The Windsors’ social media made a point of snubbing Princess Lilibet on her b-day

Princess Lilibet Diana turned two years old on Sunday. Her mom and dad were with her for her birthday, although her dad had to catch a flight to London at some point on Sunday. In any case, Lili spent her birthday at home in Montecito and we have no idea if anyone from Prince Harry’s family called or sent a birthday gift or anything. Given how consistently the Windsors leak sh-t to benefit themselves, I tend to believe that if a call was placed or gifts were sent, we would have found out about it. Instead, the Windsors are, as always, more than happy to take a public position of “snubbing a baby.” They did that when Lili was born, when it took more than seven weeks to add Lili’s name to the line of succession list. They did it again when it came to Archie and Lili’s titles following QEII’s death too, when the Letters Patent kicked in and they were automatically given titles as grandchildren of the monarch. Then it took months to update their titles to the line of succession. And don’t forget how the Windsors all snubbed Lili’s christening. All of which to say, the Windsors once again made a point of snubbing a baby… on her birthday.

Buckingham Palace insists that the king was not snubbling his granddaughter, Princess Lilibet, this weekend when official social media channels ignored her second birthday. Some reports characterized the omission as a deliberate snub, but a palace source said it had “never been protocol” to share formal birthday wishes for non-working members of the royal family or their children on “official channels.” It must be noted, however, that the birthdays of Lilibet and Archie were celebrated last year by royal social media accounts.

The source said that birthday wishes to the second child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have been shared privately.

The royal pushback came after the young Princess’ birthday assumed unusual constitutional significance after Prince Harry missed the first day of his scheduled court appearance in London because he was delayed by the celebrations. The irritated judge said he was “surprised” Harry had flouted his order to show up in London’s High Court Monday after his barrister cited Lilibet’s birthday party as a cause of his no-show.

Despite the palace’s denials that the lack of a birthday tweet or Insta post has any personal dimension, the omission is likely to further fuel speculation as to the extent of the fracturing of the relationship between the royal family and the Sussexes in the wake of Harry’s memoir, Spare. Protocol can change, of course, but the fact is that last year, when the queen was still alive, Lilibet and her brother Archie both received birthday wishes from official royal social media accounts.

The king’s various accounts have continued marking the birthdays of William and Kate’s children, and last year, the official Twitter accounts for the Prince and Princess of Wales also wished Lilibet a happy first birthday. Her brother Archie’s birthday went unremarked by the palace this year, however given it occurred on the same day as the coronation, the omission drew less attention.

[From The Daily Beast]

Yeah, I noticed that the royal accounts didn’t do say anything on Sunday, but then again, I wasn’t expecting them to. It surprised me last year when the Kensington Royal and Royal Family accounts did tweets for Lili’s first birthday, which of course was celebrated in the UK during the Jubbly. I wouldn’t expect Kensington Royal to say anything, given William’s incandescent rage and overwhelmingly childishness. But the Buckingham Palace-operated account? That’s the king’s granddaughter – it’s simply good form to just say “of course the king wishes his granddaughter a happy birthday.” But no, they’re incapable of that.

Sidenote: I absolutely believe that the Windsors are pissed that they don’t have photos of Archie and Lilibet to post on social media as well. They couldn’t even use the Misan Harriman photos last year on their social media accounts because the Sussexes only released those photos after Lili’s birthday and after they got the hell out of the UK. The Windsors are seething that they can’t exploit these two lovely ginger kids, including Princess Diana’s only blue-eyed grandchild.

    Oh Boy what a mess, and the Windsors cannot see that they created this mess but continue to perpatuate it, now using Harry’s book to bash Lilli, by with holding birthday wishes, you could have invited the family for the coronation then you would have had uptodate pics of the kids (maybe) but no you continue down this rabbit hole making things worse and widening the Gap then blaming Meghan and harry for the Gap. Sheesh!

    • theRobinsons says:

      I’m sure they can’t stand that the only blue eyed (Princess Lili) grandchild comes from Meghan’s body and not Kate.

