Princess Lilibet Fifth Birthday Celebration Scheduled For June 4 at Montecito Estate, Confirms Royal Source
MONCECITO, CA — A private birthday party for Princess Lilibet of Sussex, who turns five years old on June 4, 2025, is set to take place at the family residence in Montecito, California, according to a confirmed statement from a royal aide. The event, organized by her parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, will include close family and a small group of invited children. The aide stated that the celebration is intended to be a low-key affair focused on outdoor activities and a themed cake. This marks Princess Lilibet's first birthday since the release of her father's memoir, "Spare," which detailed aspects of royal family dynamics. No details regarding any messages from the British royal family, including King Charles III or Prince William, have been officially disclosed. The absence of such communication, if confirmed, could further underscore the ongoing estrangement between the Sussexes and the senior royals. A full security detail, including private guards, is expected to be deployed around the estate throughout the afternoon. Observers note that this birthday comes amid a period of limited public appearances by Princess Lilibet and her brother, Prince Archie, as the couple continues to emphasize their children's right to a private childhood.
