In a recent turn of events, Meghan Markle‘s friend has stirred the pot by mocking Princess Kate for her absence at Princess Lilibet‘s first birthday celebration.
This incident has reignited discussions about royal family dynamics, particularly regarding the interactions between the Sussexes and the Cambridges.
Princess Lilibet, who recently celebrated her third birthday, spent her first birthday in the UK without the presence of her aunt and uncle, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
This notable absence didn’t go unnoticed, especially by Garcelle Beauvais, an actress from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and a close friend of Meghan.
She didn’t hold back her thoughts on the matter, suggesting that Kate’s absence was rather shady.
Reflecting on the day, Beauvais pointed out the irony of the situation.
Speaking to E!, she quipped, “It’s like, what a coincidence, we’re out of town, and I’m washing my hair.” It’s clear she felt that Kate’s excuse for missing the birthday was less than convincing and dripped with sarcasm.
The controversy began when William and Kate opted not to attend the festivities, citing their commitments to concert rehearsals at Cardiff Castle, part of the celebrations for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Critics quickly questioned whether they could have adjusted their schedule to make time for Lilibet’s special day.
Beauvais didn’t mince words, asking, “No, can’t they postpone the travel for a few hours so they can meet Archie and Lilibet?”
At the time of Lilibet’s first birthday, she had just made one trip to the UK, primarily for the Jubilee celebrations.
Meghan and Harry attended several events during this historic occasion, while their children, Archie and Lilibet, remained largely out of the public eye.
It was a bittersweet moment for the family, as they balanced royal obligations with personal milestones.
Reports suggest that Meghan and Harry hosted a small gathering at Frogmore Cottage to celebrate Lilibet’s first birthday.
The guest list included close family members but notably excluded Kate, William, and their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
This absence further fueled speculation about the ongoing rift between the two families.
Adding to the drama, neither King Charles nor Queen Camilla attended the birthday celebration.
After Lilibet turned one, a charming photo of her surfaced online, likely taken during her birthday festivities in the UK.
The image quickly went viral, capturing the hearts of many royal watchers.
