Meghan Markle’s friend brutally mocked Kate, Princess of Wales for missing Princess Lilibet’s third birthday.

Lilibet, who is thought to have only visited the UK once, is celebrating her third birthday today, June 4.

However, in celebration of her first birthday two years ago, a friend of Meghan’s previously said that it was “shady” of Kate to miss out on her niece’s special day.

Garcelle Beauvais, a star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, previously shared her thoughts on Kate’s absence from Lilibet’s birthday.

Speaking to E!, Ms Beauvais said: “What’s going on is, ‘What a coincidence, we’re out of town, I’m washing my hair’. There’s a little shade there.”

The criticism came after both William and Kate missed the celebrations, even though the pair were overseeing concert rehearsals at Cardiff Castle to mark the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at the time.

The actress, after being asked if they could have been powerless to work against the pre-ordained schedule, hit back: “No. They can’t hold back the flight a couple of hours to meet Lilibet and Archie?”

Lilibet is thought to have travelled to the UK a few days before her first birthday for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Harry and Meghan made the decision to bring along their two children – including now-five-year-old son Archie – to join in the celebrations.

Although Meghan and Harry were seen at a few celebrations to mark the late Queen’s historic anniversary, Archie and Lilibet didn’t make any public appearances

To mark their daughter’s birthday, Meghan and Harry are thought to have hosted a small gathering at their former UK base, Frogmore Cottage.

Kate and William’s three children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 – also didn’t appear at their cousin’s party. King Charles and Queen Camilla also did not attend Lilibet’s first birthday celebrations.

Following Lilibet’s birthday, a picture of the adorable tot was publicly released – one that was thought to have been taken at her party in the UK.
