As well as making an appearance at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared their first official photo of Lilibet Diana last month.
The photo was captured during Lilibet's first birthday party at Frogmore Cottage, where the couple stayed during their whirlwind trip to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last week. The gorgeous photo, which saw Lillibet wearing a pale blue dress and a floral white headband, was taken by the couple's friend, Misan Harriman, who was one of the lucky VIPs to be invited to the A-list bash.

Meghan and Harry also have a big brother to Lilibet, Archie, who when he turned three in May, had some very royal birthday wishes. The Queen sent Archie her birthday wishes on Twitter, shortly before the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared their own special message for the royal toddler.
Prince William also congratulated the winners of the 2022 Diana award by letter, saying, "You are part of an inspirational generation of young people who are changing the world through your actions, and I hugely admire your efforts.
“You truly are the personification of my mother’s legacy and I know she would be so proud of you all. I believe there’s no better way to celebrate her life and work than through recognising incredible people who dedicate so much time and effort to helping those around them.”
