Lilibet's auburn hair is the same as her brother Archie's The photograph marks one of the only glimpses of Lilibet Diana's hair the public has seen, although the Sussexes did release a picture to celebrate her first birthday.
In the portrait taken by the pair's favorite photographer, Misan Harriman, Lilibet — whose nickname is Lili — seems to favor her father. She had his red hair and blue eyes, pitcured as she sat on the lawn of Windsor, England's Frogmore Cottage in an adorable blue dress and headband with a matching bow.
Since her birth in 2021, only a few photos have been seen, but from a young age, it was obvious Lilibet is a natural redhead. Her older brother Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, Prince Archie of Sussex also takes after their father when it comes to vibrant hair color.
Prince Harry reveals that his daughter, Lilibet, has the 'same blue eyes' as Princess Diana, and the little one's godfather is revealed in the latest episode of the Netflix docuseries.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle treated the world to a new photo of the birthday girl, our first real glimpse since she was six months old—and it's clear that their little girl has inherited her dad's signature red hair, just like her three-year-old brother Archie.
She wears a powder blue dress, a bow over her full head of red hair and has a redhead trait: the blondest of eyebrows. Meghan and Hary's first child Archie also has red hair, so many people were wondering if Lilibet also inherited her dad's genes.
We couldn't help but notice the similarities between Lilibet and her dad Harry with that full head of beautiful red hair, also like her brother Archie's locks. Lying beside Lilibet is her American cousin Ashleigh Hale, who is Duchess Meghan's niece.
Lilibet is a member of the British royal family and has mixed-race ancestry, having African and European maternal lineage.
Hilaria Baldwin had a double rainbow baby with the birth of their fifth child after two miscarriages, And Meghan Markle became a royal rainbow mom with the birth of Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor.
Kate Middleton has hazel-green colour eyes, and dark brown hair, while Prince William has fair hair and blue eyes, and it seems each child takes after them in different ways... Prince George has dark brown eyes, which he appears to have inherited from the Middleton side of the family.
Besides, Harry is not the only redhead in his family. His cousin, Princess Beatrice, also has red hair. Her parents are Charles' brother, the Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson. Other members of the royal family have also historically had red hair, including King George V, who was Queen Elizabeth II's grandfather.
Hair colorist Kadi Lee of Highbrow Hippie took to Instagram to detail how she perfected Meghan's "warm and rich brunette" shade.
Sharing her own experiences, she replied: "Hold on a second, no! My hair is so curly and it's so thick. I just remember as a child, because my mum's black, and so my grandma Jeanette would do my hair. She'd go, 'Just hold onto the sink,' and I would grip my little hands on both sides.
Like her father and paternal grandparents, Princess Lilibet appears to have blue eyes. And this has been highlighted by her parents Prince Harry, 38 and Meghan Markle, 41.
The Princess of Wales has luscious brunette tresses which cascade over her shoulders and down her back. Her hair is often worn straight, in bouncy waves, tucked behind her ears or pulled into a loose chignon.
She's a natural ginger
Like her mum, Sarah, Duchess of York (the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, Duke of York), Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice is a natural redhead.
When describing one-year-old Lilibet's physical features he says she has "the same blue eyes" as his mother, "Blue, blue, blue eyes," Meghan interjects, and "sort of like a golden, red-ish hair," Harry adds.
At the time of the late Queen's death and the King's accession, a spokesman for the King pledged to update Archie and Lilibet's names on the site “as and when we get information”. The christening took place privately at the Sussexes' home in California.
In an interview with The Cut, the Duchess of Sussex opened up about the decision to not share photos of her children, explaining that it makes her a “strong and good parent".
Lili has only had one formal portrait released, which came in honor of her first birthday in June 2022. It was taken at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor by Meghan's favorite photographer Misan Harriman when the family visited England for the late Queen Elizabeth II's platinum Jubilee.
Lilibet was baptized by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev. John Taylor, Harry and Meghan said in a statement at the time. The christening announcement marked the first time the Sussexes publicly called their daughter a princess, revealing that they would use royal titles for their children.
Although they were well off by ordinary standards, Forbes last year pegged their net worth at a fairly modest $10 million, including the remains of Harry's inheritance from his mother, Princess Diana, and the equity the pair have in their California mansion.
The Duchess of Sussex rocked silky auburn locks
That's right, before she embraced her natural roots and returned to the dark side, Duchess Meghan experimented with her hair colour, spicing it up with an auburn dye job. Back in May 2012, the duchess-to-be was spotted rocking a full head of radiant red hair.
If both parents passed on a ginger 'infected' hair colour chromosome, the child would be ginger. If one parent passed on a non-ginger chromosome, and the other a ginger chromsome, the child would be non-ginger, since everything other than ginger is dominant over ginger. Ginger is a recessive trait.
Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death in 1603.
