Recently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their daughter Lilibet’s first birthday party. Last year, Prince Harry withdrew from the royal family, claiming that the British press was “killing” his mental health. In January 2020, the prince and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, resigned as working members of the royal family, sparking a crisis within the institution.
They’ve now relocated to Los Angeles, where they’ve begun to carve out new lives for themselves, raising their public profile and engaging with sympathetic media figures.
Here is everything you should know about Lilibet’s birthday.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Hosted Lilibet’s Party
The Daily Beast reported that Queen Elizabeth was “highly unlikely” to “attend a rumoured first birthday party for her great-granddaughter Lilibet at Frogmore Cottage on Saturday.” It turned out to be true.
Their parents abused the actual royals, The Sun reported. Zara and Mike Tindall, and Peter and August Philips’s presence were uncontested. They are not HRHs.
The Queen, who was unable to attend most of her own Jubilee celebrations due to illness, did not attend. Zara later informed reporters, Derby horse race that she was laid up at Windsor with mobility problems. It was watching the racing on TV in her “comfy clothes.”
HM is said to be recharging her batteries in the hopes of capping off the four-day holiday. Along with a balcony appearance on Sunday. From Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “relaxed” birthday party for Lilibet. Only the Tindall and Phillips children—Princess Anne’s grandchildren—were expected to attend.
Who All Attended Lilibet’s Party?
Meanwhile, William and Kate made it quite apparent that they wouldn’t attend Lilibet’s first birthday celebration, nor would their children, by making a high-profile public appearance in Cardiff with George and Charlotte on Saturday.
However, birthday wishes for Lilibet poured in from the Royal Family’s social media pages, including Charles and Camilla’s and Will and Kate’s. The Queen saw her namesake for the first time at a private meeting with Harry and his family, according to reports.
The Sun says Harry and Meghan “held an informal garden party at Frogmore Cottage, on the royal estate, with a birthday cake, balloons, party games and picnic snacks.”
It has seemed to emphasize the Sussexes isolation from the rest of the royals, at least visually. Is Harry in contact with William? No one is aware. At least in public, the two haven’t exchanged a smile.
Sources relayed to the Sun: “It was a lovely do and had everything you’d expect from a child’s birthday party. But there was no formal entertainment. The idea was for it to be very relaxed and casual, with people free to pop in and out as they wished. It was a nice opportunity for the other royal children to meet Lilibet for the first time.”
“And as her first birthday is such a milestone, there was lots of discussion ahead of time about the presents that she would be given on the day. One idea that proved very popular was a £75 pink Volkswagen Beetle ride-on toy, which had been spotted in Selfridges.”
