The As Ever founder went on: "To those of you I don't know, but who send love every day – thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it."

To finish her post, the mom-of-two showered chef Evan Funke, the owner of the restaurant, with praise, and added: "And just to get a little foodie on you… this dinner last night at @funke_la with the culinary mastery of @evanfunke and his team is in the top five meals of my life. Extraordinary. Thank you for a standout dining experience."

As expected, the With Love, Meghan star's post got mixed reactions on the internet, with many people calling her out for sharing pictures of her birthday dinner despite it being private. Others wondered whether Prince Harry was even in attendance, as she didn't show a picture of him on social media.

Internet Reactions

"What a staged birthday candle blow," thought one person in the comment section of a People article. "Just another attention seeking diva!" exclaimed a second, as a third asked: "If it's a private celebration why is she posting pictures?"

"Imagine having to publicly wish yourself a happy birthday, because you're so irrelevant that literally hardly anyone else did so," quipped a fourth, as a fifth concurred: "It's supposed to be a private celebration, well, she's made it public as usual. Can't help herself. She's just so irrelevant now and is trying to do anything and everything to be in the limelight."

"They don't know the meaning of privacy," slammed a sixth, as a seventh agreed: "Private…yet here are the pictures for everyone to see." "Private because she threw it for herself. She is exhausting," commented an eighth, while many other people referenced the other guests who were invited. Or seemingly lack thereof…

"Another rare photo of her. Where are the photos of her guests? Were there any?" questioned a ninth person, as a tenth chimed in: "Could not share a photo of everyone there. Once again all about me me me." "She only has one friend celebrating with her. If it were a huge group, she would have shown them. Give it up, Meghan, you burned all your bridges," commented an eleventh, as a twelfth speculated: "Harry wasn't there. Probably home sucking his thumb saying 'my father won't speak to me.'"