    • AnnaKist says:

      Well there you are. As if anyone needed reminding about just how despicable these people are. They will never learn. This is them. God knows what’s next, because there will always be a next. They are detestable creatures, the Windsors.

      • Cara says:

        Charles needs to climb out of his coffin (or whatever the f*ck he does in Transylvania) and hop on a plane to visit those children in Montecito. He is wealthy and has tons of free time. Any normal grandparent with his advantages would visit those children at least twice each year. His casual attitude toward his own flesh and blood is chilling. Even Donald Trump is a better grandparent than this guy.

      • HennyO says:

        Next, no birthday wishes to Harry (or Meghan) any longer.
        But that’s fine. I don’t think that H&M care much about the salt island Windsors’ petty behaviour anymore.

  2. ThatsNotOkay says:

    Eh. At least they’re being consistent and not performative. If you’re gonna be hateful and snub, go all out, full throttle. No more of this, I hate you but come to my crown but no tiaras party so I can ignore you in person, please. And who knows, if well wishes were shared in private then that’s even better and more sincere, imo.

  3. Chloe says:

    I might be the only one but i am glad that they didn’t. First of all it only opens the kids up to abuse. The times they wished Archie a happy birthday are a clear example of that. Second: they wouldn’t mean it anyway. Third: I absolutely hate it when Charles plays the sympathetic grandpa card. So i am happy he didn’t pretend this time.

    • one of the marys says:

      Chloe you have captured all my reasons too

    • Genevieve says:

      Apparently he’s ordered or maybe already sent a custom-built playhouse for Lilibet, though, so there’s still some performance.

      • Amy Bee says:

        @Genevieve: That’s not a believable story. Archie and Lili already have a playhouse.

      • HeatherC says:

        I think it’s completely believable that Charles knows so little about his grandkids that he’d made a “Grand” gesture like this without knowing, considering or caring if it was needed, wanted or just redundant.

      • Monlette says:

        I sincerely doubt he ordered a playhouse. It’s a lot cheaper and easier to lie. I know these toxic types well. Charles looks like Grampa of the Year to these ingrates and what are they going to do about it? Give the press a guided tour of their entire estate to prove it’s not there?

      • Doppelgangers R'Us says:

        @GENEVIEVE I believe if Charles has had a custom made Wendy house for Lilibeth, it has been designed to look like Frogmore Cottage.
        Just to turn the knife.
        Charles isn’t a loving grandfather, he is only about himself and his wants and desires.

      • loras says:

        Many Grandparents don’t call on their grandchildren birtday.This really isn’t that odd

      • Jais says:

        Just recalled. Don’t they have a playhouse already? It was literally in that illustration Christmas card one year.

    • Swaz says:

      You’re not the only one, I’m glad that they didn’t after Charles evicted them from their home 🏡 Charles couldn’t care less about Harry and his family.

    • TheWigletOfWails says:

      Ding, ding, ding!!! The comments on their social media pages after a birthday post for the Sussexes are so vile and toxic and they intentionally let those comments fester instead of shutting them down.

      Also, If they had to share birthday messages, they’d have had to use their Prince and Princess titles, and we all know how they feel about that given their unwillingness to update the BaRF’s website until Harry and Meghan forced them to. So spare us and the Sussexes all that abuse and fakeness.

      • Christine says:

        Agreed, they use their various palace social media accounts to bully Harry and Meghan, not shutting the comments section like they do all the time for the Wails. They clearly get off on posting a benign comment and then walking away all, “what, we can’t control what other people say on the internet!”

        They actively encourage cyber-bullying on their own accounts, it’s just that simple.

    • Mary Pester says:

      SCUM, no other word for any of them, just SCUM

  4. Brassy Rebel says:

    This is the aspect of Charles’character and temperament which is most offensive to me. A grandfather who doesn’t love his own small grandchildren is beyond redemption as far as I am concerned.

    • Tacky says:

      I think Charles loves his grandchildren very much. Unfortunately, he can’t control his ego and self righteousness enough to have a relationship with them. He’s a weak man,

      • Tessa says:

        A case of whatever love means for charles

      • Amy Bee says:

        @Tacky: If Charles truly loved Archie and Lili he would want to see them. He’s never made an attempt to see them and barely acknowledges them as his grandchildren

      • Ace says:

        That’s not love.

