This photograph was taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski. The couple and their son are seen dressed in a pair of jeans. Meghan, 39, has a black sweatshirt on while Harry, 36, is dressed in a blue shirt, while their son Archie, 2, is rocking a white shirt. Matching her brother's outfit, Lili is seen wearing a white dress. The Sussexes wrote a loving message on the card saying, "This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa,’ and Lili made us a family."
The photographer posted this image on his Instagram and said, "This is one of those rare and special projects, that one is fortunate enough to be a part of. To be able to continue the story of this family whom I first photographed as an engaged couple, then on the day of their wedding, as a married couple and now seeing their love manifest into two beautiful children, has been a delightful honour. Anyone who has seen my #AllLoveSeries, will know that one of the greatest joys I receive from photography, is when I am able to photograph "love" in some form or another. To be trusted by your subjects enough, to open themselves up and have their connection documented and translated into an image, is one of the greatest gifts a photographer can have. This day with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was one such joyous experience, and one that I feel extremely privileged to have been invited to capture. X"
Meghan and Harry, had lots to say about Lili in their statement that read: "She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe." Their daughter is named in honor of Prince Harry's paternal grandmother whose name was Queen Elizabeth II, whose nickname is Lilibet, and also Harry's late mother, Princess Diana.
