Overview

  • Meghan Markle’s Instagram tribute featured two black-and-white photos—a windswept shot of her and Lilibet on a boat and a skin-to-skin cradle moment from the day of the princess’s birth.
  • She also posted a throwback video of her and Prince Harry dancing to Starrkeisha’s “The Baby Momma Dance” in a Santa Barbara hospital room as a lighthearted bid to induce labor.
  • Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, named for Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, and only gained the title of princess after King Charles III’s accession.
  • The Sussexes have maintained a private life for their children while gradually sharing curated glimpses—this week’s posts followed their likely intimate celebration at their Montecito estate.
  • On her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan hinted at a future mother-daughter business venture, expressing a desire to build something with Lilibet one day.
