While Princess Lilibet celebrated her third birthday last weekend with pals like Daisy Dove (that’s Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s daughter, in case you need a refresher), it appears that her grandfather, King Charles sent along well-wishes and a gift, even though the royal family didn’t post anything to commemorate Lilibet’s big day.
That detail shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the royals haven’t publicly posted birthday messages for non-working royals, but Charles’s keeping a special present for a moment that may never happen is a little more unexpected.“King Charles had no intention of completely ignoring Lilibet’s birthday, so he has sent a gift, along with a message,” Tom Quinn, royal expert and author of Gilded Youth: A History of Growing Up In the Royal Family: From the Plantagenets to the Cambridges, told The Mirror.
