No photo of Lilibet and parental leave for Harry and Meghan
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced the birth of their first daughter themselves, unlike their son, Archie, born in 2019, whose announcement was made by Buckingham. In the process, it was clarified that there would be no pictures of Lilibet Diana planned soon. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have also announced that they are taking parental leave.
Harry and Meghan do not plan to share a photo of Lilibet at the moment
On June 4, 2021, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed little Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. It was on June 6 that the parents revealed his birth by posting a statement on their Archewell Foundation website. About 90 minutes later, Buckingham responded by congratulating Harry and Meghan. Congratulations were also sent by spokespersons for the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge.
No longer benefiting from official channels of communication since they decided to give up their royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex communicate regularly through a relative, the author of their biography, Omid Scobie. On Twitter, the young man clarified that "the couple will not be sharing a photo at this time."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex take parental leave
All those who hope to see Lili Diana's face will have to wait a little longer. When Archie was born, an official photoshoot was organized by the Palace a few days after his birth. Far from London, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can now organize the presentation of their daughter Lilibet as they see fit.
In the process, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle indicated on the website that they have decided to take parental leave. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex usually work for Archewell, their foundation and production company. To congratulate the couple on the birth of their daughter, they are asked not to send gifts but rather to support one of the associations that are dear to the couple. Girls Inc., Harvest Home, CAMFED or Myna Mahila Foundation are the associations cited by the couple.
