Meghan Markle ‘s hairdresser and close friend has revealed how the Duke and Duchess’ son Archie is the ‘cutest, well mannered boy’ while their baby girl Lilibet is ‘beautiful’.
George Northwood, who recently jetted out to the Netherlands to do Meghan’s beauty while she attended the Invictus Games with husband, shared a post on Instagram with several images of the Duchess yesterday.
In a gushing caption, he posted: ‘So nostalgic and wonderful to be reunited Harry, Meghan and their family in the UK. Archie has grown to be the cutest, well mannered little boy and Lilibet is just beautiful.’
It comes after The Queen reportedly met her great-granddaughter Lilibet for the first time after Prince Harry and Meghan had lunch with the monarch and senior royals behind closed doors as part of Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Meanwhile royal fans have been desperate to catch a glimpse of three-year-old Archie and Lilibet, who turns one tomorrow. Many have bemoaned the absence of Archie and Lilibet from the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. The royal couple have shared very few photographs of Archie, while they have only released one image of Lili – a Christmas card which the Duke and Duchess shared on their Archewell website in December.
Archie has rarely been seen since the couple stepped back as senior royals in March last year, with the couple releasing a few sparing pictures of him showing him with his back to the camera. During the Oprah Winfrey interview and Prince Harry’s mental health documentary, he made an appearance but royal fans were only be able to get a glimpse of the youngster’s face.
It also marked the first time royal fans have been able to see Lilibet’s face. Meghan is thought to have revealed a grainy first photograph of her second child after a framed picture of Prince Harry kissing a newborn baby took pride of place on her desk in a video for her 40th birthday.
Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s second child, was born on June 4 in Santa Barbara, California, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, and is eighth in line to the throne. She was named after the Queen’s childhood nickname, while her middle name Diana was in tribute to Harry’s late mother. The baby weighed 7lbs 11oz. No photographs of Lilibet were released following her birth, unlike her brother Archie, who had a photocall at Windsor Castle in 2019.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have introduced their little girl to the Queen – nicknamed Lilibet as a child – yesterday at Windsor after attending a private Royal Family lunch at Buckingham Palace following Trooping the Colour.
News of the Queen’s alleged meeting with Lilibet yesterday – which came ahead of her first birthday today – was revealed on BBC Breakfast today by royal commentator Omid Scobie, who is friendly with the Sussexes.
