For the Sussexes, anniversaries involving their children are fundamental. We saw it last May 6th when Prince Harry, in order not to miss Archie’s birthday, devoted only 24 hours of his time to the coronation of his father, so that after the ceremony was over, he would board the first flight to Los Angeles. A single hit and run, without even participating in a family dinner organized at Buckingham Palace in the early afternoon after emerging from the balcony. No wonder they look forward to June 4, on the day Lilibet Diana’s birthdaywho will blow out the first two candles.
Since when Harry and Megan decided to forego their obligations as working members of the royal family, family photos were only rarely seen and posted on the Archewell association website, as in the case of Christmas cards, where, in addition, the two children were often taken from behind and never from the front. . A small exception for Lilibet’s first birthday last year fell precisely on the long weekend of the platinum jubilee of Queen Elizabeth and that is why celebrated in London, in the garden of their home at Frogmore Cottage.along with some members of the royal family. More precisely: Zara and Mike Tindall, along with their three children Mia, Lena and Lucas, as well as Peter Phillips and his daughters Savannah and Isla. Also in attendance was former actress Misha Nonu’s best friend.
In a short video released in those days, Meghan is holding a baby dressed in a delightful blue dress while Harry lights a candle. After the ritual song, everyone comes up to blow on the cake, including little Archie, who has meanwhile climbed onto the table. A few moments of great intimacy shared with the loyal Sussex community. You can also see in the video two tiered cake made by Claire Ptak, the one who made Harry and Meghan’s wedding cake in 2018. A delightful lemon and elderflower creation topped with strawberry buttercream frosting and sugarpaste flowers. “It was a real pleasure to make this special cake last week for Lilibet’s birthday,” Ptak said. “I wish you a very happy year.”
It’s unlikely they’ll tap into British pastry prowess again given they have no intention of moving out of California. Of course, if last year the party was held behind closed doors with a handful of guests, then this time there could be even fewer relatives, given this, in all likelihood, the couple will remain in the US. On the line of the first birthday, Megan could arrange a small picnic in the garden of their Montecito estate.surrounded by the love of a few true friends. Following the news of a “nearly catastrophic incident” on the streets of New York that has thrown public opinion into a panic in recent weeks, resurrecting for a moment the tragedy of Princess Diana, the dukes have returned to the shadows. And while the newspapers continue to speculate about a possible family crisis, the couple is preparing to step over a new milestone for their daughter.
