Meghan Markle has recently turned 40 and contrary to popular belief, she did plan an extravagant party or hire Oprah's party planner.

For her birthday, Meghan filmed a conversation over Zoom with Melissa McCarthy for her foundation Archewell.

It is a light-hearted, playful video that definitely shows Melissa McCarthy's humourous side.

Meghan explains in the video that the point of it is to announce her 40x40 initiative, which is an invitation to 40 of her friends to "donate 40 minutes of their time to help mentor a woman who's mobilising back into the workforce" at the time of COVID-19.

Bloopers after the video shows Melissa bursting out in laughter once she spots Prince Harry juggling outside the window.

The Duchess has kept a low profile since the birth of her daughter Lilibet, and it seems like that's all she wanted for her birthday.

She decided she wanted to celebrate "privately" at home with her husband and two children.

Since being on parental leave with her husband, the couple has still kept up with their charitable endeavours.

Just last month they donated a huge amount of diapers to Harvest Home, a Los Angeles based organisation that spends its time supporting unhoused mothers and children.

"Pallets and pallets of diapers...we are so grateful! These diapers recently arrived at our new Pico-Robertson Home and we could not be more thankful to Archewell Foundation, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and @proctergamble and @pampersus for the incredible donation through their Million Acts of Love Campaign. Thank you helping us ensure our resident and alumnae families' needs are met!" The company wrote on Instagram beside a photo of the giant mound of diapers.
