Another source of the media outlet reportedly informed that Meghan has decided to keep her birthday a low key affair and will have only close friends and relatives. The source also said that she does not want to take risks and come out as someone who is irresponsible. 
 
As per reports, ever since the couple has moved to the US with their son Archie, they have hardly stepped out of their house. According to reports, the two were spotted stepping out just a few weeks ago sporting their ideal summer ensembles while sporting a mask to protect themselves from the ongoing Coronavirus crisis. Apart from this, according to reports, as a ceremonial ritual this year, the Westminster Abbey would not ring its bells for Meghan's birthday.

A spokesperson from the royal family reportedly informed that the bells are usually rung to mark the birthdays of senior members of the Royal Family. Last year, Meghan rang in her 38th birthday by having a 'family day' at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in England. The occasion was low-key and she enjoyed a carrot cake from Stoke Newington-based Luminary Bakery.
