Meghan Markle celebrates Harry at 42 with family video set to Tina Turner classic
Meghan Markle marked Prince Harry turning 42 with a video montage shared on Instagram. Her caption borrowed straight from the soundtrack: "He's simply the best. Happy birthday, my love" Hello! Magazine. The post, published on 15 September, keeps words to a minimum and lets pictures and music carry it.
The tribute is built around family photographs. It features Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet People. The edit includes never-before-seen photos of the two children.
Meghan Markle, 45, is listed as the author of the post Yahoo Entertainment. A montage here means a sequence of stills and short clips cut together to music, made to be watched on a phone.
The music is an alternative version of Tina Turner's The Best. The performance comes from The Hound + The Fox Hello! Magazine. Their take is quiet and acoustic, voice and guitar rather than full-band power ITV News. The title is sometimes given as 'Simply the Best' after its chorus line, but it is the same song.
That song has its own history. Bonnie Tyler originally recorded The Best in 1988 Hello! Magazine. Tina Turner covered it in 1989 for her album Foreign Affair, a long-playing record. Turner's cover became the well-known version.
The choice also has a family echo. Prince William said in a 2021 episode of Apple Fitness+ Time To Walk, an audio series made to accompany a walk, that their mother Princess Diana played Tina Turner's The Best in the car while driving him and Prince Harry back to boarding school Hello! Magazine. He remembered singing along. It was loud. It stuck.
What makes this stand out is how little needs explaining. A famous chorus becomes a personal caption. A loud school-run memory returns as a soft birthday backing. For anyone watching, the message lands without footnotes: this one is simply the best.
