This will be Meghan’s first birthday as a mother-of-two.
The former actress and her husband Prince Harry welcomed their second child at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California on June 4 – a baby girl named Lilibet Diana.
The couple named their daughter after Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname is Lilibet, while her middle name pays tribute to Harry’s late mother Princess Diana.
