How Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Celebrated Princess Lilibet’s Third Birthday

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s daughter Princess Lilibet turned three today, and the royal couple decided to celebrate in style—by which I mean they had a cute and low-key party.

According to People, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex threw Lilibet a “pre-birthday bash” with close friends and family over the weekend in Montecito, California. The exact guest list is kiiiiinda unclear, but it seems safe to assume Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, was in attendance. Oh, and P.S. Just wanted to casually point out that Meghan and Harry’s celebrity friends/neighbors include Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres, among others! So, who knows? Maybe they stopped by. 👀

In case ya didn’t know, the royal couple has been committed to raising their children completely out of the spotlight (aside from some truly sweet photos they shared in their Netflix documentary), but Meghan did give a cute update on Princess Lilibet during her and Prince Harry’s recent trip to Nigeria.

While speaking to a group of kindergartners who danced and sang for the Sussexes at Lightway Academy in Abuja, Nigeria, Meghan reportedly said, “That’s Lili’s favorite class.”

She also told a group of older kids (via People), “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.’ 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.”
