Prince Harry and Meghan Markle release adorable new portrait of Lilibet in celebration of her first birthday

Happy birthday Lilibet!

In honour of the youngster's first birthday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry - who are living in Los Angeles after stepping down as senior British royals - have released a new portrait of the birthday girl.

In the adorable picture, snapped by close family friend Misan Harriman during her birthday party over the weekend, Lilibet can be seen smiling in a pale blue frock while sitting in a grassy field.

A matching blue ribbon headband adorns her fiery red hair - a trait clearly passed on from dad Harry.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well as their three-year-old son Archie, celebrated Lili's first birthday this past weekend while the family of four was in the United Kingdom for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee.

A spokesperson confirmed that the Sussexes invited close friends and family for a casual and intimate backyard picnic held at Frogmore Cottage.

London's Violet Bakery's Claire Ptak, who produced Harry and Meghan's 2018 wedding cake, created a custom cake for the special day.
