King Charles will be crowned on May 6th, the fourth birthday of his grandson Prince Archie. April, May and June are full of royal birthdays – Prince Louis’s birthday is coming up on Sunday, Princess Lilibet’s birthday is in June, and Princess Charlotte’s eighth birthday is on May 2nd, just days before the coronation. Apparently, Prince William and Kate are already making plans to skip part of the pre-Chubbly festivities to properly celebrate Charlotte’s birthday. Of course, their choices are being promoted as wholesome and family-oriented by the same British media which has spent the past week in a full meltdown that the Duchess of Sussex is choosing to stay in California to celebrate Archie’s birthday.

King Charles III’s coronation is fast approaching and it’s all stations go over at Buckingham Palace. From the guest-list being drawn up to the dress code being sent out and the royal roles being divvied up, there’s so much to prep ahead of the big day. But, it turns out that said big day has clashed with another important event in Prince William and Kate Middleton’s diary: Princess Charlotte’s birthday on 2 May.

Although the coronation itself falls on 6 May 2023, rehearsals for the event are taking place between 2 May and 5 May in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace, with the Prince and Princess of Wales expected to attend, given their important roles. But one insider has told OK! that the couple plan to ‘cut short’ their rehearsals so that they can spend time with their daughter on her birthday.

“William and Kate are very aware that it’s Princess Charlotte’s birthday on 2 May and don’t want it to get buried in coronation hype,” the source claimed. “They have ensured that Charlotte’s birthday will be celebrated properly during [the] coronation week.”

The insider went on: “Charlotte will be at school at Lambrook on that Tuesday so the plan is to collect her at the usual time and drive back to Windsor for a small party with her friends at Adelaide Cottage. It might even be a surprise party because staff have been told to keep it quiet.”

And Charlotte isn’t the only royal whose birthday falls around the coronation celebrations, with the insider making it known that Charles’ other grandchildren will not miss out. “Prince Louis has his birthday on 23 April, but it doesn’t conflict with any coronation events so will be celebrated as usual. He’ll be turning 5 this year,” the source said.

“They have ensured that Charlotte’s birthday will be celebrated properly during [the] coronation week.” Qwhite. This just angers me all over again, and I’ve grown convinced that Charles and his staff purposefully chose Archie’s birthday for the coronation. Charles is literally beefing with a child over who gets more attention, and Charles is simultaneously acting spiteful towards the entire Sussex family, acting as if it’s some egregious act that Meghan and Harry would have qualms about missing their only son’s birthday. Anyway, I hope we get endless columns about how rude and pathetic Kate and William are for skipping out on Chubbly rehearsals to celebrate Charlotte’s b-day.
