In the latest episode of their Netflix docu-series, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s youngest child takes center stage.
The episode features heartwarming footage of their daughter shortly after her birth and captures the celebrations of her first birthday earlier this year.
The couple, along with their two children, celebrated Lilibet’s special day with a charming garden picnic at Frogmore Cottage during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee festivities.
The scene unfolds with a beautifully laid out linen tablecloth on the grounds of Frogmore Cottage, the couple’s former residence on the late Queen’s beloved Windsor estate.
Prince Harry, dressed casually in a polo shirt and navy chinos, carefully lights the candles on Lilibet’s birthday cake, shielding the flame from the breeze.
Meghan holds their daughter at a safe distance, while their barefooted son Archie, sporting jeans and a white shirt, watches from the garden furniture.
Eventually, Archie climbs onto the table to lend a hand in blowing out his little sister’s candles.
However, some eagle-eyed royal fans have raised questions about the authenticity of the photos.
They speculate that the pictures might not have been taken at Frogmore Cottage but rather in California.
Observing the different clothing worn by Meghan and Harry compared to the supposed Frogmore photos, as well as Archie’s apparent inability to walk and Harry’s missing head, they suggest that the background may have been photoshopped.
Additionally, they point out that Frogmore Cottage has a higher roof than the location depicted in the photos.
Further doubts arise regarding the presence of other guests at the party.
Critics note that there are never any other people, besides Meghan’s mother Doria, seen at their children’s birthday celebrations.
This has led to speculation about the couple’s social circle and the absence of friends or other children.
The seemingly desolate atmosphere of these events has raised eyebrows among royal enthusiasts.
One commenter even suggests that the photos were staged, as they believe Lily’s crying during the candle-blowing moment contradicts the absence of other guests.
They question why the couple would go to such lengths to create an illusion.
Another critic points out the blurriness and lack of focus in the photos, suggesting that they might have been manipulated.
They propose that the cake, table, and parents were photographed separately and then digitally combined with a different background.
These speculations have elicited sympathy for the couple’s children, particularly Archie and Lilibet.
Commenters express sadness for the siblings, who seem to lack the presence of an extended family at their celebrations.
Despite having numerous cousins, uncles, and aunts, no one from the royal family appears to have attended.
This isolation and missed opportunity for familial connections may become apparent to the children as they grow older.
In June, royal expert Camilla Tominey shed light on the situation, claiming that members of the royal family were reluctant to admit their involvement in Lilibet’s birthday party.
According to a source, there was a certain hesitancy among the royals to acknowledge any participation in the event.
As the Harkles’ docu-series continues to captivate audiences, the spotlight remains on their family dynamics and the unique challenges they face.
