Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor entered the world on June 4, 2021, becoming the cherished younger sister of Prince Archie.
Born in California, Princess Lilibet, who has appeared to visit the UK just once, enjoys a markedly different upbringing than her brother Archie, whose early days were spent in the UK.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen to keep their two children mainly away from the public eye, but they occasionally offer glimpses into their family life, creating a sense of shared intimacy with their fans.
In 2022, Meghan and Harry delighted their followers by featuring endearing clips and photos of their beloved daughter in their Netflix documentary series.
To commemorate Lilibet’s first year, they also shared an official portrait of her in 2022.
Princess Lilibet’s Third Birthday
The touching announcement of Lilibet’s birth was made public by Meghan and Harry two days after her arrival, expressing their immense gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers.
Her full name, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, poignantly pays tribute to her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and her late grandmother Princess Diana.
Meghan and Harry’s documentary series in 2022 allowed fans a glimpse into Lilibet’s early life, capturing poignant moments like her nestled in her mother’s arms as a newborn.
The couple, known for their discretion, surprised the world with their Christmas card in December 2021, which included the first official portrait of their family-of-four.
Within the same documentary series, Meghan and Harry captured cherished moments of Lilibet’s first steps towards independence.
Her father, Harry, joyfully shared her progress, highlighting how she seeks to keep pace with her brother, Archie. He fondly referred to Lilibet as ‘Lili,’ epitomizing the family’s affectionate bond.
Celebrating her first birthday in the UK during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Princess Lilibet participated in the family milestone.
Following a low-key celebration at Frogmore Cottage, a heartwarming image of Lilibet, exhibiting her father’s red locks and her enchanting blue eyes, was shared with the public.
Through their documentary, Harry and Meghan shared personal insights, revealing Lili’s affectionate connection with the Spencers and the striking resemblance she holds to her late grandmother, Princess Diana.
