On her 42nd birthday, Meghan Markle will make a huge announcement about her future step

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife, will turn 42 on August 4 and might make a major statement about her future intentions on her special day.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is experiencing difficulties in her new life with Harry in the United States, will unveil her next actions this week.

Meghan and Harry are said to be in hot water after their six-part docuseries failed to enter the Emmy Award shortlist earlier this month.

Last month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex cancelled their multi-million pound Spotify agreement. Some of their Hollywood acquaintances are also supposedly avoiding the California-based pair.

Harry and Meghan, who stood down as senior working royals in 2020 and came to the United States to pursue their own interests, are now unsure of what they will do next.

According to royal analyst Richard Fitzwilliams, Meghan "might well announce her next move on her birthday."

"Don't forget the Sussexes have a habit of surprising us," Fitzwilliams said. "But otherwise, we'll have to wait and see what her new agent comes up with," Fitzwilliams told OK!.
