The Royal Family has chosen to remain silent on June 4th, failing to extend birthday wishes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter, Lilibet Diana, who is celebrating her second birthday in Los Angeles.
This year, the absence of any mention of Lilibet’s birthday on any of the Royal Family’s social media accounts is a stark contrast to last year when they took the time to offer their best wishes to the little girl.
On June 4th, 2021, Buckingham Palace’s official Twitter account shared a post wishing Lilibet a very happy first birthday.
Even Prince Charles and Camilla, now the Prince and Princess of Wales, sent their birthday wishes to their niece.
However, this year, there has been no public acknowledgment of Lilibet’s special day.
Similarly, the Royal Family remained silent on May 6th, when Harry and Meghan’s son Archie turned four.
It is speculated that the reason for this radio silence could be attributed to the busy day of the King’s coronation.
However, some believe that the lack of birthday greetings for either child indicates a shift in the Royal Family’s approach, suggesting they may no longer participate in such public displays.
According to the New York Post’s Page 6, Lilibet’s birthday celebration will include a small gathering with a few celebrities and toddlers in attendance.
Royal expert and journalist Jenny Bond expressed her expectations for a laid-back party with a sprinkle of celebrities and other young children.
She also hoped that Lilibet would have a video call with her grandfather, the King, and receive a special gift delivered to Montecito for her birthday.
Questions have arisen regarding how much Prince Harry and Meghan’s children know about their British heritage and their roles within the world’s oldest monarchy.
Jenny Bond believes that since the couple has given their children titles, they likely want them to understand their heritage.
She also emphasized the importance of allowing children to make their own choices in the future, suggesting that court life may not be appealing to them given their American upbringing.
In an interesting development, it has been reported that King Charles III is considering custom-made cubby houses for his grandchildren, similar to the ones Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had during their childhood.
This gesture aims to provide Lilibet with something she can call her own, creating a lasting memory for her.
However, Prince Harry has cautioned his father against excessive extravagance.
Contrary to expectations, no new photos of Archie or Lilibet were released on their respective birthdays this year.
Last year, a picture of Lilibet was shared, but it was never confirmed as her.
This year, there are no photographs at all, leading some to question the existence of Lilibet and Archie.
Speculation suggests that if Lilibet were real, Meghan would have sold a picture of him, especially considering the fuss she made about his birthday.
However, no such photograph has been produced.
As the Royal Family remains tight-lipped about Lilibet’s birthday and refrains from sharing any images, the public is left to wonder about the truth behind the existence of these royal children.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Lilibet Diana and Archie, as they navigate their unique position within the British monarchy.
