Yes it's his birthday but you wouldn't know it. Not one mention jn the media about it and yet we were subjected to plenty of charlotte and her recent birthday. Funny that.

It’s 13 minutes past 7

DonLewis · 06/05/2021 07:15

Isn't it because there private people now? No social media to post photos to for the media to pick up?

Maybe it is the way they want it?

Fideleauxorigines · 06/05/2021 07:16

Well I hope he has a happy birthday like any one year old but Isn't that because they withdrew from their official roles as representatives of the RF though?

Nishky · 06/05/2021 07:16

And it’s on the official royal family Twitter account..

Nice try though @lollipoprainbow

Sorry if he's two? I don't really follow all the ins and outs.

The press release will be timed for the US waking up

enjoysun · 06/05/2021 07:29

Lol. It's still Wednesday night in California. The wee man will be in his bed! Give them time.

StealthPolarBear · 06/05/2021 07:34

He can't only be one surely. This must be his second birthday.

6Helen7 · 06/05/2021 07:35

They haven't woken up yet. It'll be timed for US release, not for UK.

OverByYer · 06/05/2021 07:35

Maybe because W&K released an official photo? Maybe H&M will do the same later?

EdithWeston · 06/05/2021 07:35

It's still Wednesday 5th in California (11:30pm)

I expect that, if his parents choose to release a photo, it will be in about 9 hours, and there will be plenty of comment then.

But there may not be. Birthday photos are a Royal family traditions and it is one which they may or may not wish to follow

Snugglepiggy · 06/05/2021 07:41

I've seen plenty of references to the fact that Archie is turning 2.Especially with the timing of Meghans book announcement.Why should we expect front page photos of him in our papers now ?Unless they have released photos of him to our media - which they hate -as Kate does with her very personal ones of their children there is nothing new to see.
I have no doubt something will appear from them.

JingsMahBucket · 06/05/2021 07:45

Happy birthday to Archie nonetheless :)

PenguinBarnotBird · 06/05/2021 07:48

Calm down it’s not even morning time over there yet.... guaranteed there’ll be a press release and photo drop

toolazytothinkofausername · 06/05/2021 07:53

Honestly I don't care. I am not friends or family with them, so who cares?!? I'm sure he will still have a happy birthday, without me caring about it.

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 06/05/2021 10:46

The Royal Family posted social media photos before 8am. Happy now?

You weren't 'subjected' to Charlotte anyway - you're not obliged to follow the RF.

Anyway I imagine because they quit the RF they won't want a fuss, being two self confessed attention-haters so maybe they won't put anything out at all yeah right

Roussette · 06/05/2021 12:50

Has Archie been blamed for having a birthday today whilst one of the Royals does a zoom call or something?

Oh hang on... W&K announced their youtube channel yesterday..... naughty Archie having a birthday the day after that!

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 06/05/2021 12:51

@Roussette who is blaming Archie for anything?! Confused

And yesterday is not today. The RF have something new on social media every single day

Roussette · 06/05/2021 12:59

No one.
Yet.

It usually happens though. But if they do put out a photo today let's hope the RF arent doing anything today.

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 06/05/2021 13:40

Why can't the RF do anything today because it's Archie's birthday?
They've already wished him a happy 2nd birthday.

Ridiculous to assume something as random as Archie will be blamed for having his own birthday Hmm

Glitterblue · 06/05/2021 13:51

I've seen plenty in the media about his birthday - but they wanted to go to America to get away from all the attention and live normal lives so they maybe don't want too much attention. W & K have always released a photo for each of their children's birthdays.

Roussette · 06/05/2021 13:53

It was tongue in cheek that you obviously didn't get.

lollipoprainbow · 06/05/2021 14:05

@FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop I wasn't talking about the royal family I was talking about the newspapers. Take a chill pill Hmm
