Lilibet's auburn hair is the same as her brother Archie's Lilibet certainly has adorable auburn locks!
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.
Taken by Misan Harriman, it shows Lilibet smiling on the grounds of the Sussexes' home, Frogmore Cottage, during her birthday party. She wears a powder blue dress and a bow over her full head of red hair.
Lilibet is a member of the British royal family and has mixed-race ancestry, having African and European maternal lineage. She has dual citizenship of the United States and the United Kingdom. In December 2021, the first photograph of Lilibet was released to the public as a Christmas card from her parents.
In most lighting situations, Markle's hair appears to be the deep, mahogany brunette she's stuck to for years. But when she steps into direct sunlight outside, the subtle red undertones are illuminated and much more vibrant.

It has also been pointed out that, in the Spencer family on Diana's side, the red hair gene is common. Her brother, Earl Spencer, and sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, are both redheads. Besides, Harry is not the only redhead in his family. His cousin, Princess Beatrice, also has red hair.
Yes, she has always been a brunette with enviably thick hair, but the Princess showed off a richer, deeper colour for the event, an important moment for her as she unveiled a personal project to the world.
Others felt just as strongly that Princess Charlotte's hair wasn't dyed. "This is her hair natural hair," another shared, "pretty lady." "Her hair has been ombre ever since she was about 3, just look up at her photos especially ones where she's outdoor/under the sun," another avid Royal fan shared.
But it seems as though there's a genuine reason for the Duchess's style choice. It turns out Kate Middleton has a large scar on her hair line, on the left side of her head. This scar has only ever been photographed once in the media, in 2011 when her hair was pulled back from her face.
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. Her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, appeared to have red hair at her wedding, but that's because she dyed it shortly before the big day.
Non-redhead, no gene
In fact, her freckles are a heavy indication of carrying the gene, and both Archie and Lilibet's hair colour has confirmed this. This is due to the fact that red hair is recessive, so both parents must carry the gene for it to be possible to have ginger offspring.
It's a little-known fact that all three of Princess Diana's siblings — Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Charles, 9th Earl Spencer — have naturally red hair.
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.
It's all in the eyes
Harry points out that Lili is the only grandchild in the family to have inherited Diana's blue eyes — what a special feature for the two of them to share. "She's very Spencer-like," he says in one of the episodes.
Since the family's departure from the UK in 2020, we have rarely seen the two children and unsurprisingly Lilibet is a spitting image of her father with ginger tendrils and blue eyes.
“Nearly one in 10 (nine percent) of respondents in Lenstore's survey found Prince William's eyes the most attractive.
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.
In short, while Diana's blood may run blue, even purple, scarlet women and black sheep have added to its color…
We can be almost completely certain that her hair was a golden red, her eyes dark brown, her nose ridged or hooked in the middle, her lips rather thin, and her cheek bones pronounced. Her hair was also probably naturally curly or at least wavy.
Baby Lili is one! 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.
Harry, whose son, Archie, 3, and daughter, Lilibet, 1, both have red hair, noted, “I was wrong.”
The same, then, can be said of Meghan. Because MCR1 is recessive, if both parents carry the gene, just one in four of their children are likely to turn out to be a redhead. But the key is that both parents must be carrying the gene.
If there's one person we should all be taking hair inspiration from, it's the royal highness herself – and no, while she is a Queen, I don't mean Beyoncé. Instead, The Princess of Wales stepped out just yesterday with a newly dyed hair look and we're crowning it (see what I did there) the colour of the season.
“Kate's grey hairs are probably caused by a hormonal change, which happens to a lot of people after they get pregnant,” stylist Alexandra Zdrazkova told the site. “She only has a few gray hairs and they could be covered easily by a tint.” Or it could just as easily not be covered by a tint.