      • MsIam says:

        Charles claims to “love” Harry too. A lot of abusive parents say that. I don’t think Charles loves the Sussex kids anymore than Toxic Markle loves them.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        So many of Charles’ horrible traits get chalked up to “he’s a weak man” rather than he has horrible character and was raised to be a narcissist. Charles is not weak when he wants something to happen. He makes it happen. If he loved the Sussex kids, he would see them often.

      • Tan says:

        Loved them so much that he took away their British home and still want their mother dead or divorced

      • SURE says:

        @BrassyRebel Interestingly, Andrew was raised to be a narcissist, is in fact a horrible character but still clearly loves his daughters. Maybe KFC is a borderline psychopath?

      • Jaded says:

        Sure. He loved Archie so much he pulled their RPO security.

      • Monlette says:

        I don’t think he loves them. He cut Archie’s security and refused to take any of Harry’s calls. He broke the lease on Frogmore Cottage, further undermining their security in the UK. He threw himself and Camilla the “party of the century” on Archie’s birthday and didn’t invite Archie. The fact it was a complete dud is no doubt adding gas to the fire.

      • Beverley says:

        Oh yeah, he loves his grandchildren so much he couldn’t be bothered to attend Lilibet’s christening.

      • Suzy says:

        In my view, if you love someone, you try and have respect for that person by trying to meet that person’s needs– as the LOVED ONE sees their needs– not solely as you define them.

        KC has never tried to meet Harry’s needs – as Harry sees them, not KC– or let alone Meghan’s, Archie’s or Lilibet’s. His actions show that everything is all about him and he’s profoundly unloving towards all of them.

      • Carmen says:

        As a grandmother myself, I can tell you that you do not show love to your grandchildren by ignoring them on their birthday!

      • Christine says:

        I just want one example of Chuck loving ANY of his grandchildren. Just one, I dare you!

  5. Becks1 says:

    If well wishes were shared in private we 100% would have heard it – that palace source would have made sure to have said “the king spoke with the princess and wished her happy birthday privately” or something. No, they are completely ignoring a 2 year old as a way to punish her and her father and mother.

    I do like how this article points out TWICE that the royal family accounts wished Lili a happy birthday last year.

    • Dee(2) says:

      And for the Wales’ kids, so do they consider them working royals now? As much as they make those kids come out I wouldn’t be surprised, but it’s clearly an excuse. Am I mistaken in thinking they did wish Harry and Meghan happy birthday in 2020 at least? I’m glad they’re not pretending though, it’s incredibly fake to not come to christenings, birthday parties, or wish people happy birthday and then try to play the aggrieved, confused, and sad family member.

  6. Loretta says:

    Little Princess Lilibet is so cute

    • Blue Nails Betty says:

      @Loretta. I am ride or die for Lilibet and Archie. They have my fealty and my sword. I felt the same way about Harry when he was born. William was adorable but there was something about Harry that tugged at my heart.

      I know it’s silly to feel strongly protective of someone I’ll never meet but at least there are a lot of us who feel this way so I’m in good company. 😁

      • Serenity says:

        No @BNBetty, you are not alone. I feel the same about Harry, Meg, and especially the beautiful children.

      • Princessk says:

        That is exactly how I felt when Diana died. I felt a surge of motherly love for William and Harry, and like many others pledged to protect them both from afar.
        What a pity that William has turned into a cold and jealous man but for Diana’s sake I am still hoping that the brothers can reunite.
        All the grandchildren are innocents and need protection from what the toxic media is doing.

  7. Nubia says:

    What they should do moving forward is simply wish the spouses and kids in their own court on their individual accounts. Otherwise publicly playing favourites and being inconsistent just looks juvenile.

    • Christine says:

      Or just pick up a phone, send a card, or send a gift, like the rest of us. I don’t need to congratulate myself as a daughter, mother, sister, or aunt, on social media, by saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” to my relatives.

      If you need to wish your own spouse or children a happy birthday on social media, you don’t live with them.

