Lili's Royal Beginnings
Lilibet, full name Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. She is the younger sister of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, born in 2019.
Fun fact alert! Lilibet's name is a sweet tribute to both her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, whose family nickname is Lilibet, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana.
A Private Life in the Public Eye
Unlike her older brother Archie, Lili's birth was announced via a press release from Meghan and Harry's representatives. The couple has kept their family life largely private since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020.
Why the secrecy, you ask? Well, guys, Meghan and Harry have made it clear that they want to raise their children away from the intense scrutiny that comes with being a part of the royal family. They've even taken legal action against several media outlets for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.
Lili's Christening: A Star-Studded Affair
On July 3, 2022, Lilibet was christened in a private ceremony at the couple's home in Montecito, California. The event was attended by close friends and family, including Oprah Winfrey, who is godmother to Archie.
The christening was a star-studded affair, with A-listers like Serena Williams, Amanda Kloots, and Gayle King in attendance. Lili wore a beautiful replica of the royal christening gown, first worn by Queen Victoria's eldest daughter in 1841.
Lili's Growing Up Moments
While Meghan and Harry have kept Lili out of the spotlight, they've shared a few adorable glimpses of their little princess with the world.
In honor of Lili's first birthday, Meghan shared a sweet photo of the toddler on her Instagram, captioning it, "Happy 1st Birthday, my sweet girl! " The photo showed Lili sitting on a blanket, wearing a white sundress and a pair of little white socks.
Harry also shared a heartwarming tribute to Lili on his own social media, writing, "Happy 1st Birthday, Lilibet! Mom, Dad, and Archie are so happy and proud to celebrate you today. We love you! "
Lili and Archie: The Royal Siblings
Lili is not only a princess but also a big sister to three-year-old Archie. The siblings are said to be very close, with Archie often seen doting on his little sister.
In a recent interview, Meghan gushed about her children, saying, "Archie is just the best big brother. And Lili, she's just a little sweet pea. They're just so much fun." It's clear that the Sussex family is thriving in their new life across the pond.
