Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their daughter Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday with a private party at their home in Montecito, California, on June 4. The couple hosted close friends to mark the special occasion.
Despite the royal family’s policy of not publicly acknowledging birthdays of non-working royals, King Charles III reportedly sent a thoughtful birthday gift to his granddaughter, further demonstrating his continued affection for her. The King, who often follows traditional royal protocols, is known for sending gifts to his grandchildren on their birthdays, ensuring they feel cherished on their special days.
A royal source shared that the monarch’s gesture showed his commitment to maintaining family bonds, even amid tensions with Prince Harry and Meghan. The insider added that King Charles has always made sure to send presents to mark his grandchildren’s birthdays, underscoring his belief that family ties should remain intact despite adult disagreements.
In keeping with tradition, Meghan also shared a heartwarming photo of Lilibet on her birthday, a gesture that reflected the family’s ongoing connection to royal customs despite being away from the UK.
