Prince Harry’s one-year-old daughter Lilibet has inherited his trademark ginger locks, a new interview has confirmed.
In a profile of Lilibet’s mother Meghan Markle, the couple’s second child appears with her nanny and is described as ‘small and also ginger’ – taking after her father and three-year-old brother, Archie.
Giving a glimpse into her daily life for an interview with The Cut, the Duchess of Sussex opened up her home to the magazine.

Towards the end of the day, Lilibet emerged with her nanny and was ‘unsmiling with watchful bright-blue eyes’ before her father Harry, 37, started beatboxing to cheer her up and the family joined in to dance.
The couple’s daughter, who was born in June 2021, met many of her royal relatives, including the Queen, for the first time in June of this year when the Duke and Duchess returned to the UK for Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The interview followed Meghan, 41, during a typical day in her life – which includes doing the school run for Archie, who is attending pre-school.
She told the magazine how she is teaching her eldest son about the importance of saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’.
‘We always tell him: “Manners make the man. Manners, manners, manners, manners, manners”.’ Meghan said.
As Lilibet begins to bear a striking resemblance to her father, the interview notes how different Prince Harry’s life has become since moving to their new home in Montecito, California.

From popping over to their friend Victoria Jackson’s house to fix her sprinkler to attending birthday parties for Archie’s classmates, his daily routine appears to be a world away from his old life as a senior member of the Royal Family.
The couple also revealed how they run their Archewell Foundation from their home office, often working side-by-side.
Harry said: ‘Most people that I know and many of my family, they aren’t able to work and live together.’
But he added that, to him, it felt ‘natural and normal’.
As part of their charity work, Harry and Meghan will be visiting the UK and Germany next month – but according to a royal expert, it is unlikely they will extend their trip to see the Queen.
Phil Dampier told MailOnline today that he would be ‘very surprised’ if the Sussexes visit the Queen at Balmoral, where she is likely to remain for the next few weeks as concerns grow over her mobility issues.
He added that there is little ‘goodwill on both sides’ and that the royals will be ‘wary’ of Harry amid what could be in his book. Mr Dampier also said that a ‘visit to Scotland would create awkward family tensions for everyone’.
Mr Dampier also warned the ‘family rift is getting worse, not better’.
Elsewhere in the interview Meghan told The Cut – which is part of New York magazine – that she and Harry were not ‘reinventing the wheel’ when they asked for financial freedom, before eventually deciding to step down as senior members of the Royal Family in early 2020.
The interview reported that 41-year-old Meghan listed a ‘handful of princes and princesses and dukes who have the very arrangement they wanted’, although none of these royals are named in the article.
