Prince Harry and Megan Markle will be celebrating today (June 4) as their little princess turns three.
Princess Lilibet was born in California, US, in June 2021 and named after her late great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. Her parents also wanted to honour Harry's late mother by using Diana for her middle name.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex held a party for their daughter at their grand home in Montecito, Santa Barbara, last weekend to celebrate. Although it is believed the guest list was small, their friends and family who live in the US joined the celebration. No members of the Royal Family attended the event.
Fans will no doubt be hoping for a peak inside the special event as they wait for Meghan and Harry to share pictures. But when an insight into their home life and Lilibet's first birthday was shared in their Netflix docuseries, fans couldn't help notice how much she looks like one Royal Family member.

One other said: "The only granddaughter that resembles the late Princess Diana is Princess Lilibet of Sussex. Princess Lilibet inherited her grandmother blue eyes, face shape and smile."
Megan provided a sweet insight into Lilibet's personality during a visit to the Lightway Academy in Abuja, ahead of the little one's birthday. Taking part in a conversation about mental health, the Duchess of Sussex said: "Our daughter, Lili, she's much, much tinier than you guys. She's about to turn three.
"And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she said 'Mama, I see me in you'. Oh, now she was talking really, literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well."
