“A royal rebel on the 4th of July?” 👑 Prince Harry skipped the coronation — but showed up in Montecito with little Lilibeth in tow 🎇🍼 Fans couldn’t get over her red hair and sweet dress! See the rare family photos in the article below 👇
On Independence Day, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from royal engagements to celebrate the holiday in Montecito with their young family. This move underlines their decision to lead independent lives, separate from the ongoing activities of the British royal family. Notably, Prince Harry has distanced himself from his father and brother, even choosing not to attend the recent coronation of King Charles III.
The family’s presence at the Independence Day celebration was a relaxed affair, though Prince Harry, holding his daughter Lilibeth, inadvertently drew the paparazzi’s attention. Lilibeth, growing up fast, was dressed delightfully in a light, floral-printed dress paired with colorful socks and neat shoes. Her hair was styled into two cute ponytails, showing off the red hair she inherited from her father, while her facial features remind many of her mother, Meghan.
Despite the public interest, Meghan and their son Archie managed to enjoy the day out of the spotlight. Following King Charles’ rise to the throne, both Archie and Lilibeth have been officially recognized with the titles of prince and princess, a nod to their lineage despite the family’s step back from royal duties.
The family’s celebration in Montecito signifies their commitment to their new life in the U.S., marking national milestones with the local community while maintaining their privacy and autonomy from royal traditions.
