The Duchess of Sussex, 43, marked the occasion, which commemorates the United States’s independence from Britain, with a series of social media posts.
Meghan began her latest message with a reflection on her second date with Prince Harry, which fell on July 4, where “H brought me cupcakes to celebrate”.

Earlier, Meghan was filmed assembling a patriotic charcuterie board which featured in two videos, posted to both her main account and that of her As Ever lifestyle brand.
The American themed presentation featured watermelon, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and star-shaped cheese arranged to resemble the American flag’s colours.
In the first video, Meghan could be seen hopping from one leg to another as she prepared to begin filming.
“Simply Entertaining, Happy 4th of July,” flashed on the screen in Meghan’s handwriting as the assembling of ingredients began.
The Duchess’s family post followed a series of other messages that marked US independence from Britain.

She was shown using her, once again out of stock, raspberry spread before accidentally dropping a raspberry into it.
Meghan then giggled as she popped the rogue fruit into her mouth.
Captioning the post, the Duchess wrote: “Red, white and blue and easy to do! Happy 4th, friends Be safe, have fun.”
The second video featured a timelapse of the charcuterie flag set to Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by The Andrews Sisters.
