The Duchess of Sussex has hired Oprah Winfrey's party planner for her 40th birthday celebrations, which will take place at her California home later this week.
The former actress – who was known as Meghan Markle before her marriage to Prince Harry – celebrates her milestone birthday today and has enlisted the services of Colin Cowie to organise a bash at her home in Santa Barbara, California.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Megan wants a small gathering.
“About 65 people are invited, her closest friends and family. Colin was recommended to her by Oprah who always puts on fabulous parties.”
Harry is said to have ordered a cake from local baker Posies & Sugar and on the day, guests will dine from “grazing tables” featuring locally-sourced delicacies and wine from neighbouring vineyards.
Colin counts Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise, Kim Kardashian West, and Jennifer Lopez among his clients and in 2018, he was voted number one wedding planner and caterer in the north east US by Vogue magazine.
