Royal Event Takes Precedence Over Meghan Markle’s Son’s Birthday Celebration
The local community, along with peers of young Archie, have chosen to prioritize attendance at a royal event over Meghan Markle's son's birthday invitation.
Reports indicate that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were not even extended an invitation to the family events surrounding the coronation of King Charles.
Speculation had been rife for weeks regarding whether the Sussexes would opt to decline an invitation to the grand occasion.
Ultimately, Prince Harry made the decision to join the royal family and approximately 2,000 other guests at Westminster Abbey on May 6th.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle faced criticism for allegedly using Archie's birthday as a convenient excuse to skip the coronation festivities.
Royal editor Russell Myers from the Daily Mirror highlighted the mounting speculation surrounding the couple's attendance, stating, “It was one of the longest-running sagas, but we finally got a decision.”
Sources revealed that Archie's birthday celebration was notably quiet, as many famous neighbors and their children opted to attend the King's coronation instead of the young prince's party.
American singer Katy Perry is set to headline the coronation concert at Windsor Castle, graced by the presence of the new king and queen.
The star-studded event will also feature performances by renowned artists such as Andrea Bocelli and Sir Bryn Terfel, with the BBC airing the concert live.
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan's close friend Serena Williams expressed regret over her inability to attend Archie's birthday due to work commitments.
As the world gears up for the Mutual Madrid Open in 2023, elite tennis players are set to compete on the clay courts.
Unfortunately, this scheduling conflict means that Serena and her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian, will be unable to join the birthday celebrations.
Contrary to expectations, reports emerged that Archie and Princess Lilibet were excluded from the royal family event at King Charles's coronation.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children did not receive invitations, with supporters of Charles emphasizing the need to avoid potential family drama overshadowing the solemn occasion.
Amidst revelations from Prince Harry's upcoming book, including controversial claims about Queen Camilla and Prince William, the royal family refrained from commenting on the matter.
Despite previous tensions and the Sussexes being relocated from Frogmore, Buckingham Palace formally extended invitations to the non-working royals for the coronation event.
Meghan Markle's decision to forgo the coronation coincides with Prince Archie celebrating his fourth birthday at home.
As Prince Harry navigates potential negative press surrounding his wife, the royal family remains focused on the significant events unfolding within the monarchy.
