Lilibet will celebrate her third birthday on June 4.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have cause for celebration on June 4 as their daughter, Princess Lilibet, celebrates her third birthday.
The princess was born at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California and weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces. She is King Charles III’s youngest grandchild and his second granddaughter.
A statement released by her parents at the time of her birth said: “On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
Lilibet was not born a princess, owing to rules on which members of the royal family can use the titles of prince and princess which were set down by King George V in 1917.
However, in 2022, when her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, died and her grandfather, King Charles III, became king, Lilibet and her brother Archie were eligible to use the titles.
The first official use of “Princess Lilibet” was made in March 2023 when it was announced that she had been christened in California.
So far, Lilibet is believed to have only visited Britain once, for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth in June 2022. It was during this trip that the young royal celebrated her first birthday.
