Prince Harry and his spouse, Meghan Markle, have confirmed that they are like all parents when the names of their children are mentioned.
For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, keep children out of the drama. This week, the media had a painful story involving Queen Elizabeth II and her great-granddaughter, Lilibet.
According to one of Queen Elizabeth’s former staff members, she suffered a great deal of heartbreak after she invited Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to join her at Windsor Castle to celebrate Lilibet’s first birthday.
In an interview with The Mirror, Queen Elizabeth’s famous footman, Paul Burrell, explained that she had a cake with one candle on top waiting for Lilibet and her parents.
Unfortunately, Prince Harry decided not to attend the gathering set up by the Queen, according to the well-known royal expert.
Instead, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a small birthday party at Frogmore Cottage with a few family members and close friends.
According to the former employee, the Queen sat and waited to see Lilibet, but her family never came.
He told the media outlet: “Even on Lilibet’s 1st birthday, the Queen didn’t see her. She saw her the day before. But on her birthday, the Queen had a birthday cake made with one candle in it. And they never turned up. That candle was never lit.”
Lilibet celebrated her first birthday as Queen Elizabeth enjoyed her Platinum Jubilee.
The ex-Buckingham Palace staffer claimed that the Queen also attempted to have Prince Harry, Markle, Lilibet, and Archie for tea, but was shocked to learn that they returned to America without saying goodbye.
He claimed: “The next day, she asked if maybe they’d like to come up for tea again and was told they’d gone. What do you mean they’ve gone? They’ve gone back to America.’ ‘Oh no, they never said goodbye.”
Burrell said Her Majesty was baffled by Prince Harry’s short trip and added: “How could you offend our Queen? Well, I don’t understand anyone who could do that. Not her family, why would you want to? She was devoid of jealousy, anger, and envy — all those traits that we associate with other people she didn’t have. She was just a very simple soul. I wish the world could have known her the way I knew her.”
Unhappy that they have the name of their daughter in a messy story, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were quick to deny it.
A source told Page Six there is “no truth to Burrell’s claims. They did see the Queen to celebrate Lilibet’s birthday.”
The Sussexes do not seem to tolerate untruths about their children.
