Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ringing in a special milestone today (June 4) as their darling princess turns three.

Born in sun-kissed California in June 2021, Princess Lilibet got her namesake from the late Queen Elizabeth II, hailing her roots while adding a sweet nod to Harry’s beloved mum with Diana as her middle name.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex threw a birthday bash for their little one at their swank Montecito abode, Santa Barbara, just last weekend. It was reportedly an intimate gathering, attended by their friends and relatives based stateside. The Royal Family, however, were not in attendance.

Eager followers will undoubtedly want to get an insight into the birthday party, anticipating Meghan and Harry to roll out some photos. An earlier sneak peek into their home life and Lilibet’s first birthday via their Netflix docuseries saw fans spot a striking resemblance between the baby girl and a particular Royal Family member.

Secluded celebrations took place at Frogmore Cottage where photographer Misan Harriman earned himself a coveted spot on the select guest list. Snaps from the heartwarming celebration showed the birthday girl looking oh-so-adorable in a chic bow-adorned hairstyle and her special day dress.

This morning (June 4) has seen a flurry of social media activity with thousands pouring in their well-wishes for the young princess. One fervent Royal fan mentioned in a tweet about the noticeable similarity in looks between the cherubic Princess Lilli and her late grandmother.

They penned: “Happy Birthday Princess Lilli. You look so much like your grandmother, Princess Diana.” People on X seemed to agree with the sentiment, with one saying: “I am convinced Lilibet will grow up to look just like Diana.”

Another chimed in: “Lilibet looks 100% like her grandma (Princess Diana).” Another added: “Archie looks like Meghan and Lilibet looks like Diana’s family.”

One other wrote: “The only granddaughter that resembles the late Princess Diana is Princess Lilibet of Sussex. Princess Lilibet inherited her grandmother blue eyes, face shape and smile.”

During a visit to the Lightway Academy in Abuja, Meghan Markle gave an intimate portrayal of her daughter Lilibet’s personality, ahead of her third birthday. Engaging in a discussion about mental health, the Duchess of Sussex said: “Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys. She’s about to turn three.

“Just a few weeks ago, she looked at me and saw her reflection in my eyes. She said ‘Mama, I see me in you’. Though she meant it quite literally, I took those words in a far different vein. And though I do see me and you in her words, as I look around this room, I also see myself reflected in all of you.”
