It might be Meghan Markle‘s birthday, but she is said to have a big surprise for her fans — the first picture of her newborn daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
On Wednesday, Meghan Markle, with her family and a small group of friends, will celebrate her 40th birthday in her California mansion.
Several sources claimed that the former actress is planning a low-key affair due to the restrictions put in place because of the coronavirus.
Prince Harry and his wife have been on a media hiatus after deciding to take a 20-week parental break after the birth of Lili Diana.
However, multiple royal experts predict that Meghan Markle will return to the media to share a picture with her baby girl on her special day.
Aware that the world is eager to get the first glimpse of Lilibet, who is eighth in line to the British throne, it is claimed that Prince Harry will post a perfect family photo that also includes his son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
While the power couple shared the first photo of Archie when he was six weeks old, no one has gotten a glimpse of baby Lili Diana who is now two months old.
Royal experts have revealed that the parents will provide an updated family photo on Meghan Markle’s birthday.
Royal commentator Phil Dampier told The Sun: “I think it’s likely we will see a picture of the family. It won’t surprise me if Meghan does release a pic of her with Lilibet to mark her 40th birthday, as they will want to emphasise what a happy family unit they are. And it will be interesting to see what messages she gets from the royals – I suspect they will post messages, even though in private they are very upset about was has happened.”
But another royal author has warned Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that sharing a photo of their baby girl would be seen as bad taste because it could appear that they are pushing their brand and media empire.
Richard Fitzwilliams, another royal expert, told The Sun: “The Sussexes are very unpredictable, but I think she will mark her 40th with something like a photo of Lili. But he warned that should that happen, it “would be slightly in bad taste, as it would be seen as helping to promote the Sussexes’ brand I can’t see this milestone passing without us seeing something of interest in the media.”
Fitzwilliams went on to say: “I would expect something online, as they are very savvy about online posting, and their brand has a great many fans, and Meghan’s 40th is a very big milestone. I would say they would do something to play to their substantial number of fans and be of worldwide interest; hence the conclusion we would see photos of Lili – I don’t know. Royal fans have been wanting to see a photo of her for some time.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to bring Lili Diana to England to attend The Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