  8. JMmoney says:

    They’ve used that one photo they have of Lilibet to death that they’ve given up altogether.

    In all seriousness, I think the real reason is twofold: 1. They don’t want to give the impression to the tabloids/British media oligarchs that they support H in anyway. The RF chose and will always choose the media over Harry. 2. The RF previously sent birthday gifts to Lili and Archie and I think they’ve stopped that and fully gone no contact bc they are cheap villains. Plain and simple.

    • Patricia says:

      And never forget @JMMoney the Queen Sidepiece’s role in this. It infuriates that cow that Diana’s grandchildren are so adorable and I’m sure every time these beautiful children are mentioned, QSP blood pressure goes sky high. She wouldn’t deign to remind Charlie, that these are from his first wife while there is nothing from his sidewhore. I just love the fact that no matter how hard Camilla tries, she cannot erase Diana from the world who loved their People’s Princess.

  9. Jais says:

    Lilli has never been a working royal and yet they did birthday wishes twice already. Are Charlotte George and Louis working royals? So that reason just does not work.

    • SURE says:

      For me the difference is that QEII is no longer alive and this act of erasure by KFC makes her look like a more caring parent and grandparent in comparison to him.

      • Leslie says:

        @SURE: This. The only reason they acknowledged Archie and Lili’s birthdays in the past was because HM The Queen was alive to spur them into a modicum of decency and post their birthday wishes on social media. Since she passed, the entire Windsor sh*t show has spun into overdrive and their true colours have been revealed.

      • MsIam says:

        I thought the queen was “angry” at Harry and he made her last years a “misery”? The queen was perfectly capable of holding a grudge, just look at the Duchess of Windsor situation. Once again another lie from the media. The queen understood well and good what the Sussexes were going through and she would never take anything out on two innocent toddlers.

      • Blue Nails Betty says:

        @Sure. Yep, all of this. Add in how jealous Charles was of the affection Elizabeth showed to Harry and it gets even more obvious.

    • Princessk says:

      Yes, George, Charlotte and Louis are working royals, poor things, just look at the way their parents use them!

  10. girl_ninja says:

    It’s all ownership with the Windsors. They can’t control the Sussex’s so they pretend to ignore them. I’m glad that they don’t have any updated photos of Lili and Archie. We all know they are pissed about that and chomping at the bit for them.

  11. Over it says:

    It really makes me happy to know that Harry and Meghan keep chuck and his den of demons at arm’s length because chuck and his den really are the perfect example of evil. Imagine being a grown a-aaaas man with so much privilege and everything that comes with it and you still have you panties in a twist over two babies . Like chucky and wank really aren’t alright

  12. Southern Fried says:

    I love that picture of Misan’s family with Meghan and Lilibet. The RF can go fk themselves. Purposely hating on a baby, a relative no less is the lowest. I hope they never have any access to Harry and his family. I hope the trial reveals exactly how his family constantly betrayed Harry.

  13. Beverley says:

    Man, there is a strong vein of bigotry in the Royal Family that they couldn’t bring themselves to acknowledge those children’s birthdays. Racial hatred runs so deep, they eagerly snub a toddler. The Windsors just simply don’t care how this looks to the rest of the world. It’s mind boggling that they must feel that their subjects approve of this trifling behavior.

  14. Tessa says:

    How can those children be working royal family members.
    Charles is a horrible grandfather

    • Princessk says:

      George, Charlotte and Louis are working royals, poor things, just look at the way their parents use them!

  15. CheChe says:

    Princess Lili has a community of caring people that wished her well on her birthday with numerous donations and best wishes. It is a loss for the royals in their mission to have good family values.

  16. Kittenmom says:

    Last year, they seemed to make a point of publicly snubbing Lili’s birthday party at Windsor. WanK’s kids didn’t attend, like they were too good for it. They like to pretend these children just don’t exist. Burns me up.

  17. Noor says:

    They never had a prince who is the son of a king voluntarily stepped back from being a senior working royal. So all that protocols and strict distinctions between working and nonworking royals are devised to continually punish Prince Harry and family. It is a case of cutting your nose to spite your face.

