Meghan Markle may have been the first to publish a photo of baby Lilibet.

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on June 4 in Santa Barbara, California (opens in new tab). Now it appears that Meghan Markle has shared the first photo of Lilibet as part of her 40th birthday video (opens in new tab).

Page Six (opens in new tab) has confirmed that the middle photo in the trio is in fact a photo of Lilibet, with her father, Prince Harry, leaning in to kiss her. The photo can be seen at the beginning of Markle's birthday video when the Duchess begins a video call with actress Melissa McCarthy. The adorable (albeit blurry) photo also shows the Sussexes' 2-year-old son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

The little girl, Lilibet, was named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana.

The family currently lives in Montecito, California, where Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, reportedly helps raise her daughter and her husband. The couple moved to the United States with Archie after he made the controversial decision (open in new tab) to back out of his royal duties, which he told Oprah Winfrey (open in new tab) was causing him undue stress. In that much-discussed interview (open in new tab), the couple condemned the racist behavior of senior royals, and Markle revealed that their lives had taken a dramatic toll on her mental health.

Since leaving the UK, the Sussexes have not only been able to focus on their family life (opens in new tab), but have also secured major business deals with Netflix (opens in new tab) and Penguin Random House (opens in new tab) and have been able to use Archewell's platform to promote philanthropy (opens in new tab).
