First photos of Lilibet!

Not at all what I expected.

Both she and Archie are red heads.

She’s cute but who does she look like? Mercifully not Megs.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are celebrating their daughter Lilibet's first birthday with the release of an adorable new photo.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex invited close friends and family to gather for a "casual, intimate backyard picnic" on Saturday at their Frogmore Cottage home, a spokesperson for the couple shared on Monday.

In the sweet photo, Lili smiles as she plays in the yard of her family's home. She wears a blue dress and a white lace bow in her red hair — which she inherited from dad Harry!

Close family friend and guest Misan Harriman who attended Lilibet's party with his wife and children took the "candid, spontaneous photograph that the Duke and Duchess are pleased to share today," the spokesperson added.

Baker Claire Ptak from East London's Violet Bakery was tasked with creating a special cake for Lilibet. Ptak also created Meghan and Harry's wedding cake in 2018.

Harry and Meghan "remain incredibly touched by the countless birthday wishes for their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor," the couple's spokesperson said.

They were "amazed to learn that people around the world made donations" amounting to over $100K to the World Central Kitchen (WCK) in her honor," the spokesperson continued, adding that the couple "extended their gratitude to all who have shown support for the organization, which is especially near to their hearts."

WCK is first on the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crisis. They build resilient food systems with locally-led solutions. Most recently, they provided support in Uvalde, TX and Ukraine.

Last week, Meghan and Harry traveled to the U.K. with their two children — Archie, 3, and Lilibet, who turned 1 on Saturday — for the Queen's Platinum celebrations. They stayed at their U.K. home, Frogmore Cottage, which is just half a mile from Windsor Castle. They returned to California on Sunday.

The trip marked Lili's first visit to the U.K. Meghan and Harry's daughter was born in California and had yet to visit her dad's homeland. Archie was born in the U.K. on May 6, 2019, but hadn't been back since he was six months old.

The trip also gave Lili the opportunity to meet her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, for the first time. The 1-year-old is named for the monarch, as Lilibet was the Queen's childhood nickname.

While Archie and Lili didn't attend any of the Jubilee events, Meghan and Harry stepped out on Thursday for Trooping the Colour and on Friday for a thanksgiving service in honor of the Queen at St. Paul's Cathedral.

They did not attend the Platinum Party at the Palace on Saturday evening nor Sunday's Platinum Jubilee Pageant outside Buckingham Palace.

Members of the royal family marked Lili's big milestone on social media, with Queen Elizabeth, Prince William and Kate Middleton and Prince Charles and Camilla's official accounts sharing birthday tributes to Lili.

In April, Harry and Meghan stopped in the U.K. for a visit with the monarch at Windsor Castle as they made their way to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games.

"It was great, it was really nice to see her. To see her in an element of privacy was nice," Harry told Today.

The Archewell founder also noted that although his family is not based in England, he continues to check up on the Queen.

"I'm just making sure that she's, you know, protected and got the right people around her," he explained of the Queen, who had tested positive for COVID-19 in February. "You know, home — home for me, now, is you know, for the time being, is in the States."

I see similarities in the eyes of Archie, August, and Lili. The inner corners especially look the same.

And every damn time I type the names Archie and Lili/Lilibet, I want to scream directly into H&M's faces.

It's bad enough when regular people give children ridiculous names that aren't suitable for their adulthoods, but to do that to a child you expect to have royal titles is really an absurd way to express how 'differently you'll do the whole royal experience.'

They might just as well have named them Brydyn and Kensyngtin.

To think, that's the best pic they could get. Poor kid.

R30, her eyes will not stay blue. She's probably been locked away inside, hidden from the photographers. Now that she's allowed into the sunlight, her eyes will darken. The hair, too. And, it will probably get curlier. Interracial babies look whiter when they are younger but the black genetics will show more as they get older. Archie's already are.

Why not, Klan whore? They're not the muddy green blue type that changes (like Charlotte's at one year old). They're a deep, pure blue, like Harry's. Is it too much for your racist heart to cope with that Lili has the same eyes as all her dozens of BRF relatives? There was always a 50/50 chance she would.

Armchair geneticist but I sometimes wonder if hair color is passed down from the father rather than the mother. It seems a disproportionate number of kids have their fathers hair color. I worked with a woman who was half Ghanaian/ half Nigerian and married to a blonde British man. All three children were blondes. This is just an anecdotal observation.

I respect the red hair honoring- we do this in my Scottish Jacobite family (which is why I personally hate them being here and swanning about with their titles). Grandparents are very proud of any red highlights and love pics with gingery grandchildren...

My partner jokes that it's a defense mechanism for the deep shame of gingerness. And Meghan is part Irish-American.

And 100% stunt queen - they definitely tried to steal some of the spotlight from the Queen, using a baby, which is just perfect and what we expect from our Duchess of Limited Sussex.

