The Lilibet Diana’s first birthday could be a good opportunity to reconnect the now brother-knives Harry And William and their respective spouses Meghan Markle And Kate Middleton. Things went differently, but the Sussexes at least get the credit for trying. This, at least, an insider told Page Six: «Harry and Meghan had invited William and Katewith children George, Charlotte and Louis, to Lilibet Diana’s birthday. But they snubbed them “. Reason: «William is still distrustful towards his brother “. And she “does not want to be alone with him for too long because she fears that everything they say in private ends up in the media”. An understandable concern, in the light ofshock interview to Oprah Winfrey in which the Sussexes washed the (royal) family’s dirty laundry in front of millions of viewers last year, accusing the Windsors even of racism. As if that weren’t enough, Prince Harry also in 2021, via podcast, has compared court life to “a cross between a zoo and a Truman show”.
William and Kate apparently have neither forgotten nor forgiven the public poisoning arrows launched by Harry and Meghan against the royal family. It was already understood at the thanksgiving mass in St. Paul, where the chill of the Cambridge towards the Sussex was palpable. Returned, at least in appearance. Now we discover that the Sussexes took advantage of their second child’s birthday to give the Cambridge a olive branch. Which they, however, refused. And so an excellent opportunity for rapprochement was lost, but not only: the little ones George, Charlotte And Louis they could not review Archiethe little cousin who had been missing from London for two years, nor know her cousin Lilibet Dianaborn in America.
On the other hand, at the party organized for the little one – an informal picnic on the lawn of Frogmore Cottage based on sweets, games and colored balloons – there were many other children of the royal family. Among which the three children of Zara and Mike Tindall – My8 years old, Lena3 and Lucas1 – and the daughters of Peter Phillips And Autumn Kelly, Savannah11, and Isla10. A sign that among the Windsors there is someone who has forgiven the Sussex attacks. For William and Kate, however, the time for forgiveness still seems far away.
