It was misunderstanding the royal family to imagine that, once past the jubilee celebrating the 70 years of reign of Queen Elizabeth II, we would hear no more of her. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released the first official photo of their second child, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, on Monday evening. who celebrated his very first birthday on Saturday.
Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor’s photo was posted on the Instagram account of family friend and photographer Misan Harriman. We see the child sitting in the grass, in a blue dress. His red hair – like his father – is unmistakable. In another photo, published at the same time, we see the child in the arms of his mother.
The dissemination of this photo could, however, confirm what was rustling in London. Queen Elizabeth II reportedly met the child for the first time this weekend, on the occasion of the jubilee and the ceremonies that took place in the kingdom in his honor. It was on this occasion that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, two years after leaving for Californiahad returned to Britain for a royal event.
Great-granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor is eighth in line to the British throne. She takes her first name from the nickname given to her great-grandmother. Her middle name – Diana – is obviously a reference to her grandmother, Harry’s mother, Diana Spencer, known as Lady Di, who died in 1997 in a car accident.
