King Charles had planned to give his granddaughter Lilibet a very lavish gift for her second birthday - before Prince Harry handed him a 'warning' on what to purchase.
The monarch was instructed to opt for a 'less extravagant' gift than he had planned by his second-born son, according to OK! Magazine. A source said Charles had "his aides looking at custom-made cubby houses, similar to what the queen and Princess Margaret had when they were girls."
The insider added: "He wants to give Lili something she will use and be hers. She’ll remember it forever – it’s going to be the ultimate surprise."
However, it's unclear whether the King heeded Harry's wishes or went all out for the youngster, who is seventh in line to the throne. Royal family sources have remained tight-lipped about Lili's party - but it's been reported that her party took place at Harry and Meghan’s £16 million Montecito home.
And despite the King's private plans for his granddaughter's birthday celebrations, he - alongside other senior royals - noticeably chose not to share a public birthday tribute on Twitter, as is usually the custom.
A royal source told the same publication it was because they "don’t mark the birthdays of non-working members". "They, of course, wish Lilibet a very happy birthday, but nothing will be put out on any channels," the insider claimed.
It marks a different policy to that of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who honoured her great-granddaughter with a Twitter post for her first birthday last June. "Wishing Lilibet a very Happy 1st Birthday!" the Queen shared via her official social media account at the time.
However since then, the relationship between Harry and Meghan and his family has plunged to its lowest point yet following the

Montecito, California home.Sir Michael Stevens — the Keeper of the Privy Purse, who handles the finances for the royal family — confirmed the news yesterday that the two vacated the property.The move comes just a few months after Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, were evicted from the cottage by King Charles.The Invictus Games founder and the former actress now no longer have a place to stay when they visit the U.K. and will have to cough up the dough for a hotel instead.The Post has reached out to Harry and Markles’ reps for comment.
Prince William and King Charles have reportedly reached a "stalemate" in their attempt to rebuild their relationship with Prince Harry as the feud between the royals continues on.
King Charles, who recently celebrated his first official birthday as the monarch, is “keen to heal the family rift” between his son Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since they stepped down as senior royals in March 2020. A royal expert has explained that there has been a strain on the royal family since the duo stepped down three years ago, which has been particularly felt for King Charles and Prince William.
Harry’s claims in his book “Spare” as well as his 2020 move to California with his wife, Meghan Markle.Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” alleges that the Prince of Wales, 41, is still fuming over Harry’s 400-page memoir.“William is still simmering with resentment over ‘Megxit,’ not to mention Harry’s unflattering portrait of him in ‘Spare,’” the royal expert claimed to Fox News recently.Andersen went on to note what the Duke of Sussex, 38, had penned about William, reiterating that Harry portrayed him as his “arch-nemesis.”In the book, Harry also alleged that he was left bruised after William flung him to the floor following a fight they had two months before he and Markle, 41, left the royal family.The Duke of Cambridge reportedly called the former “Suits” actress “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive” at the time.Harry then fired back that he was only trying to combat the negative press the couple had endured.“Harry is still obviously upset that William was given a free ride because he is the heir – that William got away scot-free with doing many of the same things Harry was excoriated for,” Andersen claimed. “William is doing a marvelous job of compartmentalization.
Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy believes that Prince Harry is "suffering" following his royal exit. The Duke of Sussex, the younger son of King Charles III, and his wife Meghan Markle married in 2018 at Windsor Castle. Despite a fairy tale wedding that hinted at a happily ever after, the couple stepped down as working royals in 2020.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry weren't in attendance Saturday during King Charles III's Trooping the Cololur celebration.While the monarch was joined by other immediate members of the royal family for the occasion — which marks his official birthday celebration — the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were home in California. A source told ET that the couple «were not invited» to the festivities. On Saturday, the monarch celebrated his official birthday with the Trooping the Colour ceremony. For the occasion, which has been celebrated for 260 years, Charles rode horseback.
Meghan Markle’s former show "Suits" will be made available to watch on Saturday, which happens to be the same day as King Charles III’s birthday parade. Trooping the Colour, a royal tradition going back hundreds of years to King Charles II’s 17th-century reign, is held every summer to celebrate the monarch’s birthday. Markle and her husband Prince Harry might be in the position to stream her former show from their California home as they have reportedly not been invited to the royal tradition, despite quietly attending Queen Elizabeth II’s final Trooping the Colour last summer during her platinum jubilee celebrations. Buckingham Palace and Archewell, Harry and Markle's company, had no comment for People magazine, which first reported that the Sussexes weren't invited, and did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Late last month, Netflix announced that Markle’s show "Suits," which she starred in from 2011 to 2018, would drop on the streaming service on June 17.The show had previously been available on other streaming services like Peacock. The Duchess of Sussex was mainly known for her role as attorney Rachel Zane on the USA legal drama before she left acting ahead of her lavish 2018 royal wedding to Prince Harry at Windsor Castle. The couple participated in their first Trooping the Colour in 2018 following their wedding. While Markle’s character was written out of "Suits" after its seventh season because of her royal engagement, the drama lasted nine seasons, which will all be available to binge as counter programming to Charles’ royal pomp.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won't be hopping across the pond this weekend. As the royal family gears up to attend King Charles III's Trooping the Colour on Saturday, a source tells ET that the couple «were not invited» to the ceremony.Trooping the Colour, Charles' official birthday celebration, is expected to be an especially big to-do this year, since it's his first as sovereign. The ceremony, dating back more than 200 years, will feature 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians. The parade will start at Buckingham Palace and go down The Mall to Horse Guard's Parade.

Trooping the Colour.King Charles III will attend his first Trooping the Colour parade as sovereign on June 17 and it will mark his official birthday.However, the 74-year-old’s completion of another trip around the sun is actually on November 14.So why does the monarch observe two birthdays every year?The answer lies in something pretty unexpected: the weather.Trooping the Colour has been a tradition in the royal family since 1748.However, Edward VII — who reigned from 1901 to 1910 — was born in November, and he decided to move the bash to June because there was less likely to be rainy skies.And he didn’t want anything to ruin the joyful occasion. But the custom may wane if Prince William or his oldest son, Prince George, take the throne in the future.George, 9, celebrates his big day on July 22, while the Prince of Wales, 40, honors his birthday on this year’s summer solstice, June 21.During the Trooping the Colour, hundreds of soldiers and horses stomp the ground from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade.Members of the royal family ride alongside the military personnel on horseback and in carriages.The late Queen Elizabeth often participated in the parade, despite her birthday being in April.
