This revelation comes amidst a surge in popularity of a video featuring Prince Harry, where he warmly shared that his daughter, Princess Lilibet, has eyes resembling those of another family member. The viral moment took place during the couple's Netflix docu-series, "Harry and Meghan," which premiered in December 2022.
The series provides an intimate glimpse into the Sussexes' personal lives, including heartwarming moments with their children. Viewers were treated to adorable clips of Archie dressed in a snowsuit and Harry sharing a laugh with him over a rubber duck.
The documentary also featured footage of Lilibet, dressed in a floral romper as a newborn, playfully crawling in the family garden in Montecito.
In one particularly touching segment, Harry drew parallels between his daughter and his late mother, Princess Diana, saying, "I think at the moment I see a lot of my wife and Archie, and I see a lot of my mom in Princess Diana and Lily. She's very Spencer-like; she's got the same blue eyes." Meghan chimed in, emphasizing that Lilibet indeed possesses remarkably blue eyes and described her as having golden reddish hair.
Lilibet Diana was born on June 4th, 2021, and was named in honor of her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname is "Lilibet," and her late grandmother, Princess Diana.
The question of whether Lilibet actually resembles Diana has generated speculation, as clear imagery of the child has not been widely circulated. Genetics, particularly African genes from Meghan's heritage, could make a strong resemblance to Diana less likely.
However, Samantha Markle's child, who is Meghan's niece, made appearances in the docu-series and raised questions about the family's dynamics. Notably, she suggested that Ashley could be the biological mother of Lilibet due to the striking similarity between the child and Ashley.
Speculation has swirled about Meghan's intentions and actions, with some wondering if this resemblance was premeditated. Samantha Markle, Meghan's half-sister, has repeatedly hinted that Lili is not Meghan's biological daughter and may have been born through a surrogate. In one forum post, a user speculated about Ashley being the egg donor, alleging that Meghan groomed her niece to meet her family's emotional needs, implying manipulative behavior.
It's worth noting that Ashley, who is Samantha Markle's daughter, was not invited to Meghan and Harry's royal wedding in 2018 due to strained family relations and was not on the guest list. However, it appears that the family has since reconnected, with Ashley describing her relationship with Meghan as multi-faceted, including elements of sisterhood and a maternal bond.