She doesn’t look at ALL like Meghan – but then given all the work Meghan has had done, she wouldn’t. Kind of the problem when you get your face rearranged.

(I did wonder for a second if there’d been some sort of baby swap going on, but she’s pretty much a ginger version of Meghan’s dad, so it does all fit.)

It’s true that the Diana genes really haven’t carried through much to her grandkids – maybe they’ll be more apparent as the younger ones grow up a bit more. George is the only with even a passing resemblance so far.

Probably many of Thomas Markle’s ancestors would also have been shocked at the thought of descendants with African blood. Of course, that is purely speculation based on historical social attitudes It has as little basis in fact as your speculation about the royal family’s attitudes. So I’m not sure what your point is.

When Queen Elizabeth was crowned there was actually commentary exaggerating her minuscule non-European ancestry in an attempt to present her as representative of the entire commonwealth.

In any event, even if the current royal family is obsessed with racial purity, I doubt Harry’s marriage would have caused them much distress. Harry is dynastically irrelevant. His marriage matters to the royal family about as much the Duke of Kent’s marriage.

R79 even if the kids have “red weird hair,” it’s very difficult to know how they will look as adults. Some babies are adorable and grow up to be homely adults. Also, some kids grow up to be handsome or pretty teens (like William) and ordinary looking adults.

Finally, if they find their own hair color so horrible, they can always bleach it. I assume that bleaching would also remove the “smell.”

Obviously with the timing of the release of this photo of young Lilibet, it was a last minute substitute photo for the the photo that they wanted to publish, but were not able to get, which was a photo of the two Lilibets together.

In other words, the photo published for the world to see was simply a last ditch 'Hail Mary' to the media outlets that had reserved space for the much hoped for two-Lilibets photo. Which means that the Harkles PR had told the international press to hold space for the photo, then when they came up short, they switch to the one we saw of Little Lilibet sitting n the grass. And more specifically, I want to know, was that picture actually taken at Frogmore, or Montecito?

I'm sure, at this point, someone has analyzed the weather at Frogmore that day, right? If not, get on it! It looks pretty sunny in that pic.

And you can conjecture that the picture of the two Lilibets would have been pre-sold to the media outlets with contracts signed agreeing to publish the day following the actual meeting of the two Lilibets. Failure to deliver the contracted goods would result in non-payment, so the Harkles lost out on a huge pay-day, because young Lilibet sitting in the grass is not what was contracted for. No wonder they were in a huge huff and jetted home.

I doubt they would have pre-sold that potential picture to anyone. Netflix is already known to be cross with them having not actually produced any content and continuing to give interviews to other outlets. It was Netflix more than anyone who wanted that picture or video to be the centerpiece of their upcoming realty/documentary series.

The Queen had retired her nickname when her husband died. How callous of H&M to name their daughter that especially after how they treated the family.

by Anonymousreply 119June 10, 2022 6:06 AM

No she hasn’t retired her nickname, R119 - don’t make stuff up.

The Queen has been known as “Lilibet” to family and close friends since she could speak - as “Lilibet” was how she pronounced her given name as a child. Philip didn’t give it to her.

That doesn’t make the Harkles appropriating the name ok - it isn’t - but don’t muddy the waters by saying spurious things such as Philip granting her the nickname and the Queen retiring it.

He didn’t and she hasn’t.

by Anonymousreply 120June 10, 2022 6:55 AM

The unique private name shows their personal connection with QE2, long after she's gone. Many people are named Diana or Elizabeth, so that wouldn't have been the same at all.

When she finally dies, Harry will recount a highly exaggerated deep, close relationship with his grandmother, and no one will be able to challenge him.

Lily would have been fine. Archibald would have been ok, and they could still call him Archie.

Meghan always gets everything wrong. She may be conniving but she's still stupid - I think even stupider than Harry. One of the youtube people - Sean I think - said Harry's been upset with Meghan ever since she made that stunt-trip to Texas that he was adamantly against.

If she takes up the gun control issue -- he knows the BRF will be very upset with him getting involved in US politics, won't they? But hell, I guess she thinks she can be president. If a country can elect Donald Trump... you know, maybe she's right. But like Palin, I think she's too stupid - even more than the Donald. She such a scourge.

by Anonymousreply 129June 11, 2022 1:54 PM

R99, you've inspired me to write a timeline and questions we need to answer!

a. H/M return to UK for the Jubilee under a cloud of suspicion based on their awful behavior and terrible life choices. (Note: We have no evidence to support that they have brought their children. But, at this point, we assume the kids are in tow.)

b. They attend Trouping of Color but are relegated to the "kids' table" room--far from where the main players are gathered to appear on the balcony. They are seen shoving their faces into a window and preening with small children to ensure their presence is captured by the media.

c. The Trouping event is followed by a private family lunch. We can not confirm that H/M were invited to the lunch or if they attended.

