Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter turns 3 today. She is said to have celebrated her first birthday in the UK, with the Prince and Princess of Wales not joining celebrations for their niece.

The royal world is no stranger to drama, and this time, it’s Meghan Markle’s close friend who’s stirring the pot. Garcelle Beauvais, star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” didn’t hold back when discussing Princess Kate’s absence from Princess Lilibet’s first birthday celebration.

The Shady Accusation

While the entire Sussex family gathered at Frogmore Cottage to mark the milestone, Kate Middleton and Prince William were noticeably absent. The occasion was doubly significant as it coincided with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. But according to Ms. Beauvais, there was more to the story.

In an exclusive interview with Royalty Insider, she called Kate’s absence “shady.” The reason? Kate and William were in Wales, representing the late Queen Elizabeth by overseeing concert rehearsals at Cardiff Castle. While this duty was undoubtedly important, Ms. Beauvais wondered aloud why they couldn’t adjust their schedule to meet Lilibet and her older brother, Archie.

The Ongoing Royal Feud

This incident adds fuel to the already simmering feud between the Firm (the traditionalist royal establishment) and the Sussexes. Ever since Meghan and Harry stepped back from their senior royal roles, tensions have run high. Every move, every choice is scrutinized, and even innocent scheduling conflicts become fodder for speculation.

What’s Next?

As the royal watchers hold their breath, we can’t help but wonder: Is there more to this story? Was Kate truly unable to attend, or was there a deeper rift at play? Only time will reveal the truth behind the “shady” accusation.
