Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, second child of Prince Harry and of Meghan Markle, he turned one on June 4th, when the Sussexes were in London for the Queen’s Jubilee. There birthday party of the little one, as a spokesman for the dukes said, it was an “intimate and informal picnic, with friends and family”, in the lawn of Frogmore Cottage, a short distance from Windsor Castle. The Daily Mail he unveiled some more details: at the garden party – based games, colorful balloons, cake and picnic snacks – there were so many real children. Among which the three children of Zara and Mike Tindall – My8 years old, Lena3 and Lucas1 – and the daughters of Peter Phillips And Autumn Kelly, Savannah11, and Isla10. Harry and Meghan they also invited Archie’s godfather, Charlie Van Straubenzee, and his brother Tom, godfather of Princess Charlotte. An insider told the Sun that the royal guests “discussed at length about what to give to the Sussex’s second child on her first birthday. ‘ It seems that one of the little ones most welcomed gifts was “a pink toy Volkswagen from 75 pounds ”. The party, «relaxed and casual», was «a great opportunity to introduce Lilibet to the other children of the royal family». But also the occasion that allowed us to see the girl’s face for the first time thanks to two photos taken by Misan Harriman, photographer and great friend of the Sussexes.
At the party of course there were no William and Kate Middleton nor their children George, Charlotte and Louis. The Cambridge and their two eldest sons were at the Platinum Party, the mega concert that celebrated 70 years on the queen’s throne. In all likelihood, no one, regardless of the Jubilee celebrations, would have thought of inviting them to Lilibet’s birthday. And in all probability the two would not have accepted the eventual invitation. The chill between the Sussex and the Cambridge during the thanksgiving mass in St. Paul was palpable. Nevertheless William and Kate, on June 4, wished little Lilibet Diana via social media.
Even the great-grandmother wasn’t there at the little girl’s birthday party Queen Elizabeth. However The Queen would have met her granddaughter born in America immediately after the Trooping The Color, when the Sussex, according to what was revealed by the royal expert Omid Scobie durantand BBC Breakfast, would have participated in a private lunch at Buckingham Palace with senior members of Windsor house. Also on that occasion of William and Kate there was no trace.
