Princess Lilibet, the youngest child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, turns four today, according to one royal expert, who says it is a painful reminder for King Charles as the Sussexes continue to be at odds with the royals.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have cause for celebration as their youngest child Princess Lilibet turns four. The youngest of King Charles’ grandchildren will be celebrating the special day in California today alongside her parents as well as big brother Prince Archie, who turned six last month.

The children are said to be at the centre of the Sussexes’ world with an insider describing their Montecito home as a ‘happy bubble’. And with Meghan showing off her hosting skills in her recent Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, a carefully planned party is no doubt on the cards for her daughter.

However, Lilibet’s grandfather, the King, will miss out on any celebration. Harry dropped a bombshell last month when he revealed that his father no longer communicates with him after winning a court case involving his security arrangements while he was a UK resident.

The emotional encounter occurred three years ago when Harry and Meghan brought their children to the UK for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations because Lilibet is only known to have met her grandfather once.

And former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes the fact that the King will probably not see Lilibet for her birthday is “incredibly sad”. She told the Mirror : “Her birthday is mid-week, so I assume it will be a school day for Lilibet, but I’m sure there’ll be time for a tea party or celebration of some kind.

Meghan puts a lot of effort and care into making the day extremely magical for her little girl, and I believe kids’ birthdays are always fun.

“I’m confident that everything will be perfect. I’ve just celebrated Charles’ fourth birthday by celebrating all the joy, laughter, love, and fun that go along with it. These are events and years that are unrelived, and they are forever gone afterward. It’s very depressing.

Meanwhile, Lilibet’s birthday comes as she features more and more on mum Meghan’s Instagram account. Both Harry and Meghan have carefully guarded their children’s privacy – and even shots shown on social media are curated to make sure they don’t show either Archie or Lilibet’s full faces.

Jennie continued, “I suppose Meghan is promoting the children on Instagram because she is aware that the general public wants to see their pictures.” However, she is being very coy about giving us a glimpse of what they actually look like.

You could argue that there is a fine line between using them to promote her Instagram account and her desire to keep their family life private, but that’s fair enough if she wants to keep their privacy.

She and Harry will obviously have a little more time to pursue their various interests because both of their children are currently students. I believe both of them will continue to put their families first, just like William and Catherine, but Meghan seems to be expanding her projects. And if you have the opportunity to do so, there is no harm in doing that.

Lilibet, the King’s youngest grandchild, was born on June 4, 2021, in California. She was named Lilibet Diana, paying tribute to her great-grandmother, the late Queen, and her grandmother, Princess Diana. She is seventh in line to the throne and unlike her older brother Archie has never lived in the UK – only visiting once.

The Karen Millen co-ord from the Britain’s Got Talent judge is ideal for summer and is currently available for 20% off.

Buttermilk yellow has been the reigning shade of the spring season, but Amanda Holden has just debuted an eye-catching outfit in a hue that could take its crown as the weather warms up. The Heart FM radio presenter turned up to the office on Tuesday wearing a mango coloured co-ord from a popular high street brand – and it’s currently on sale.

The 54-year-old declared ‘the future is orange’ as she heaped praise on her Karen Millen set. She wore the retailer’s Premium Linen Wide Leg Tailored Trouser and matching Premium Linen Structured Pleated Tailored Bandeau Top for a showstopping ensemble, both of which are now 20% off.

Amanda adored the “delectably soft” set after sharing it with her 2.5 million Instagram followers. It’s the ideal choice for the warmer weather because it’s made of 11% cotton and 13% linen.

Originally £139 but down to £111.20, the tailored trousers boast a high-waisted design that creates a lengthening effect, while the wide leg offers a dramatic silhouette. While bold, they’re surprisingly versatile, with Karen Millen recommending them as an option for summer weddings or race day events.

Meanwhile, the top creates a sculpted look that ‘flatters the figure’. The strapless design makes it particularly suitable for summer and garden parties with the neckline being perfect for showcasing necklaces.

Amanda added: “It’s a lovely asymmetric boob tube affair thing which is super flattering you just might have to adjust the creases to make it all fit nicely.” However, it’s worth noting that it’s quite low in stock in certain sizes, but it is also available at Debenhams.

Further cementing mango as a shade to invest in, PrettyLittleThing has a range of options on their website, with some more purse-friendly price points, too. Meanwhile, Nobody’s Child has also tapped into the trend, with their Orange Broderie Anglaise Starlight Midi Dress being a great alternative at £110.

One thing that really impressed Amanda about the Karen Millen co-ord, though, was the crease resistant fabric that requires little ironing. She commented: “I thought oh, if I’m going to sit down all day it’s going to crease up and look awful by the time I leave but look it’s absolutely fine.”

One thing I always love about co-ords is how you can wear them at least three ways. The top would look gorgeous with a pair of light blue denim jeans with a pair of heels for cocktails or brunch, while the trousers lend themselves to a plain white t-shirt and trainers for a more casual look, meaning shoppers can get more wear out of them, be it on holiday or at the office.

All of Dave Mason’s UK shows have been canceled. The musician, who was one of the founding members of the 1960s rock band Traffic, stated in June that he was still battling a condition he had initially contracted in March.

He had previously delayed his tour until 2024 because he had a serious heart condition that only became apparent when he went for a routine medical checkup. After changing his concerts, Dave was scheduled to return to the stage this summer.

The former Fleetwood Mac member who left the group in 1995 has since confirmed on social media that all of his upcoming tour dates have been canceled due to ill health.

Due to ongoing health issues brought on by the infection I contracted in March, I regret to cancel all tour dates for 2025. My doctors and I are incredibly appreciative because this has been difficult territory to say the least.

“A heartfelt thank you to all the fans who have patiently and faithfully waited on me throughout this journey, as well as to my family, band, agents, and venues. More than words can express how much I’ve been uplifted by your kind words. Recovery takes a long time. I have a deep love for you all.

Fans eluded the comment section, where one wrote, “You take care Dave! ” I wish you the best of health possible. “So sad, but may God bless you and your family,” one person said. A third letter was written, “We hope you feel better soon, we love you.”

A fourth phrase followed that recovery takes time. But here’s to seeing you exit the other side, ready to go, and “feeling alright!” You have this, Dave, and God bless you, I love you.

Another continued, “I’m so sorry to hear this. We are all wishing for a full recovery. Please take good care of yourself, and all of your fans are anticipating seeing you back in the future.

He was scheduled to play in Texas, New York, and Oklahoma throughout the summer and throughout the summer. Dave was admitted to the hospital as a result of his declining health, according to a statement from his team on March 14.

“Hello, Dave Mason fans, I’m sorry. We’re happy to let you know that Dave has been taken into care because of a quick-developing, serious infection. Your entire support and prayers during this difficult time are greatly appreciated by the Dave Mason family, the band, and the crew.

Tickets will be refunded at the time of purchase for all March, April, and May shows. We all aspire to a quick recovery. Just one month prior to the discovery of his heart condition, “Dave last performed on stage in September of 2024.”
