Meghan Markle Finally Reveals Lilibet’s Face in Rare Photo — Fans Say She Looks Just Like One Royal
Princess Lilibet turned four on Wednesday, June 4, and to mark the special day, Meghan Markle shared three carousels of her daughter on Instagram. The first photo captured the Duchess tenderly cuddling Lilibet on a boat. As the image made the rounds on the internet, royal watchers were thrilled as they noted who Lilibet resembled — a spitting image of her late grandmother, Princess Diana.
On X (formerly Twitter), a royal watcher remarked, “She certainly did! Beautiful red hair and glorious blue eyes…passed on to her granddaughter…Princess Lilibet!” Another echoed, “She looks like a mini Princess Diana ?.” Meanwhile, a netizen penned, “She may have a bit of Diana about her, but she’s guaranteed to have nothing of Charles about her.”
Royal watchers also opined that little Lilibet was a dead ringer for her maternal grandfather, Thomas. A netizen said, “She looks like her grandfather Thomas Markle ?????.” Another agreed, “The girl has definitely got Thomas Markle’s eyes.” A fan begged to differ with the rest, commenting, “She has Harry’s whole face ??.” However, a royal watcher argued, “I don’t see how you can say she looks like anyone, the majority of her face is covered up.”
Markle, in her birthday posts, also made it clear that Lilibet was ‘Daddy’s little girl.’ As reported by Harper's Bazaar, she shared two adorable photos of Harry holding his then-newborn daughter in his arms. The second image saw Lilibet holding her father's hand, running down a garden. Back in 2018, the Duke of Sussex declared pretty openly that he wished for a girl child. As per Cosmopolitan, a video posted on social media captures a bystander wishing the Duke well, saying, “Congratulations, I hope it's a girl!” To which Harry replies: “So do I!” While the Duke and Duchess welcomed a boy the following year, we can only imagine their joy when they finally got their baby girl two years later!
Markle’s photo of Lilibet that featured her face (albeit partially) surprised many as the Duchess has consistently spoken about protecting her children’s privacy. One of the heartfelt photos also showed her cradling newborn Lilibet in her arms. The caption read, “Four years ago today, she came into our lives, and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!” As per People magazine, Markle also posted a video of herself heavily pregnant with Lilibet and dancing in a hospital room to induce labor. She and Prince Harry grooved and danced to the tunes of The Baby Momma Dance by Starrkista. The Duchess jokingly revealed that she had to turn to dancing when “spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work.”
