The couple were believed to have attended with their daughter Daisy Bloom, who is the same age and friends with Lilibet, according to royal author Tom Quinn.
“Rather than go for a low-key celebration Harry and Meghan have spent the past weekend enjoying a pre-birthday bash for their daughter Lilibet’s third birthday.
“Hugely expensive presents have been ruled out but the couple’s mansion in California was awash with celebrities including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy who is just a few months older than Lilibet,” he told The Mirror.
Bloom and Perry are also believed to live in Montecito, California.
Harry has previously spoken about his friendship with Pirates of the Caribbean star Bloom and how the pair have bonded over their disdain for the paparazzi.
“Orlando Bloom sent me a message because he’s down the road and we sort of keep in contact because of the paparazzi,” Harry told Dax Shepard on the podcast Armchair Expert.
“He sent me a photograph, which his security got of this long-haired guy … with his massive camera lying in the back of his 4×4 truck.”
“How is that normal?”
Lilibet’s birthday passed with barely a trace of acknowledgement online — not even from her famous parents.
The royal family marked older brother Archie’s birthday on May 6, but there was silence over Lilibet.
Royal correspondent Danielle Stacey believes the public acknowledgement of non-working members of the royal family has been curtailed since King Charles III took to the throne.
“In recent years and certainly since King Charles III’s reign began in September 2022, we have only seen public messages from the royal family’s social media accounts for working members of the royal family,” she told HELLO!
“Such as the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal.”
The last time an official portrait of Lilibet was released was on the occasion of her first birthday.
In the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, viewers only saw fleeting glimpses of the Sussex children.
“We’ve been really conscious of protecting our kids as best as we can,” Harry said in one segment of the documentary series.
Meghan added that it was important they protect their children “as best we can … also understanding the role that they play in this really historical family.”
