Lilibet Makes Rare Appearance with Meghan in Adorable New Photo

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s daughter is as cute as ever. 

In a seldom seen occasion, three-year-old Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s child, was pictured alongside her mother on the homepage image of Meghan’s newly unveiled website As Ever, which went live on February 18th.

In the picture, we see Meghan, Archie Harrison’s 5-year-old mother who is with Harry, and Lilibet strolling together through a lovely, verdant field. The duo are barefoot and dressed in matching white outfits, with Lilibet holding on to her mother’s hand.

Additionally, as Harry had pointed out to Hello! magazine earlier, Lili and Meghan’s hairstyles appear strikingly similar in the image, with their long tresses cascading down their backs as they dash along.

The former Suits star recently unveiled her new lifestyle brand’s website, previously known as American Riviera Orchard, during a bustling period on social media for her. Notably, Meghan has given insights into family matters this month, such as a touching tribute to her spouse on Valentine’s Day (Feb 14), when they were apart.

At home, I’m caring for our little ones while dearly missing my Valentine, who is still participating in the Invictus Games, inspiring everyone with his actions. He’s making a difference and serving as a powerful symbol of healing and resilience among these remarkable veterans and their families. I couldn’t be more proud of my husband and the incredible things he’s accomplished. (This sentence is based on the original but rephrased for clarity and natural flow)

She gently put it, “Darling, let’s always enjoy burgers and fries, as well as fish and chips together, forever. Thanks to you.

43-year-old Meghan gave a glimpse of how Valentine’s Day unfolded at her California home, along with Archie and Lili. On an Instagram Story playing Nat King Cole‘s “L-O-V-E”, she later posted, she and her kids were seen preparing heart-shaped strawberries and red-and-white bagels. In the video, the children helped their mom in the kitchen before carrying the delightful treat to the backyard for a lovely outdoor feast.

Despite being absent during his involvement in the Invictus Games, a bi-annual sports event for injured and ill veterans held in Vancouver, the 40-year-old had previously mentioned that Archie and Lili, their children, have demonstrated an interest in his charitable endeavors.

Harry shared with People magazine in a February 12 article that he and his family are deeply intrigued by the subject matter. Discussing diversity and differences, particularly explaining to children why some people have physical limitations or unique appearances, can be both demanding and crucial, he emphasized.

In response to a question in 2015, he told Sky News that it’s not something you can rush or make happen artificially; it happens when it’s meant to. When asked if the birth of Princess Charlotte made him consider settling down, he mentioned that while he would love to have children right away, there are certain steps one needs to take first.

In the past, Meghan Markle also bought a Cartier French Tank watch with her future child in mind. She shared with Hello! magazine in 2015 that when she learned Suits was renewed for our third season (which seemed significant at the time), she decided to treat herself and purchased the two-tone version of the watch. She had it engraved, “To M.M. From M.M.”, intending to pass it on to her daughter someday.

The topic of fatherhood, much like marriage, has consistently followed Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana’s younger son. He expressed to People magazine in May 2016, just prior to meeting his future spouse, “There are times when I think, ‘I’d love to have kids now,’ especially during our overseas tours… But there are also moments when I shy away from the thought, saying to myself, ‘No need for children!’ There’s no hurry. At times, I’ve even been deterred from having children.

2017 saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announce their engagement and grant their first joint interview together. As expected, the subject of potential children was broached. “Absolutely,” Prince Harry expressed, “We’re taking things one step at a time, and hopefully, we’ll become parents soon.” Meghan smiled next to him as he spoke.

Experiencing motherhood after Archie’s arrival has been nothing short of enchanting for me. It’s simply awe-inspiring, and let me tell you, I am beyond blessed to be surrounded by two extraordinary men – my partner and our little one. Needless to say, I couldn’t be happier.

After Archie was born in May 2019, Harry expressed his joy by saying, “This experience has surpassed all my expectations. I can hardly imagine anything more wonderful. The strength and resilience of women never ceases to amaze me, but we are both overjoyed and deeply grateful for the love and support we’ve received from everyone. It’s been an incredible journey, so we wanted to share our happiness with everyone.

During his speech at the National Youth Mentoring Summit in 2019, Harry pondered the valuable insights he’s gained since becoming a parent. He revealed, “Today, I find myself struck by several things, primarily the impact of unseen role models. There may be someone here today who doesn’t realize they are looked up to. For that person, you serve as an inspiration to act with kindness, strive for excellence, and make a bigger difference. As a father, I now understand clearly that my son is always watching me, learning from my actions, and potentially emulating my path in life.

