Expensive:Big celebration for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ahead of missing society wedding of the year

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had a busy few weeks following their trip to Nigeria and Prince Harry’s brief pitstop in London. And while royal watchers are eagerly awaiting for the Duke of Westminster’s big day in Chester on 7 June, we suspect Prince Harry and Meghan will remain at home.

Instead, the couple will be marking their daughter Princess Lilibet’s third birthday on 4 June, and they will no doubt pull out all the stops for the celebration.

The royal youngster lives in Montecito, California with her parents and older brother, Prince Archie, and we imagine the close-knit family are throwing a fun party for little Lilibet in their stunning mansion.

During their recent tour of Nigeria, the Duke and Duchess shared rare details about their two children. When they visited a local school, supported by their Archewell Foundation, Harry asked some students: “Is singing and dancing your favourite class?”

“That’s Lili’s favorite class,” Meghan said of their daughter. “Maybe it’s all the jumping around.”

She added of her little one: “And interestingly, so our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys. She’s about to turn three. And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes.

“And she said ‘Mama, I see me in you’. Oh, now she was talking really, literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”
