Prince Harry and Megan Markle celebrated daughter Lilibet’s birthday earlier this week with a private party.

The youngster was born on June 4, 2021, California, US, and named after her late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. Her parents also honoured Harry’s late mother by giving her the middle name, Diana.

While this years’ celebrations were a low-key affair, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave fans an insight into their private life after they shared a clip of one of their daughter’s previous birthdays. The clip was taken during festivities at Frogmore Cottage and share in their Netflix docuseries and fans couldn’t help notice how much Lilibet looks like one Royal Family member.

On X, one royal fan said they noticed from her pictures how much she looks like her late grandmother. They said: “Happy Birthday Princess Lilli. You look so much like your grandmother, Princess Diana.”

Others on X agreed, as one added: “I am convinced Lilibet will grow up to look just like Diana.” Another commented: “Lilibet looks 100% like her grandma (Princess Diana).”

“Archie looks like Meghan and Lilibet looks like Diana’s family,” another added. One other said: “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.”

Megan provided a sweet insight into Lilibet’s personality during a visit to the Lightway Academy in Abuja, ahead of the little one’s birthday. Taking part in a conversation 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.

“And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she said ‘Mama, I see me in you’. Oh, now she was talking really, literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”
