The picture shows a then-pregnant Meghan, dressed in a stunning $595 (£480) ‘Cary’ dress by US ready-to-wear brand Veronica Beard on her final day in Tonga last year.

However a picture from another account shows that it was sent from Buckingham Palace, their official business residence.

Another pondered: ‘Maybe Clarence House did not have the envelopes yet because the move to BP is still ‘fresh’.’
Revealing that they got the same note, another fan said: ‘I got mine yesterday. I think it’s one of my favourite outfits from the tour’.
And the fan also shared the words from the note, tweeting: ‘The message on the back says ‘The Duchess of Sussex was so touched by your very kind birthday wishes. Her Royal Highness sends her warmest thanks for your thoughtfulness and wishes you all the best’.

In August the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s charity removed Harry and Meghan from its title, marking a final step in the split between the two couples.
Documents published by Companies House today show William and Kate’s foundation is now just called ‘The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’.
This comes after Harry and Meghan set up their own Sussex Royal foundation, a move which experts have said was always part of Harry’s plan once he started his own family.
The Royal Foundation has yet to update the title on its website, which still also features images of the Sussexes (Prince Harry, right)
