Lilibet Diana, the living image of her great-grandmother? Meghan and Harry’s daughter creates sensation

Lilibet Diana He is only a year old, but the British public is already clear about who he looks like. Some of the media and the press are pointing out the enormous resemblance she bears to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, when she was little. They rely on her features and expression to conclude that she is the spitting image of the ninety-year-old monarch. A comparison that has arisen in the wake of the latest photo of the little girl that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed through Misan Harriman, a close friend of the marriage.

The photo was taken last Saturday, June 4, in the gardens of Frogmore Cottage, the residence where the Sussexes stayed over the weekend on their trip to London to celebrate the monarch’s platinum anniversary. A stay in which there was also time to celebrate Lilibet Diana’s first birthday in a spontaneous way. Harry and Meghan’s daughter was finally able to meet the British royal family and the rest of the couple’s friends in England.

The birthday party was attended by famous faces such as Zara and Mike Tindall’s children, as well as Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly. There’s no shortage of balloons, board games, snacks and the sweet taste of a cake by American confectioner Claire Ptak, author of the wedding cake for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018. Those not in attendance were the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate. Middleton and Guillermo, nor their three children. It has not been revealed whether they were invited or not, but the truth is that Harry’s relationship with his brother is not at its best, as was revealed during the thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Misan Harriman’s publication has several photos, on which also appears a smiling Meghan Marklea: “It was a privilege to celebrate Lilibet’s first birthday with my family and hers! Joy and face painting everywhere,” reads the message accompanying the photos.

There has also been a rather controversial aspect regarding Harry and Meghan’s daughter’s birthday. As is known, this was the first time Queen Elizabeth had the chance to meet her great-granddaughter, but it was clear that she wanted to ensure the privacy of the moment. For this reason, he forbade the presence of a photographer to immortalize the moment he first saw Lilibet. A decision contrary to the wishes of the parents of Diana’s granddaughter from Wales: Harry and Meghan wanted their photographer to capture the moment Lilibet met the Queencomments a source to The sun† It should be remembered that the Sussexes named their daughter as an obvious tribute to the monarch, whose family nickname has been Lilibet since she was a child.

These happy moments for the couple took place in the intimacy of the family, but collide head on with their reality when the spotlight is turned on. The only public appearance the Sussexes made during the Jubilee celebrations was in the aforementioned cathedral and nothing went as expected. Harry has experienced his newfound status as an ‘inactive’ member of The Firm. He sat in the second row and saw how his brother had a much bigger lead. He was barely seen conversing with his relatives, a clear sign that his departure from the royal family has left scars. The family ties have been fraying especially since the interview they gave to Oprah Winfrey, in which they made accusations of racism and Meghan spoke openly about her broken relationship with Kate, as well as the lawsuit against some British tabloids.

As with their first child -Archie- Harry and Meghan want to protect their baby’s privacy as much as possible. They do not want photos of their daughter to be published in the media without their permission. They choose when, how and where.
