Meghan Markle Reveals Prince Harry’s Unusual 8th Wedding Anniversary Gift

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on Tuesday, May 19, and the Duchess of Sussex revealed the unusual gift she received from her husband.

In videos shared to her Instagram Stories, Meghan, 44, first showed Harry, 41, lighting a cake, while their two children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 4, could be heard singing in the background in what appeared to be the kitchen of their home in Montecito, California.

In the next clip, Meghan gasped and exclaimed, “What! Oh my God,” as Harry lifted up a blanket to reveal his thoughtful present: a bronze statue of two penguins cuddled up next to one another.

Meghan then explained the significance of the gift to their children by reading aloud a card written by the former working British royal.

“When mama and papa, when we got engaged, we had a party with all of our friends and we said everyone wear an animal onesie and we wore penguins because we’re together for life,” Meghan said. The Suits alum was also holding a printed out photo that appeared to be the couple wearing the penguin onesies.
