According to People magazine, young Betty celebrated her birthday this past weekend, even though her actual birthday falls on the 4th.
The family held a party at their home in Montedo, California, attended by close friends and family, as well as some of Lily's friends. However, the article offered little new information—no details about the cake, decorations, or specific guests. Speculation about the guests included Marcus Anderson and Doria Ragland, making it sound like an unusual mix for a children’s party.
Dave shared a photo from one of Archie's past birthday parties, showing Archie in a high chair with Harry, Meghan, and Doria nearby, but no other guests visible. Similarly, a photo from one of Lily's previous birthdays featured a table set up outside with just Harry, Meghan, and Archie, whose back was to the camera, again without other guests. This has led some to suggest that the children have minimal interaction with others outside their immediate family.
It's common to celebrate a child's birthday on the weekend if it falls on a weekday, but there seems to be a pattern of scheduling conflicts for the Montedo children. For instance, Lily's first birthday coincided with the Queen's Jubilee, yet the Frogmore Birthday Bash wasn't rescheduled. Archie's fourth birthday overlapped with a coronation, preventing him from attending the UK events, and Harry rushed home immediately afterward, missing all the family celebrations. Harry was also absent for Archie's third birthday due to a polo match, though he made it a point to attend Lily's second birthday, even on the first day of a court case.
The inconsistency in prioritizing birthdays raises questions. This year, Lily's third birthday was conveniently held on a friendly date, while significant events like the Jubilee and coronation were deemed immovable. Magazines often print whatever gossip celebrities provide, but that doesn't mean the events happened as described. The couple has hired a global communications director to manage their media interactions, yet despite claims of valuing privacy, they announced Lily's birthday celebration through People magazine.
Genuine celebrities who truly value their children's privacy, like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds or George and Amal Clooney, do not broadcast birthday parties. They avoid media exposure to protect their families. In contrast, the lack of photos and friends at these birthday parties, combined with media announcements, leads to skepticism. Critics argue that without tangible evidence, these events could be fabricated. The notion that Harry and Meghan are manufacturing stories about their children for publicity is a point of contention, suggesting their claims of privacy are inconsistent with their actions.
