Happy Birthday Princess Lili” Fans Say Lilibet Looks Like Princess Diana
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their daughter Lilibet’s birthday earlier this week with a private gathering. The young royal, born on June 4, 2021, in California, was named in honor of her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and carries the middle name Diana, after Harry’s late mother, according to Mirror.
This year’s celebrations were a low-key affair, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex offered fans a glimpse into their private lives by sharing a clip from one of Lilibet’s previous birthdays. This footage, taken during festivities at Frogmore Cottage, was featured in their Netflix docuseries. Fans immediately noticed a striking resemblance between Lilibet and a beloved Royal Family member.
On social media platform X, royal fans expressed their thoughts on Lilibet’s appearance. One user shared, “Happy Birthday Princess Lili. You look so much like your grandmother, Princess Diana.” This sentiment was echoed by many others. Another fan commented, “I am convinced Lilibet will grow up to look just like Diana.” Yet another observed, “Lilibet looks 100% like her grandma (Princess Diana).”
The discussions continued, with one user stating, “Archie looks like Meghan and Lilibet looks like Diana’s family,” while another added, “The only granddaughter that resembles the late Princess Diana is Princess Lilibet of Sussex. Princess Lilibet inherited her grandmother’s blue eyes, face shape, and smile.”
In a touching moment leading up to Lilibet’s birthday, Meghan Markle shared an endearing anecdote during a visit to Lightway Academy in Abuja. While discussing mental health, the Duchess of Sussex reflected on a conversation she had with Lilibet. “Our daughter, Lili, she’s much, much tinier than you guys. She’s about to turn three. A few weeks ago, she looked at me and saw her reflection in my eyes. She said, ‘Mama, I see me in you.’ While she was speaking literally, I took those words to heart. I see myself in you, and you see me in you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s intimate celebration of Lilibet’s birthday and their reflections on family and resemblance have delighted royal fans, continuing to connect the legacy of Princess Diana with the new generation.
