Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is officially 1 year old and in celebration of her big day, her parents are releasing one of the first-ever public pictures of her!
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have kept their children’s lives as private as possible over the last couple of years, the couple has graced the world with an adorably candid photo of their daughter for the first time.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Release First Picture of Lilibet in Honor of Her First Birthday
In the photo, it is clear she and her older brother, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, have at least one thing in common, they inherited their father’s red hair. In her gorgeous red locks, Lilibet is rocking a white bow on the side of her head and is seen sitting down in an adorable blue dress.
Lilibet celebrated her first birthday on June 4 in Europe. Lilibet, her brother, and her parents were in England to help celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. She is named after her great-grandmother, whose nickname Lilibet was given to her by her beloved late husband, Prince Philip.
According to Today, Harry and Meghan celebrated Lilibet’s first birthday at Frogmore Cottage with a small birthday party. This first-ever public photo was taken there.

The photos were captured by Harry and Meghan’s friend Misan Harriman. Harriman shared this image and a few others on Twitter.
“It was such a privilege to celebrate the 1st birthday of Lilibet with my family and hers! Joy and face painting all around,” Harriman wrote.
Harriman also shared a photo of Meghan holding her little girl alongside her and her two children as well. Meghan looked happy with a fresh face while wearing a long sleeve shirt and slacks.
Archie, unfortunately, wasn’t seen in any of the photos. It’s unclear who was in attendance at the party. However, many of the royal family members, including the Queen, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, and Camilla, all publicly wished Lilibet a very happy birthday on social media.
According to the spokesperson for Harry and Meghan, the proud parents were thrilled to learn that “people around the world made donations amounting to over $100,000 to the World Central Kitchen (WCK) in her honor.” It is believed that Harry, Meghan, and their children are now back in California, where they currently reside after stepping down as senior members of the Royal family a few years ago.
Harry and Meghan have not issued any further personal statements regarding the Queen’s Jubilee or their daughter’s birthday celebration.
