The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released a new picture of Lilibet on her first birthday at Frogmore Cottage during the Platinum Jubilee.
Harry and Meghan hosted a ‘relaxed’ garden party on Saturday for little Lilibet, one, in the Windsor estate with birthday cake, balloons, party games and picnic snacks, it is understood.
She is seen on her birthday in an official photograph with reddish locks, smiling and dressed in a pale blue frock with a white bow in her hair.
When Prince Harry was also one, he was pictured with his trademark reddish locks, similar to how his daughter looks now.
The Lilibet picture was taken by photographer and friend of the couple Misan Harriman, who attended the picnic with members of the Royal family.
Those who are said to have attended include Zara and Mike Tindall’s three children, Mia, eight, Lena, three, and Lucas, one, as well as Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, daughters of Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly.
Three-year-old Archie’s godfather, Charlie Van Straubenzee, and his brother Tom, godfather to Princess Charlotte, were also invited, it is understood.
Posting the picture of little Lillibet – who is named after the Queen – on his Instagram royal commentator and friend of the Sussexes Omid Scobie said the couple invited close friends and family for an ‘intimate backyard picnic’.
The Queen was also said to have met her namesake on Thursday or Friday during the Platinum Jubilee festivities.

‘The idea was for it to be very relaxed and casual, with people free to pop in and out as they wished.’
They said that it was a ‘nice opportunity’ for some of the royal children to meet little Lilibet, with this trip being her first time in the UK.
They added that ‘lots of discussion’ had been had about the best gifts for the ‘milestone’ birthday, with a ‘£75 pink Volkswagen Beetle ride-on toy’ proving a popular idea.
