Garcelle Beauvais, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and a friend of Meghan Markle, criticized the Princess of Wales in a conversation with E! News for missing the event two years ago.
"What's going on is, 'What a coincidence, we're out of town, I'm washing my hair.' There's a little shade there,” Beauvais remarked, according to the Daily Mail.
For context, Harry and Meghan celebrated Lilibet's first birthday on June 4, 2022, at Frogmore Cottage, just days before the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. This occasion marked the first time Lilibet met her great-grandmother.
Prince William and Kate were overseeing concert rehearsals at Cardiff Castle during the celebration and missed the event. Beauvais challenged the necessity of their absence, suggesting that the royal couple could have adjusted their schedule to meet Lilibet and Archie. "No. They can't hold back the flight a couple of hours to meet Lilibet and Archie?" she argued.
