Lilibet, the only princess born in America, turns 5
Born on June 4, 2021 in Santa Barbara, California, and baptized with the name Lilibet Diana, the princess is the youngest of Carlo’s five grandchildren. In addition to her grandmother Diana, the little girl took her name from her great-grandmother, Elizabeth II, whose nickname in the family was “Lilibet”. The queen seems not to have been very happy about it, also because she had not been consulted in advance: they had only informed her of the decision.

Unlike his brother Archie, 7 years old, there little sister was not yet born when her parents retired from royal duties in March 2020, moving to the US with their firstborn. In recent years, Lilibet has missed out on several Royal opportunities and events. And he never had the opportunity to undertake a Royal tour.

The many photos of Lilibet (but always from behind)
There are only dozens of photographs of Lilibet that show her strictly from behind. No one has ever seen her in public. However, their mother Meghan has been accused several times of using her children’s image for commercial reasons, sharing photos and videos that always portray them half-hidden and only to promote her brand. As Ever. But Markle defended herself: “Sharing moments of your life is different from exposing your children to public judgment,” one of his spokespersons told the American media. But who knows, maybe in a few weeks, Lilibet’s face and that of her brother Archie will finally be revealed to the world. Next to grandfather Carlo.
