Little known things about Harry and Meghan’s daughter Lilibet, who just turned 3 years old

Princess Lilibet turned 3 years old on June 4. She was named after Queen Elizabeth II’s nickname and is often called Lili by her parents.

Over the weekend, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex held a cozy birthday party for their beloved daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor at their home in Montecito, California. The party was attended by family, close friends and a few of Lilibet’s little friends.

Before Lilibet was born in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan decided to step down as senior members of the British Royal Family and move to the US to live with their first son – Prince Archie (5 years old). An announcement from the Archewell Foundation said that Lilibet is named after Queen Elizabeth II’s pet name, while the middle name Diana is a tribute to her late grandmother – Princess Diana. Prince Harry and Meghan often call their daughter by the affectionate nickname “Lili”.

In March 2023, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex began using royal titles for their children, starting with the announcement of Lilibet’s christening. After King Charles III ascended the throne in September 2022, Archie and Lilibet were officially named prince and princess. The two babies’ new titles have been updated on the official website of the British Royal Family, and also appeared in the parents’ biographies on sussex.com – the official website of the couple Harry and Meghan were launched. in February. According to British Royal tradition, Harry and Meghan took “Sussex” as their children’s surname.

In June last year, Harry and Meghan’s family went to England to attend the Platinum Ceremony celebrating the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, on the occasion of Lilibet’s 1st birthday. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex held a small gathering at Frogmore Cottage – their residence in England until last year. Speaking about the birthday party, the spokesperson described it as an “intimate, casual barbecue”. On this occasion, the couple released the first portrait photo of Lilibet taken by photographer Misan Harriman – a family friend. The photo captured the moment Lilibet smiled brightly in a blue dress, her red hair tied with a white bow.

Fans continue to admire Lilibet’s lovely images in the documentary “Harry & Meghan” released on Netflix in December 2022. Since stepping down as senior members of the British Royal Family, Harry and Meghan have limited sharing photos of their children in public. Princess Lilibet first appeared in the family’s 2021 Christmas card with the words: “This year, 2021, we are delighted to welcome our daughter Lilibet into the world. Archie has made us ‘Mommy’ ‘ and ‘Dad’, and Lili has created a complete family.”

Over the years, Harry and Meghan have occasionally shared about their daughter with the public, from her “very calm” personality to her determination to “keep up” with her brother. On May 6, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex privately celebrated their son Archie’s 5th birthday before embarking on a tour of Nigeria. This is their first overseas trip since stepping down as senior members of the British Royal Family.

Even though Archie and Lilibet weren’t on the trip, the two babies were always on their parents’ minds. While visiting a school in Abuja, Meghan revealed that “singing and dancing” is Lilibet’s “favorite class”, perhaps because “she loves to dance”. The Duchess of Sussex also shared that Archie is very interested in construction work, shown through the brothers’ robotics projects in a STEM class.

At an event about female leaders on May 11, Meghan described her children as “very talkative and sweet kids.” On Mother’s Day, May 12, she expressed that she “misses her children very much”. In his memoir “Spare” published in January 2023, Prince Harry recounted the moment Lilibet was born: “I slid my hand under that small back and neck. Gently but firmly, like those I brought my precious daughter into this world, and held her for a moment, trying to smile and look at her, but honestly, I couldn’t see anything. I want to say: Hello child. I want to say: Where are you from? I want to say: Is it better? Are you afraid? It’s okay. Dad will protect you.”
