Meghan Markle has revealed she avoids sweet treats for her birthday, instead opting to indulge in a ‘vice’.

The Duchess of Sussex, who celebrates her 43rd birthday today (Sunday, August 4), has been enjoying the same unconventional tradition for years – starting off her day with a plate of French fries.

Her quirky breakfast habit was uncovered in a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) on one of her past birthdays.

In it, Meghan is seen chatting with a chef about her birthday preference, stating: “For my birthday, since I don’t have a sweet tooth, I always have French fries for breakfast with a little candle.”

Accompanying the video was a heartfelt birthday message reading: “Happy birthday to this girl boss, mother, wife, daughter, humanitarian, activist, role model, queen of constancy & kindness Princess Meghan Markle.”

And this fan wasn’t the only one to wish the former Suits star a happy birthday. One fan wished, “Best wishes Meghan” followed by a heart emoji, while another enthused, “Happy Birthday to Meghan Markle The Duchess of Sussex. Wishing her all the best and all the happiness. May her grace, kindness, resilient, optimism and strength keep inspire us all.”

Meghan has opened up about her affinity for the snack on multiple occasions. Back in 2012, she celebrated with an Instagram post captioned: “Birthday french fries” along with the hashtag “tradition”.

And in an interview with Delish, Meghan referred to chips as her “vice” – but it’s not her only one. “French fries and vino are my vices,” she confessed.

“I’m always hoping I’m having lunch with people, so we can share fries. It’s its own food group for me.”

And it’s not just plain chips she likes – she also loves poutine, a Canadian classic combining fries, cheese curds, and gravy. She insisted on an important detail: “It’s got to squeak when you bite into it.”
