Prince Harry Has Confirmed Which Royal Family Member Princess Lilibet Takes After

Prince Harry was once seen as the perfect member of the Royal Family. He attended every occasion, served in the army, and dedicated his life to his country. However, his public image began to shift after marrying former actress Meghan Markle. Since then, the two have taken a massive step back from the public eye. After the birth of his daughter, Princess Lilibet, Harry refused to share any details regarding their private life. However, in a turn of events, he recently confirmed which royal family member she seems to take after. You may be surprised by what he had to say.

A Life of Drama

In 2021, the world learned of the passing of Prince Phillip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. His death shocked the world and left the Royal Family in mourning. A massive funeral was held, which Prince Harry attended. However, Meghan was unable to attend, as she was heavily pregnant with Lili and was not cleared by her doctor to fly. Even though Harry was obviously shaken by this loss, the media hounded him.

This resulted in his return to America to be with his wife and children. Harry and Meghan appeared to have very little contact with the Royals following Phillip's death. It seemed as though his visit to the UK for the funeral had not been a pleasant one. For this reason, fans were left wondering when and if he would return home again in the near future. After all, he did have a baby on the way, and surrounded by a tense atmosphere was no way to raise a child.

The Public Eye

After Meghan gave birth to Princess Lilibet, the couple took a few weeks to rest and recover before sharing the news with the world. The pair have always tried to shield their children from the media as much as they possibly could, but being Royals, they are required to give a certain amount of leeway.

So, after a short break, the news of Lilibet's arrival made headlines around the globe. The public was delighted, and even though the couple had already stepped back from their royal duties, the royal family still released a statement congratulating them.

Unfortunately, tensions were high between Harry and the rest of his family. They had not yet forgiven him for stepping away from his duties. Because of this, the public was intrigued to see how the Queen would respond to the birth of Lilibet.

Would she simply ignore the announcement? Instead, the Queen, followed by Prince Charles and Camilla, released a public statement expressing their satisfaction with the birth of the newest addition to the Royal Family.

The Meaning Behind a Name

Even though there was some tension between the family members, everybody assumed that the Queen was delighted with the newest arrival. This was mostly due to the fact that Lilibet was even named after her.

In a joint statement, Harry and Meghan confirmed that their daughter was named after the Queen. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her late grandmother, the Princess of Wales.