  18. IEurydice says:

    This “working royals” excuse is just stupid strategy. Setting aside Archie and Lili, if the RF wants to show that they’re alive and thriving, they should be celebrating every milestone of every family member.

  19. s808 says:

    I’m fine with the lack of fake social media pleasantries tbh. they may be her blood but they’re not her family. I’m sure she spent her birthday with the ones who love her and that is most important.

  20. How to say we are a racist family without saying out loud. But really this is saying it out loud.

  21. Snuffles says:

    The only thing that matters is that Lili had a great birthday with her parents, her big brother and her little toddler friends.

    20 years from now she’s not going to give a fuck that she didn’t get a social media shout out from those weird Windsors.

  22. Amy Bee says:

    I’m not surprised that they didn’t mark Lili’s birthday. It was dumb when used to tweet birthday greetings to Archie using the same old christening photo each year. Given the family’s reluctance to accept Harry’s children as part of the family it’s better that they don’t send out birthday greetings.

  23. Eating Popcorn says:

    If I hear ‘Nonworking Royal’ one more time, please – which of these freeloaders is going to the coal mine, curing cancer, making their own breakfast? That is KCIII and every other dilettantes’ excuse for rudeness to the Suxxess. Just stop.

  24. Chantal says:

    C-Rex – “How can I show everyone how much I suck at being a father, grandfather and overall decent human being?” It’s like he has a daily competition to outdo his last terrible act. His actions/inaction are speaking loudly. He had better hope that Camel doesn’t go before him bc he will be at the complete mercy of the men in gray, AngryBird, and the gangster mafia posing as the BM. And as we are learning from recent leaks about TQ, they have no problem with abusing the elderly.

    My grandmother hated (seriously hated) my mother for “stealing her son” and while she had no problem letting everyone know how she felt about my mother (and the feeling was mutual), she didn’t transfer those feelings to me. But after she essentially declared war on my mother, my father kept us away from her except for a visit every couple of years and we never stayed long. He wanted me to know her but greatly limited my exposure to her after her toxicity grew. The toxicity and racism of the RF is so pervasive that I don’t think those beautiful Sussex children should even have limited exposure. IMO, the damage it would do isn’t worth it.

    • Beverley says:

      Agreed, @Chantal. Why expose these precious children to family members who consider them “less than” due to their Black blood? With relatives like these, they don’t need enemies.

  25. IRONE says:

    They didn’t wish Archie and Lili a happy birthday this year because they didn’t want to use the title of Prince and Princess.

    • Becks1 says:

      I would not be surprised if this played a large part in the silence.

    • Lady D says:

      Exactly why they were silent. Plus, they’re still pissed that Harry beat them to the punch giving his children their titles publicly.

  26. emberly says:

    It was for the best. Who wants that “Vampire Energy”, ruining a child’s birthday?

    • Doppelgangers R'Us says:

      @EMBERLY
      I seriously LOLd at your comment!
      Vampire Energy is so appropriate, and the chefs kiss is C3Pod being in Transylvania during Harry’s UK trial!

      I am sending the Sussex family loving and protective vibes!

  27. aquarius64 says:

    Lilies and Archie are better off without the vile Windsors and Markles. They only want to use them for their gains. I’m sorry when they are old enough to road this garbage.

  28. Athena says:

    Lili is unbothered. She spend her birthday with the people she knows and didn’t think of or concern herself with people she doesn’t know.

    I suspect Camilla is behind the silence from BP.

    • Christine says:

      I don’t think so. Cam really seems to love her own grandchildren, and spends a lot of time with them, at Ray Mill, if anything the British media writes is correct. I can’t see this as a hill Cam wants to die on.

  29. L4Frimaire says:

    Ever since Meghan’s peaceful under a tree pregnancy announcement portrait, the Windsor’s have had in for Princess Lilibet. They lost it and were completely nasty over her being named Lilibet Diana, as well as being the blue eyed baby with the Black grandmother. Anyway, tired of the royals pretending to care about Harry’s kids with these insincere birthday posts that invite abuse on social media. Actions speak way louder than words and their actions have been both vicious and cowardly. Whether planning his coronation on Archie’s birthday or having the palace brief against a newborn, or evicting them from their secure housing at Frogmore, Charles has shown, once again, how terrible a person he is when it comes to Harry and his children.

