A superstar couple’s child was said to be a guest at the plush party for Princess Lilibet. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry went all out to make sure their daughter had the perfect day

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their daughter Lilibet turning three this week.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to have welcomed a major celebrity child to Princess Lilibet’s birthday party at the weekend and while the Royal Family didn’t attend the party, close friends and family of the Sussexes were there as well as some of Lilibet’s friends.

Royal author Tom Quinn has claimed celebrities including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom with their daughter Daisy were also at the bash. It was said to be ‘awash’ with famous faces.

In an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Tom said: “Rather than go for a low-key celebration Harry and Meghan have spent the past weekend enjoying a pre-birthday bash for their daughter Lillibet’s third birthday – hugely expensive presents have been ruled out but the couple’s mansion in California was awash with celebrities including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy who is just a few months older than Lilibet.”

Meghan and Harry became neighbours with Katy and Orlando when they moved to their home in Montecito after stepping down from the Royal Family. They also live close to Ellen DeGeneres, Gwyneth Paltrow and Oprah Winfrey.

While there were plenty of celebrities at Lilibet’s birthday party, members of the Royal Family weren’t invited. Tom said: “Shockingly no invitations to Lilibet’s party were issued to members of the Royal Family.

“One of Harry’s old army friends said: ‘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 feud with his family continues’.”

Lilibet has only met the Royal Family once; when Harry and Meghan brought their children to the UK for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The event coincided with Lilibet’s first birthday.

Her family held an intimate backyard picnic at Frogmore Cottage to celebrate. Photographer Misan Harriman was one of the few people on the guestlist. He shared snaps from the party on social media and wrote: “It was such a privilege to celebrate the 1st birthday of Lilibet with my family and hers! Joy and face painting all around!”
