Lili celebrated her first birthday on her first trip to the U.K., where her father and older brother, 3-year-old Archie, were born.

The Sussexes now live in California, where Meghan was raised. The family traveled to the U.K. to attend Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Lili's great-grandmother and namesake, Queen Elizabeth II.

Lili and Archie did not appear publicly while in the U.K. Harry and Meghan attended just one public engagement, joining royal family members at a National Service of Thanksgiving for Elizabeth at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

The church service was the couple's first royal event since they stepped down from their senior royal roles in 2020 and moved out of the U.K.

Prior to Lili's birthday photo, the only public photo of her that had been released was the Sussexes' 2021 Christmas card.

In the photo, the family is smiling as Meghan lifts up Lili and Archie sits on Harry's lap.

The couple’s personal holiday card to family and friends features a new photo by @alexilubo of Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet. “This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world,” they write. “Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa’, and Lili made us a family.” pic.twitter.com/b249OIm1qL

Harry revealed in April that Lili, 10 months old at the time, was learning how to walk.

\"Her current priorities are trying to keep up with her brother; she took her first step just a few days ago!\" Harry told People magazine. \"Proud papa, here.\"