  30. GamerGrrl says:

    The insistence on referring to them as “non-working royals” rather than family tells you everything you need to know…

  31. Roan Inish says:

    Is it true what the Daily Beast wrote regarding the judge admonishing Harry for his absence from court on Monday?
    I thought the tabloids mistakenly said he was missing from the 1st day when he really didn’t need to be there. Were there any other plaintiffs in court on Monday?

  32. K.W. says:

    Charlotte has blue eyes. They’re not bright blue like Lili’s, but they’re blue.

    • Mary says:

      Look again.

    • Haylie says:

      No. Charlotte’s eyes are not blue. It’s part of why derangers are so mad that Lili’s eyes are blue. Like Diana’s.

    • Ery says:

      All of Wales’s kids have brown/hazel eyes including charlote (not that this is important just saying)

    • Beverley says:

      Kate must be so envious and pissed off that Meghan gave birth to Diana’s blue-eyed, ginger granddaughter.

  33. crazyoldlady says:

    I’m not a fan of this hyper-performative trend that the (royal family or any family) must wish family members happy birthday on social media. We don’t know what happened – for all we know, they sent presents, or had a private Zoom, or they fully ignored her – but turning a 2-year-old child’s birthday into “the family is snubbing and warring” clickbait to drive online engagement and ad dollars is disgusting. Birthdays should not be media events – they are ordinary human milestones and should not be monetized by the media to create drama. We have enough real drama. Leave Lilibet alone. Let her be 2.

  34. Mel says:

    I’m sorry but it’s ok if they didn’t say anything, it would be the height of hypocrisy if they did. The baby doesn’t care about these people that she doesn’t know. I’m sure Harry and Megan don’t care either, at this point they’re probably all “whatever” when it comes to the family. As for the Christening, you can’t snub something you weren’t invited to. I don’t believe they invited any of them and if they did it was “let’s just say we did and don’t ” type of thing. Harry and Megan do not care, but the family and media let them live rent free in their heads.

    • MsIam says:

      We have no idea how Harry and Meghan feel about anything so we can’t assume “they don’t care”. But considering Harry missed Archie’s birthday for Charles’ shiny hat party would it be too much for a grandfather to acknowledge his grand daughter’s birthday? The daughter of his ” dear boy”? They publicly snubbed Lili to send a message to the Sussexes and the rest of the world.

      • Mel says:

        That can be true, but why do you think they care so much that they’re doing score keeping? Frankly, their demeanor appears to be one of people who have or are in the process of letting go. They don’t wail and gnash their teeth about it because they know the devil their dealing with. It’s the media and upber fans who won’t stop the score keeping and imagining what everyone is feeling when they don’t know. What message could they be sending that the Sussexes already didn’t get? They have no control over them. Everyone is being way too dramatic over this.

    • Ery says:

      Actually I believe they did invited them to christening but it was so called courtesy invitation which the Susexes neither expected nor wanted to be accepted given the fact Harry doesn’t trust his brother and sister in law (having in mind most of the leaks and intrigues in the tabloids were Wales’s creation. And I’m pretty sure Harry wouldn’t want his children anywhere around near William ant kate. And if they had accepted the invitation, I’m sure Harry and Meghan would’ve been really upset and wouldn’t know what to do with Waleses

  35. Kukuviza says:

    I think that neither the birthdays of the other nephews and niece were celebrated on socials… so what’s the point?

  36. j.ferber says:

    They are just the worst people ever. The very worst.

  37. Tamra says:

    Lilibet, Archie and the Wails children are not working royals. This is just more RACISM from the PALACES! We see you!

    • Princessk says:

      George, Charlotte and Louis are working royals, poor things, just look at the way their parents use them!

