On August 4, Meghan Markle will celebrate her 40th birthday with her little family. Except that without a matchmaker named Violet von Westenholz, maybe her life would be totally different today. But who is this cupid who turned her destiny around?
A matchmaker who played her role to perfection. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have always said they met through a mutual friend. But at first, the couple did not want to reveal the identity of this person. Except that the media E!News has pierced this mystery. And it is Violet von Westenholz, a close friend of the two personalities.
The latter, daughter of a baron and childhood friend of the prince, had embarked on a mission to find the soul mate of the queen’s grandson after he confided that he was ready to fall in love, but could not find the right person. In the summer of 2016, she organized a “blind date” to introduce Meghan Markle – who is soon celebrating her 40th birthday this August 4 – to Prince Harry. The two women met through work and developed a friendship. So, for their mutual friend, there was no doubt about their chemistry. A successful bet for Violet von Westenholz. The continuation, we know it! They quickly started a relationship with to concretize before the whole world.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: their 3rd wedding anniversary
We must believe that Violet von Westenholz was right because the couple from Sussex celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary on May 19, 2021. Since this great day when they said “I do” in St. George’s Chapel, located in London, their life has changed. No more royal engagements, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have packed up and moved to the other side of the world, to California.
But they still keep some traditions to celebrate birthdays. To celebrate, they made a nice announcement via their Archewell Foundation website. The couple announced that they were continuing their partnership with World Central Kitchen, the non-profit organization of Spanish and American chef José Andrés. A noble cause!
