After the birthdays of Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte, it is not up to George to blow out a new candle on his cake (he will wait until July 22 to do so) but rather up to his cousin Archie, based overseas. Atlantic in the mildness of California. The little boy turns five at the start of the week. An event that his parents Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not fail to celebrate before their departure to Nigeria, preceded for Prince Harry by a small detour to London on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
But out of sight, out of mind, very little for King Charles III. Out of the question for the sovereign to let thousands of kilometers erase him from the lives of his grandchildren. Even more so on days that put them in the spotlight. So, for this new blown candle, and as he does for each of his grandchildren, Camilla’s husband, recently seen in great shape and especially in full laughter, wanted to give Archie a gift.
And suffice to say that Charles III did not skimp on means. As The Mirror reported, it is a shepherd’s hut for more than €20,000 that he wanted to offer her. “Not a plastic children’s house, but a super handmade shepherd’s hut” specifies biographer Tom Quinn. “Charles hates the idea that Harry might think he is favoring one of his grandchildren, as he had given one to Prince George.“
Charles III prevented by Meghan Markle?
Except that, according to rumors, this gift would not have been viewed very favorably by Meghan Markle: “Harry and Meghan disagree: Duchess wants gifts to be purely American since Archie is already constantly asking questions about his family in the UK” continues the biographer. Charles III would therefore only be authorized to make a video call to convey his best wishes to his grandson.
This fact is apparently just the result of a rumor. Contrary to what has been reported, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not at all put a spoke in the king’s wheels to prevent him from giving Archie a gift. It is through one of their relatives, always at The Mirrorthat the rumor was denied. Shepherd’s house or not, we have no doubt that little Archie will be properly spoiled for this new birthday.
