One person said: “Lilibet Diana with her darling parents looking absolutely happy. Princess Diana Spencer granddaughter. Look at that hair.”
Another wrote: “Omg these birthday photos of Lili are pure magic! Seeing her resting so peacefully in Harry’s arms is just too sweet.”
A third added: “Happy birthday to adorable Lilibet! Prince Harry’s mini-me ginger princess!”
Prince Harry previously spoke about Lilibet’s birth in his memoir, Spare.
The Duke of Sussex said he and Meghan were calmer during Lili’s birth compared to their son Prince Archie‘s birth in 2019, when they were still working royals.
Inside Lilibet’s ‘calm’ birth
Harry wrote in Spare: “When the big day came, we were both surer, calmer – steadier. What bliss, we said, not having to worry about timing, protocols, journalists at the front gate.
“We drove calmly, sanely to the hospital, where our bodyguards once again fed us. This time they brought burgers and fries from In-N-Out. And fajitas from a local Mexican restaurant for Meg. We ate and ate and then did the Baby Mama dance around the hospital room. Nothing but joy and love in that room.”
Omg these birthday photos of Lili are pure magic.
Harry also detailed the moment he helped deliver Lilibet into the world. But, he did have some worries during the moment.
He said: “I went and stood beside the doctor. We both crouched. As if about to pray. The doctor called out: The head is crowning. Crowning, I thought. Incredible.
“The skin was blue. I was worried the baby wasn’t getting enough air. Is she choking? I looked at Meg. One more push, my love! We’re so close.”
Sweetly, the duke revealed: “Gently, but firmly, as I’d seen in films, I pulled our precious daughter from that world into this.”
