“I’m Not Royal”: Princess Lilibet burst into tears during 3rd birthday party as Royal Family sent no public messages

Royal Family remains silent on Princess Lilibet's third birthday amid ongoing tensions with Sussexes

 

Princess Lilibet turned three on Tuesday, but the Royal Family did not publicly acknowledge the birthday of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s youngest child.

Princess Lilibet celebrated her third birthday on Tuesday (June 4), but there was no public acknowledgement from the Royal Family. Despite being the youngest child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, no members of the Firm sent any well-wishes as she marked her special day.

This perceived snub comes amidst ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, following their decision to step back from Royal duties in 2020 and subsequent public fallouts.

Lilibet has only visited the UK once to meet family members from her father’s side. This visit occurred when she was brought over for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, where the Queen met her 11th great-grandchild and namesake for the first time.

However, despite reports that King Charles is “desperate” to build a relationship with his youngest son’s children, no public message was shared – mirroring the silence when Harry’s son Archie turned five last month.

It’s believed that Lilibet celebrated her birthday over the weekend with a small gathering at her family’s Montecito home. People magazine reported that Meghan and Harry’s close friends and non-royal family members were present, along with some of Lilibet’s friends, reports the Mirror.

Born in California in June 2021, Lilibet was named after her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Rumours of the Queen meeting her great-grandchild via video call after her birth were spread by sources said to be close to the Sussexes, with a particular source telling People magazine: “They were very excited and couldn’t wait to share that their daughter arrived.”

However, Palace insiders were quick to rebut these claims, suggesting no such call took place – as The Mail on Sunday reported.

In response, a source stated pointedly: “No video call has taken place. Friends of the Sussexes appear to have given misleading briefings to journalists about what the Queen had said and that took the whole thing over the edge.”
