Princess Anne: why she did not react to the birth of Lilibet Diana, the daughter of Meghan and Harry
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced the birth of their second child, a daughter named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, or “Lili” born on Friday June 4th. Except that this news did not make everyone react, including Princess Anne.
Despite the arrival of a happy event, tensions are still present. Meghan Markle gave birth to her second child on Friday June 4, 2021 in a hospital in Santa Barbara, California. The good news was revealed in a statement: "It is with immense joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor to the world." Except that with recent conflicts within the British Crown, the announcement has not been greeted with fanfare by everyone across the Atlantic.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge congratulated the Sussexes on "the arrival of baby Lili". Prince Charles and Camilla also wrote a post on social media. Although the Queen is not making an official statement, a note was posted on Twitter The Royal Family speaking on behalf of the royals. Some reactions are still desired, such as that of Princess Anne. And for good reason, the latter does not have social networks to begin with. But it is not the only reason. The relationship has always been very complicated between the Sussexes and the Queen's daughter, who accuses them of having wanted to "reinvent the wheel." And we must not forget that she was allegedly accused of racist comments about Archie during Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in March. So hard to imagine sending a best wishes card!
Congratulations to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the birth of Lilibet Diana! The Queen, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted with the news.