d. H/M were invited to the Thanksgiving Service. They arrive by private car while other third-tier royals arrive by bus. There are reports that H/M arrived late intentionally for bus departure so that they would have a private car provided. We have not confirmed this.

e. They arrive at church and are greeted mainly with cheers. Meghan employees her whore sashay up the steps. They are escorted to their seats in the second row--far from Charles/William--and Harry seems to question the usher and his cousins about the seating. But they take the seats with no incident other than Harry's sour expression.

f. H/M get booed as they leave the service. No one in the family seems to interact with them as they depart. Mike Tindall seems to be deliberately avoiding eye contact on church steps.

g. There is a reception following the service. H/M don't attend. We have conflicting info on why they weren't there: a.) they weren't invited; b.) they were invited but so rattled by the booing they skipped it; c.) invited but skipped because of the church seating snub; d.) invited but discovered they'd be cordoned off in a room away from the main reception area so they skipped it.

h. They throw a birthday party for Lilibet. No confirmation on who attended. There is no conclusive photographic proof of the event (see below on release of Lilibet birthday photo).

i. H/M do not attend the Party at the Palace. We don't know if they were invited. If they were invited, we don't know why they skipped it. Speculation ranges from they discovered they wouldn't be in the royal box to they went to Windsor at the Queen's invitation to watch it on television with her.

j. H/M do not attend the Pageant. We don't know if they were invited. We do know that they departed by private jet about an hour before the pageant began, ensuring they would not be in the UK for the final balcony appearance.

k. Photos show only Harry disembarking in the U.S. No photos of Meghan or the kids leaving the airfield. But no info that they weren't on the plane.

l. H/M release pic of 1 year old Lilibet. The photo offers no evidence of where or when it was taken. It shows Lilibet sitting in the grass with the background of part of a building blurred. The photos released that day on Twitter and Instagram by Meghan's acquaintance, Misan Harriman, show Megan with Lilibet Harriman, her husband/photographer, and their children celebrating Lilibet's 1st birthday. But there are no specifics on when these images were captured and where the event took place. There is speculation based on the vagaries of the language of the post that the photos were taken before the UK trip and posted as suggested evidence of a birthday party in the UK.

Finally: Did Lilibet meet the Queen and, if so, where, when and under what circumstances.

by Anonymousreply 130June 11, 2022 3:19 PM

Harry really made a mess of his life. He could have had it all, respect and love from the people and being part of his family.

He gave it all up for, what? Some narcissist, gold digging, bitter, washed up actress .

He made his choice and can't have it both ways. It seems like he may be starting to realize that he made the wrong choice.

R130's excellent summation of events has one small error of omission. Under g), the Guildhall piss-up, of all of the possibilities offered, the one that makes the most sense is not the petulant fuck us fuck you behavior due to the various noted slights beforehand, but a) they weren't invited, because Ginger has a suit against the UK government and most of the guests were senior cabinet ministers and members of the current government.

Thank you for the summation.

About (d), I've seen other reports, by journalists rather than Lady C, that a separate car was ordered for the Sussexes to the church service, as opposed to the bus. This makes sense because if they were there to get royals on tape, or even if they later decided to just flat out lie about what one or more of the royals told them while they were on that bus - well, they wouldn't have that opportunity if they went by themselves in a Land Rover or whatever. One royals said it was the Queen who approved this.

It's also a bit of a peace offering to let them make their "entrance" on their own - before the real royalty start their fabulous entrances -- when Meghan notably turned her head away in the opposite direction when the nemesis, Kate, processed down the aisle.

I think that the prejudice - which is too strong a word really - about ‘gingers’ in the UK, may have come from the exiled Stuart pretenders and even the Irish. I don't think there has been a British Monarch since then with the dark red hair of the Tudors and Stuarts. Victoria’s looked to be more of a copper colour.

There have been a lot of people guessing these two won't make it together very long - Harry was (and still is?) furious that Meghan went on that Texas-stunt trip to Uvalde - he thought it was a terrible idea and tried to stop her, apparently.

And at least one youtuber says they're splitting up - and Camille Vasquez (Johnny Depp's attorney) may represent Harry. I don't put much store in that particular youtuber though - she didn't have receipts, just said she followed the story online. I can't find any reference to what she said - esp the Camille part, like WTF? Wouldn't the BRF intervene to try to stop this from becoming a circus like Amber-Johnny? Pay her off or something?

I just see Harry becoming so bitter and depressed, increasing drug and alcohol intake, screaming to go back to England, that living with him becomes a prison sentence for MM.

If Harry was smart (he's not), he could pull off a "Katie Holmes" like maneuver. If he could convince the BRF that he really wanted to save his kids and come back to the UK with them, they might have the resources to help him pull it off. Some James Bond type misdirection, etc. If he has any true feelings about his kids, he might have had a chance.

But he's not smart, and he won't ask because he's vengeful and burned his bridges.
