While Meghan Markle, who turns 37 today, won't get to celebrate in her usual style now she's a royal, we do hope she'll be able to keep up one of her time-honoured traditions.
The Duchess of Sussex may be extremely health conscious most of the time, but on her birthday she allows herself to gorge on one of her "vices" – chips.
She reportedly treats herself to the junk food staple – and a cheeky glass of wine – wherever she is in the world, having grown up on canteen food while hanging around Los Angeles TV studios, where her dad Thomas worked as a lighting director.
In an interview with Delish, she revealed: "French fries and vino are my vices.
"I'm always hoping I'm having lunch with people, so we can share fries. It's its own food group for me."
It seems to run in the family, as her dad recently spent his 74th birthday tucking into a McDonald’s Happy Meal.
Meghan also spoke of her love of poutine – a chips, cheese and gravy combo popular in Canada, where she filmed legal drama Suits.
“It's got to squeak when you bite into it," she said.
"The cheese curds should make a squeaking noise when you bite into them or squeeze them. That's how you know you've got the right kind."
Meghan usually eats vegan — no meat, fish, eggs or dairy — during the week, but apparently allows herself indulge at the weekend, when she has "a little bit more flexibility".
Let's hope Buckingham Palace doesn't put its foot down like it did with her other favourite dish…
