Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue to honor family traditions with heartfelt touches, as seen in Meghan’s recent birthday tribute to their daughter, Princess Lilibet. On June 4th, Meghan posted a touching throwback photo on Instagram, revealing a special keepsake used to introduce their son, Archie, to the world.
In the black-and-white image, Meghan cradles baby Lilibet, who is wrapped snugly in the same luxurious $312 merino wool blanket made by G.H. Hurt & Son that Archie wore during his 2019 debut at Windsor Castle. This brand has been a favorite of royal families, supplying baby blankets since 1948, symbolizing a blend of luxury and timeless tradition.
The Instagram post celebrated Lilibet’s birthday with a heartfelt message: “Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it.” The image not only captured a precious moment but also subtly referenced Archie’s own introduction, when the Sussexes chose a private debut at St. George’s Hall instead of the usual hospital announcement.
By reusing the iconic blanket, Meghan and Harry emphasize their love for meaningful family heirlooms and their desire to create lasting memories for their children. This sentimental gesture highlights the couple’s approach to parenting and their connection to royal traditions, even as they carve their own path away from the spotlight.
Fans and royal watchers alike have admired the thoughtful nod to the past, showing that in the Sussex family, cherished moments and treasured items are passed down with love and pride.
