On June 4th, Princess Lilibet celebrated her third birthday. She received a special gift from King Charles, according to a royal expert. But there is more to tell behind the curtains.
A big birthday bash was hosted by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their home in Montecito, California. Their close friends were invited to celebrate the occasion. However, the ongoing f_eud with the Royal Family meant that no members of the British monarchy were on the guest list.
Despite this, King Charles made sure to mark his granddaughter’s special day. “King Charles had no intention of completely ignoring Lilibet’s birthday, so he has sent a gift along with a message.”, Royal expert Tom Quinn revealed.
Quinn shares that the monarch is holding back on an even more significant present until the family rift heals.
“He gave Prince George a beautiful hand-made wooden swing with George’s name carved on it, and he has plans to give something similar to Lilibet, but not this year. And not unless and until the family feud dies down,” Quinn explained.
A lot of stars with celebrities such as Orlando Bloom, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Oprah Winfrey reportedly attended the birthday party at the Sussexes’ California mansion.
“Rather than go for a low-key celebration, Harry and Meghan spent the past weekend enjoying a pre-birthday bash for their daughter Lilibet’s third birthday. Hugely expensive presents have been ruled out, but the couple’s mansion in California was awash with celebrities,” Quinn said.
In a surprising move, Harry and Meghan did not extend invitations to any members of the Royal Family. “Shockingly, no invitations to Lilibet’s party were issued to members of the Royal Family,” Quinn noted.
An old army friend of Harry’s commented on the situation, saying, “Harry knew they wouldn’t come anyway, and he was pretty sure he would not have wanted them there. But he is really sad that Archie and Lilibet cannot have any kind of relationship with their cousins while his f”eud with his family continues.”
As Lilibet turns three, the hope remains that the family f//eud will eventually resolve, allowing her to forge relationships with her royal relatives in the future.
