Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, second child of Prince Harry and of Meghan Markle, finally has a face. And it’s beautiful. Mom and dad shared the first photo in which the little girl is clearly seen. She posted it on her Instagram account Misan Harriman, photographer and great friend of the couple, who made it last June 4th at Frogmore Cottage, during the first birthday party of the little one.
Red hair like dad Harry, clear-eyed, Lilibet, whom everyone in the family affectionately calls Lili, was photographed on the lawn of the British Sussex residence, where Harry and Meghan organized “an informal and intimate picnic with friends and family,” the Sussex spokesperson said . Among them, Harriman, who attended with his wife and two daughters, as evidenced by a second group photo and the caption accompanying them both: “It was such a privilege to celebrate Lilibet’s first birthday with my family and she! Joy and face painting all around ».
Lili’s photo has arrived two days after the birthday, And it is not a case. In the long weekend of celebrations for the Jubilee, nothing could divert attention from Elizabeth II: the publication of the first photo of the child would have had a great impact and would have been interpreted as yet another lack of respect for the monarchy. It is true that she had already seen herself in a shot released by the couple, but a few months later, and not clearly.
During their stay in the UK, however, Harry and Meghan kept a low profile. Arrived with their children in great secrecy, they left before the end of the celebrations. The real reason for the trip, after all, was to satisfy a great desire of the queen, who wanted to meet Lilibet and see her older brother Archie, 3 years old. The meeting in Windsor made The Queen very happy. The icing on the cake of an unforgettable Jubilee.
