Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor celebrated her fourth birthday on June 4, 2023. She’s the second child, and first daughter, of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Lilibet was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. She is the first senior royal baby born in America, as well as the first great-grandchild of the late Queen Elizabeth II to be born outside the United Kingdom.
This philanthropic family of four resides in Montecito, California. Despite facing criticism, the couple never looked back after making the move in 2020, following their withdrawal from their senior royal duties. Lilibet, named Lilybet, and commonly called “Lili,” lives with her big brother Archie, now 6, and their parents. Prince Harry and Meghan have embraced their new life in California, sharing glimpses of their family life through various media.
Meghan celebrated Lilibet’s birthday just recently by posting sweet messages about her on Instagram. As a surprise, she even shared a clip of herself and Prince Harry cutting loose in the delivery room. This unique occasion caught the joy of these special moments, including their preparations to welcome their second daughter, Lilibet.

Meghan posted these adorable pictures of Prince Harry and Lilibet playing together. She later called their relationship “the sweetest bond to watch unfold.”

Indeed, both Prince Harry and Meghan have spoken candidly about how much they love being parents. Prince Harry previously shared insights about their children during an interview with ABC News, stating that both Lilibet and Archie are doing “great” and growing up “very, very fast.” He also spoke to the importance of their children as a force that reminds them of what’s important with their humor.

In a recent joyful moment captured by Meghan, Lilibet enthusiastically expressed her independence while making preserves, saying, “No, no, Mama, I’ll do it. I’ll stir it. I’ll mash it.”
With Lilibet about to celebrate her fourth birthday, the family couldn’t be happier as they settle into their new life. Meghan’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan debuted in March 2023. It provides a delightful and surprisingly intimate look into their lives in California.
