Inside Princess Lilibet’s third birthday: ‘Gift’ from King Charles, party with celebrity guests and ’squabbles’ with Archie

Princess Lilibet celebrated her third birthday an entire ocean away from the Windsors and did not receive any public wishes from them on Tuesday, June 4.

The youngest child to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Lilibet celebrated her birthday with a star-studded party at the Sussexes’ $14 million mansion in Montecito, California, over the weekend. Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and other celebrities are believed to have attended the birthday bash.

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, or Lili, was named using one of the nicknames for the late Queen Elizabeth II. She also made history by being the first senior royal baby to be born in the U.S.

It was only about a year after her birth when Lilibet traveled to the UK to physically meet her father’s side of the family. At the time, Prince Harry and his wife traveled with their two children to attend Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee festivities in June 2022. Interestingly, the trip coincided with the little one’s first birthday, which allowed the royal family to celebrate the day together at Frogmore Cottage.

“Wishing Lilibet a very Happy 1st Birthday!” read a tweet from the late queen’s official account that year.
