New evidence has emerged suggesting that the birthday party for Lily, the daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, may not have taken place as reported.
It appears that the event, said to have been held at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, was actually staged at Meghan’s former Toronto home.
This revelation has sparked speculation and raised questions about the authenticity of the celebration.
According to Meghan’s PR team, Lily, also known as Lilibet, turned one on the Saturday of the Queen’s Jubilee weekend.
Prince Harry and Meghan allegedly threw a lovely birthday party at Frogmore Cottage to mark the occasion.
However, sources claim that the Cambridges, Prince William and Kate Middleton, were noticeably absent from the event.
This absence has been perceived by some as a snub to the Sussexes.
But there are peculiarities surrounding the photos that have been circulating.
In an image from a Netflix documentary about Lily’s first birthday, striped patio furniture can be seen in the background.
This furniture is reminiscent of the patio setup at Meghan’s Toronto home, as depicted in a now-deleted Instagram photo featured in a Hello article.
These findings have fueled suspicions that Lily’s birthday party may have been staged, and that William and Kate chose not to attend due to doubts about its authenticity.
The pictures posted on social media show a staged scene in a Toronto home, with children who are rumored to have been borrowed for the occasion.
Meghan lived in Toronto for several years while filming the TV show Suits and wrote blog posts for her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Dig, during that time.
She used Instagram to share glimpses of her beautiful home and provide insights into her life with her pet dogs, Guy and Bogart.
Meghan’s Toronto residence featured a small back garden adorned with monochrome furniture, including a black and white striped cushion metal love seat.
This setup bears a striking resemblance to the furniture seen in Lily’s birthday photo.
The question arises: Did Meghan ship patio furniture from Toronto to the UK for the occasion?
However, the lush and slightly overgrown lawn visible in the background of the photo seems more characteristic of Toronto than the manicured grounds of a UK palace.
Adding to the intrigue is the photographer behind the widely circulated photo of Lily allegedly at Frogmore.
Missan Haraman, a favorite photographer of Meghan and Harry, has been known to manipulate images.
He previously photoshopped a tree into Meghan and Harry’s pregnancy announcement photo.
So, it begs the question: Did he also alter the photo purportedly taken at Frogmore Cottage?
Were media outlets unwittingly deceived into purchasing an image of an event that never actually occurred?
Speculation on Twitter suggests that the Sussex children were never in the UK during the Jubilee, which would mean Lily never had the opportunity to meet the late Queen.
According to Jobson’s book, Harry and Meghan last saw the Queen in April during the Invictus flyby.
If this information is accurate, it raises doubts about whether they brought their children to meet her in June.
If the story of meeting the Queen during the Platinum Jubilee is fabricated, then perhaps the birthday photos are as well.
Earlier reports from The Sun claimed that the Queen did meet Harry and Meghan’s daughter, but no official photo was taken as it was considered a private family gathering.
It is speculated that palace insiders may have been concerned that any photos taken by the couple would be shared with US TV networks or potentially included in Harry’s forthcoming memoir.
