the camera.
This is likely the third time Meghan has been spotted wearing a poppy. She previously wore it when she accompanied her husband Prince Harry to Camp Pendleton in San Diego, where they attended the dedication of the Navy SEAL training facility. The poppy brooch she displayed during the dedication of San Diego's Navy Gym caused quite a stir, with some veterans expressing conflicting opinions about her choice of accessory for the event.
Deep red poppies are traditionally worn on Armistice Day (November 11) in the UK and many other countries in honor of those who served in the armed forces.

Meghan's decision to honor American veterans while wearing a British poppy was met with skepticism from some.
A special development was the publication of a moving photo montage to mark King Charles' girlfriend's 75th birthday. The montage included photos from every year of the king's life, starting in 1948, when the late queen was photographed holding her first child, Charles. The exhibition featured photos from his military days in the 1970s, school photos from the 1960s, and childhood photos from the 1950s. The montage included images of teenage Prince William and Prince Harry, but his daughters-in-law, Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle, were conspicuously excluded from the segment. The Duchess of Sussex is "relieved" amid the ongoing estrangement drama between Meghan Markle, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, with Christmas plans upended and prospects of a royal reunion dimmed. It seems like it is.

Recent reports about 'Brussels' have fueled speculation that Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry will not be returning to the UK for Christmas, instead spending the holidays in the US.
The Mirror reported that the couple were reportedly excluded from a birthday party for Prince Harry's father, Charles III, who turned 75 this week, adding to their notoriety over the alleged snub. Initial reports suggested that Prince Harry had declined the invitation, further fueling rumors about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's strained relationship with the royal family.
However, a spokesperson for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry quickly denied these claims, telling the Daily Mail: "There has been no communication regarding an invitation to Her Majesty's upcoming birthday." "It's unfortunate that the Sunday Times reported this story incorrectly," he said, dismissing the idea that he was being deliberately disrespected.
Despite the clarification, royal experts have weighed in on the situation and revealed insights into the complex dynamics within the royal family. Mirror Royal editor Russell Myers highlighted the apparent lack of communication, saying: They revealed that he hadn't heard from anyone from his father or the palace, and that just says a lot about the relationship.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams also hinted at strained relations within the family, suggesting it was unlikely that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan would spend Christmas with the royal family. "I think there are mixed feelings," Mr Fitzwilliams told GB News.
