The royal family is no
stranger to a candid birthday photos but for Lilibet, the youngest child
of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, her epic first birthday was
celebrated with just messages from her royal family members, as no photos of
the one-year-old were shared.
Until Friday, Lili had never
met her great-grandmother, the Queen, despite having been affectionately
named after her. She was born during the COVID pandemic and lives in America
meaning she hasn’t had many opportunities to be captured with her extended
family.
Instead, royal family members
penned sweet messages to the infant. Grandparents Prince
Charles and Duchess Camilla said: “Wishing Lilibet a very
happy 1st birthday today!” with a birthday cake emoji.
Uncle and Aunt, the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge also wrote a heartfelt message to their niece and penned:
“Wishing a very happy birthday to Lilibet, turning one today!”
alongside a balloon emoji.
For cousins Charlotte, seven
and four-year-old Louis’ recent birthdays the duchess took a series of private
photos of her children, which she shared on social media.
