JUST a couple days after the Platinum Jubilee celebrating the 75th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s rule, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, released a new photo of their daughter, Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Lilibet is named after her great grandmother.
In the photo, Lilibet sits in the grass of her family's UK home, wearing a blue dress and a white bow in her hair. She celebrated her first birthday on Saturday at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in the UK, with close friends and family enjoying a casual, intimate backyard picnic.
"Close family friend and guest, Misan Harriman, who attended Lilibet's special day with his wife and children, took the candid, spontaneous photograph that The Duke and Duchess are pleased to share today," a spokesperson for the family said.
Harry and Meghan were in the UK to celebrate the jubilee, with an event on Friday being their first appearance at a royal event in more than two years, attending a thanksgiving service for the queen at St Paul's Cathedral.
Fellow members of the royal family tweeted out their congratulations.
Wishing a very happy birthday to Lilibet, turning one today! ?

To celebrate Lili's first year around the sun, Harry and Meghan invited close friends and family to a casual, intimate backyard picnic at Frogmore Cottage in England, according to a spokesperson for the family.
Previously, Harry and Megan had shared only one picture of their daughter, on the family's 2021 holiday card, along with her parents and brother, Archie. – The Vibes, June 7, 2022
