The children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may reside far from their parents, but they are still very much a part of the British royal family.
Archie, age three, and Lilibet, age one, live in Montecito, California, with their parents and have only made a few trips to the UK.
But now it has been revealed that the monarchy and the two kids share a remarkable coincidence.
This week, it was made public that Archie’s grandfather, King Charles, will be crowned on May 6, which also happens to be the young boy’s fourth birthday.
Although it is unknown at this time, it seems unlikely that his son Prince Harry and his family will attend the event.
According to royal historian Marlene Koenig, HELLO! “Young enough to miss the coronation is Archie. Charles, however, was five years old. Archie, however, is neither the heir apparent nor even remotely related to the throne.”
The coincidence involving the Sussex kids is not the only one. Lilibet turned one in June of this year, which just so happened to coincide with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
It indicated that Lili and her family were in the country to commemorate this historic occasion for the monarch, and it is widely believed that this was the first time the Queen had met her namesake.
“Lili” Lilibet Born in California, Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was given the name Diana Mountbatten-Windsor in honor of the Queen, whose family nickname has been “Lilibet” since she was a young girl. Diana was chosen as the infant’s middle name in honor of her grandmother.
The forthcoming coronation of King Charles was scheduled after consultation with the authorities, the Church of England, and the Royal Household, according to Buckingham Palace.
The ceremony will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and held at Westminster Abbey. His Majesty and the Queen Consort will both be crowned.
The coronation “will reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in long-standing traditions and pageantry,” the Palace further affirmed.