  38. Well Wisher says:

    Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have received the best birthday gifts this year, non-acknowledgement from the toxic(s).
    I am sure their individual birthdays were filled with joy, and were spent with people whom loves them, their intimate and extended family…….
    Good Manners indicate that “I wish you no harm”; using this analogy what can one extrapolate the omission and its subsequent explanation??
    Remember Prince Archie is 4 years old and Princess Lilibet is 2 years old….
    Petty much!!

  39. bisynaptic says:

    “The royal pushback came after the young Princess’ birthday assumed unusual constitutional significance after Prince Harry missed the first day of his scheduled court appearance in London because he was delayed by the celebrations.”
    —Say what?!?

    “…[T]he omission is likely to further fuel speculation as to the extent of the fracturing of the relationship between the royal family and the Sussexes…”
    —If anything, the omission should fuel speculation about the coziness of the relationship between the royal family and the tabloid press.

  40. AC says:

    I was exactly thinking the same thing as @kaiser mentioned 😀. Lillibet’s blue eyes and she’s Charle’s only grandchild who has them. Agree, I think that’s driving them Nuts that they don’t have access to HM’s beautiful children.
    One thing also, Lili’s born here in California, she’s already American(same as Archie of course). The only difference is Lili being born in the US.
    What’s more special imo, is that both Archie and Lili came from the best of both worlds combined. With all the chaos going in that family, both Archie and Lili represents the hope of what Can be the best of the 2 worlds . And what the 21st century is heading towards – diversity and being multicultural.
    Btw.. I saw a photo of Olivia Munn’s baby boy. Would be super cute if they had play dates together 😀.

    Someday Archie and Lili are going to watch that interview of their English grandfather saying, “whatever in love means,” and realize, “Oh, that checks out … No wonder we never heard from that old man.”

    Meanwhile, they’re growing up surrounded by love.

    @juli8574- yeah, Florida is a different animal with their psycho/dictator of a governor. And I’m glad Disney decided to cancel relocating their Imagineers to Florida. California and other blue states are a complete 180 to Florida.

    Archie and Lili will be fine because they have good parents and are not made to perform in public. The ones who are likely to have problems growing up are the three “working” Wales kids. The media has already identified George as serious and dedicated and labeled poor Louis as a clown, misfit, etc. They are well-behaved in public but I wonder exactly what getting them that way has occurred during the “training” by their nanny and parents!!

    All of this should remind us that this Royal “Family” is not the kind of family you would want to grow up in. And who among us would want to work for our weird father and grandfather! Harry was right that his father and brother were trapped in this life.

    If Lilibet were my granddaughter, I’d be so honored and proud. I’d dote on her and visit her often (same with sweet Archie). I’d thank my lucky stars for such wonderful babies and do all I could to make them and their parents feel loved and cherished. Then you have the nutty, inhuman Markle and Charlie men. They are both cut from the same cloth– narcissistic, warped, cold and vicious. These beautiful children are too good for their deficient grandfathers. Thank God neither man is in their lives.

    Queen Lizzie is dead as several posters stated-they only did it because she was alive-now that the queen is dead-they nolonger want to acknowledge Harry’s children-so be it-those children have two loving and caring parents-they will guide their children through this tough world of royalty and its meaness towards them-so much has been written which will stay on social media forever. King Charles looks like a coward for running away from Harry when he is in town-no fatherly love at all.

    Happy Birthday, Princess Lilibet!

  47. Cassie says:

    I am sure the kids will be fine.
    Loving parents and grandmother and a strong network of loyal friends .

  48. Cindy says:

    Maybe everyone in the family is guilty of not communicating best wishes on births, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, etc. Lilibet and Archie are strangers to their father’s and mother’s families. Their maternal grandmother is the only relative they recognize.

    • Tessa says:

      Grandfather tom would be recognized if he had not run to the media to get money from ranting about his daughter. Charles merely had to call and say yes.to the invite for him to go to Lily christening. This is all on them. Plus the paternal grandmother is deceased. But the great aunts on the Spencer side visit.

    Doesn’t look like Charles will ever have a photo like that of the queen and Philip smiling at little Archie with the Sussexes looking so proud and happy. And it’s his own doing.

  51. Lily says:

    I don’t miss hearing from toxic family members.
