Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter Princess Lilibet turned three on Tuesday but a Sussex insider says her birthday celebrations have an “underlying” melancholy due to the family’s estrangement from the monarchy.
Princess Lilibet is celebrating her third birthday at home in California but a Sussex insider said the seventh-in-line to throne’s big day has “underlying sadness”.
“It is amazing that she's already three but there is this underlying sadness of course because of the rift that the King is not seeing his grandchildren,” he told the Express newspaper on Monday.“I think he's only met Lilibet possibly once and Archie only a couple of times and they are seventh and eighth in line to the throne , growing up in California on the West Coast of America with American accents and they just don't see them.
Meghan’s father Thomas Markle has reportedly never met his grandkids or son-in-law Prince Harry after selling stories about his world-famous daughter to the tabloids ahead of her wedding in 2018.The Duchess of Sussex later admitted her father’s"betrayal" was something she could not"reconcile" during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, coincidentally while pregnant with Lilibet.
Harry and Meghan's decision to grant their children the royal titles despite slamming the institution and quitting royal duties baffled many Britons and was accused of being a cynical move by the Sussexes to capitalise on their royal connections.
