Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, has confirmed that his daughter, Sterling Skye Mahomes, will not be inviting her half-sister, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to her upcoming birthday party. In an interview with The Sun, Mahomes said that he and his wife, Brittany, have "cut ties" with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and that they do not want their daughter to be exposed to the "drama" that has surrounded the royal family in recent years.

Mahomes' comments come after Meghan and Harry announced that they would not be attending the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June. The couple cited "scheduling conflicts" as the reason for their absence, but many royal experts believe that the decision was made in order to avoid furthering the rift between them and the rest of the royal family.
Mahomes' decision to exclude Lilibet from his daughter's birthday party is likely to further strain relations between the two families. It remains to be seen whether Meghan and Harry will ever be able to reconcile with their estranged in-laws.
Here are some additional details about the situation:
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews have been married since 2020. They have one daughter together, Sterling Skye Mahomes, who was born in February 2021.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have two children together, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, who was born in May 2019, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, who was born in June 2021.
Meghan and Harry stepped back from their royal duties in January 2020 and moved to California. They have since signed multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify.
The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations will take place from June 2 to 5, 2022. The celebrations will mark the Queen's 70th year on the throne.
