Last year, the couple cut financial ties with the royal family. They signed a string of lucrative deals, including with the streaming giant Netflix, and Apple TV+

Earlier this year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made the waves as they accused an unnamed senior member of the royal family of racism, during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, today revealed the first public image of their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. The touching family portrait features the couple alongside their two children, with Meghan lovingly holding six-month-old Lilibet, while their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor stands by their side.

In their holiday card, the couple expressed their joy at the addition to their family, saying, “This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa,’ and Lili made us a family.”

Since stepping back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in 2020, Meghan, 40, and Prince Harry, 37, have resided in California. The decision to step down also marked their financial independence from the royal family. In the past year, the couple secured several high-profile deals, including partnerships with streaming platforms such as Netflix and Apple TV+, which have contributed to their new life outside the monarchy.

Earlier in 2021, the Duke and Duchess made global headlines during their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they spoke candidly about their experience within the royal family. Notably, the couple alleged that an unnamed senior royal had made racist remarks concerning the potential skin color of their first child, Archie, which sparked widespread discussions on race and the British royal family.

Despite the controversies and their departure from royal duties, Harry and Meghan remain committed to raising their children away from the spotlight of the British monarchy while pursuing their own charitable and professional endeavors. The release of their family portrait serves as a heartwarming reminder of their focus on family as they continue building their lives in the U.S.
