Meghan Markle has celebrated her 40th birthday by performing in a hilarious sketch alongside Melissa McCarthy.

Per Indy100, the video in question was posted on Wednesday, August 4, in honor of the Duchess of Sussex’s mentorship program for women reentering the workforce, called 40x40.

The skit begins with Prince Harry appearing at the window while Melissa and Meghan are on a video call together.

Harry then begins juggling limes in a bid to get his wife's attention, which prompts laughter from Melissa and from some of the film crew.

Melissa herself later took to her official Instagram account to share the footage with her 9.6 million followers on the platform.

She captioned the video: "Today is my friend Meghan’s 40th birthday (you know, The Duchess of Sussex!). She called to ask me to contribute 40 minutes of mentorship to support women reentering the workforce. I think it went...well?

"Of course I said yes! But we need you to join us, too. If you’re able, can you commit 40 minutes in service of others today?

"In the past two years, tens of millions of women around the world have departed the workforce and communities everywhere are in need of support. Together, we can do something to help.

"Whether you donate time to mentoring, community service, or any act of service that you can, we can all contribute to a global wave of compassion and positive change together."

The video has currently surpassed 2 million views, and racked up a further 4,600 comments, at the time of writing.
