Princess Lilibet biography

Princess Lilibet is the five-year-old daughter of Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. Raised alongside her seven-year-old brother, Prince Archie, she spent her early childhood growing up in the sunny coastal enclave of Montecito, California, following her parents' decision to step down from official royal duties.

Recent coverage centers on her family's major relocation to the United Kingdom in late August 2026. Following their arrival, Lilibet enrolled in an exclusive British private school, though reports indicate she was withdrawn after just two days due to major traffic gridlock around the campus. She has also appeared in family social media videos during the UK transition.

  • Media coverage surrounding Princess Lilibet focuses heavily on her family's relocation to the United Kingdom and their educational arrangements.
