The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly invited close friends and family to join in the festivities. Royal expert Jennie Bond shared her insights with OK! Magazine, expressing her expectations for the event.
Bond anticipated a laid-back gathering, possibly including some celebrity guests and other toddlers for Lilibet to play with.
Bond also speculated that it would be lovely if Lilibet could have a video call with her grandfather, King Charles III, on her special day. She expressed hope that a thoughtful gift had been arranged for Lilibet and would be delivered to their home in Montecito.
Regarding the gift from King Charles, sources revealed to New Idea that he had his aides exploring the idea of custom-made cubby houses, similar to those Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had when they were young girls. The intention behind this gift was to provide Lilibet with something practical and truly hers, creating a lasting memory. However, Harry advised his father to keep the extravagance in check.
Overall, the birthday celebration for Lilibet was anticipated to be a relaxed affair with close friends, family, and possibly a few celebrities, bringing joy to the young princess on her special day.
