Birthday and coronation fell on the same day – and little Archie celebrated in silence. While Harry made a whirlwind visit to London, his son stayed behind.
Children’s birthday in the shadow of the coronation: Prince Archie celebrated in distant California, while his grandfather King Charles III. cheered at the coronation in Britain. For the fourth anniversary of her first child, Duchess Meghan is said to have organized a “modest birthday party”, reports the Irish newspaper “Sun”. The royal family did not officially comment on Archie’s birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex reportedly hosted a “private celebration” at her Montecito mansion. In addition, “a small group of friends and family” came. From the family environment it was said that the birthday child was able to enjoy a homemade lemon cake. The Duchess is said to have picked the fruit in her garden. It is not known whether prominent neighbors such as Oprah Winfrey, Gwyneth Paltrow and Ellen DeGeneres were among the guests.
Swipe at the palace? Archie’s picture with Grandma Diana
Meghan’s friend Misan Harriman congratulated via Instagram – with a scene that British media as a dig at King Charles III. and interpret Camilla. Because of all things on his coronation day, the photographer chose the scene from Meghan and Harry’s Netflix documentary in which little Archie touches a picture of his grandmother Diana. Charles’ first wife wears a crown on it.
Meanwhile, the royal family “ignored” Archie’s day of honor, as reported, among other things, by the British “Express”. On May 6th, Buckingham Palace and the royal couple of Wales only posted pictures of the coronation ceremonies.
2022 still different: This time William and Kate did not post anything
The royal family announced last year that they would no longer mention the birthdays of non-working royals. Kate and William had nonetheless sent congratulations to Archie on his third birthday in 2022 on their Twitter account. This time, however, one looks for such a greeting in vain.
