How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated daughter Lilibet’s 3rd birthday
Princess Lilibet is turning 3!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kicked off their daughter’s pre-birthday bash by celebrating at their Montecito, Calif., home with close friends and family Sunday, Page Six can confirm.
People was the first to report the news.
Last month, Markle — who also shares son Prince Archie, 5, with Harry — gave a rare insight into their second-born child’s personality.
The “Suits” alum, 42, told students at Lightway Academy in Nigeria that dance was Lilibet’s “favorite class” because of “all the jumping around.”
While giving a speech at the school about mental health, Markle shared a recent conversation she had with the toddler.
“A few weeks ago, she looked at me and she could just see the reflection in my eyes,” she recalled. “And she was [like], ‘Mama, I see me in you.'”
Markle expressed how much she missed her children during her and the Invictus Games founder’s three-day trek to promote mental health for soldiers in Nigeria.
“Today is Mother’s Day [in America],” she said during a speech at the Lagos State Government House May 12.
“So it feels appropriate that, although of course we are missing our children, I’m missing my babies, it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family.”
Harry, 39, and Markle — who tied the knot in May 2018 — welcomed Archie and Lilibet in May 2019 and June 2021, respectively.
The family of four currently resides in Montecito in an ultra-private $14 million mansion.
Tensions have been high between Harry and Markle and the royal family since they resigned from their royal duties in 2020.
Their relationship became fractured even further after the release of Harry’s tell-all memoir, “Spare,” and the couple’s Netflix series, “Harry & Meghan.”
Last year, the royal family publicly ignored Lilibet’s 2nd birthday after acknowledging her special day on their socials the year prior.
A royal source claimed at the time that Harry’s dad, King Charles III, who is currently batting cancer, and Queen Camilla snubbed their granddaughter online because they “don’t mark the birthdays of non-working members.”
