The Princess of Wales once made a poignant admission when she was asked about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter, Princess Lilibet.

Lilibet’s Birth and Family Circumstances

Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on 4 June 2021 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. Her arrival came just one year after Prince Harry and Meghan stepped away from senior royal roles and settled in the United States.

Following their relocation, the couple participated in a high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they discussed alleged mistreatment—particularly toward Meghan—by both the royal institution and the media.

During the interview, Meghan claimed that an emotional disagreement over bridesmaid dresses had caused her to cry, stating: “A few days before the wedding [Kate] was upset about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry.” She added that Kate later apologised.

Meghan also opened up about her mental health struggles, explaining: “When I joined that family, that was the last time until we came here that I saw my passport, my driver’s licence, my keys, all that gets turned over.” She went on to say her emotional state became so serious that she “didn’t want to be alive any more” and that when she asked for help, she was told it “wouldn’t be good for the institution.”