In 2020, during a public appearance, Prince Harry expressed that our smallest concern is undeniably our top priority. However, our duties following that take second place, and we are simply striving to contribute in any way possible to enhance global conditions.

Harry and Meghan discovered a positive aspect during the coronavirus pandemic by being with their baby Archie. In Meghan’s words from October 2020, “In numerous aspects, we are grateful for this time to witness him grow, as if COVID weren’t present, we would be traveling and working more, which would cause us to miss out on many of those precious moments.” She added, “It has been a lot of wonderful family time instead.

Harry mentioned, “We witnessed all of Archie’s milestones – his first steps, his initial run, his initial stumble, every significant moment.

In May 2021, Meghan appeared infrequently on television during Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World event. During this occasion, the former actress spoke candidly about her pregnancy and expressed her enthusiasm for raising a daughter. She stated, “My partner and I are overjoyed at the prospect of soon welcoming a daughter. We feel a sense of happiness shared by countless families worldwide.” Reflecting on their new family member, she emphasized, “When we imagine her, we envision all the young women and girls globally who deserve the opportunity and encouragement to lead us into the future.

She stated, “Our present choices and actions will shape their future leadership, leading towards a prosperous, fair, and empathetic tomorrow, not just for them, but for all of us as well.

Meghan briefly appears in her husband’s Apple TV+ series titled “The Me You Can’t See, co-hosted by Oprah. In this episode, she seems to honor her expanding family with a shirt that carries the message, “Nurturing Tomorrow.

On June 4th, they joyfully introduced their newborn daughter, Lili, to the world. In a post on their Archewell Foundation page, they expressed, “Our hearts are overflowing as we welcomed our little girl into our lives on the 4th of June. Lili is more wonderful than we could have ever dreamed, and we continue to be touched by the love and blessings we’ve received from people all around the world. Thank you for your ongoing compassion and encouragement during this extraordinary time in our family.

On June 8, 2021, Meghan will debut her first children’s book titled “The Bench“. This book is a tribute to fatherhood as observed from a mother’s point of view. Speaking about her upcoming project in a press release last May, she stated that the story originated from a poem she wrote for her husband on Father’s Day, just a month after their son Archie was born. This poem served as the foundation for this book.

In a letter dated October 2021 to House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, Meghan expressed her joy yet burdened feelings upon the birth of her child during a time when the pandemic had disrupted normal activities in hospitals, schools, and other places.

In simpler terms, she expressed that, much like many other parents, we were fortunate enough not to face the difficult dilemma of either staying with our newborn during the crucial initial months or returning to work. Instead, we had the opportunity to bring our baby home and dedicate all our time and resources to our children and family during this important stage. This decision allowed us to avoid the daily tough choices that many have to make regarding childcare, employment, and healthcare.

Meghan went on to say, “Nobody should find themselves in a situation where they must make such choices. No family ought to have to balance the need to work and the ability to care for their child (or relative, or self, which would be addressed by a well-rounded paid leave policy).

In April 2022, as reported on TODAY, Harry mentioned that integrating his work-from-home schedule with his parenting responsibilities was essentially impossible.

Archie tends to break into our Zoom meetings more frequently than anyone else, according to him,” he noted, adding that “he seems to be quite the interrupter too, which is somewhat interesting.

Harry observed that his son’s wit bore a resemblance to his own. “I make it a point to nurture that,” he continued. “I believe that a touch of mischief helps one to live longer.

Meghan admitted she was concerned for her—and everybody else’s—kids in the age of social media.

In her talk at the Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit on World Mental Health Day in October 2023, she emphasized that being a mother holds the highest significance in her life, second only to being Harry’s wife.

As a lifestyle expert, I must confess, I consider ourselves incredibly blessed as our little ones are still quite tender-aged, so we don’t have to confront these changes immediately. However, I can’t help but feel a sense of apprehension about how rapidly things are evolving. The future is undoubtedly something that lies ahead for us all.

As a parent, Meghan pointed out that life moves quickly, with each day seeming lengthy yet the years passing swiftly. In this context, she expressed her concern about how everyone, including herself, is influenced by the digital realm and social media platforms. What we all yearn for, she emphasized, is a sense of safety.

During a visit to Lightway Academy in Abuja, Nigeria in May 2024, Meghan addressed a group of kindergarteners, “Our little girl, Lili, is far smaller than all of you. She’s almost 3 years old now. Just recently, she looked at me and said, ‘Mama, I can see myself in your eyes.’

Meghan explained, “‘She was speaking quite literally,’ but the message resonated with me deeply. I interpreted it as, ‘Indeed, I recognize myself in you, and vice versa.’
