So, you’ve found yourself wondering, “How old is Princess Lilibet now?”—and honestly, who can blame you? With royal baby updates flying faster than a corgi chasing a squirrel, it’s easy to lose track. Let’s grab a cuppa and sort this out, shall we?

As of right now, little Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is three years old. Yes, that’s right—the youngest daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was born on June 4, 2021, in Santa Barbara, California. That means she’s already a proper little toddler, probably bossing around the chickens at her Montecito home and demanding organic snacks. 3 going on 30, if you ask me. Time flies when you’re busy being a transatlantic royal, right?

Now, here’s where it gets a bit playful. Because Lilibet was named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II (whose family nickname was “Lilibet”), folks can’t help but compare. But unlike the late Queen, who waited decades to throw on a crown, Lili’s still mastering the art of not putting her peas in the DVD player. She’s also got a big brother, Archie, who’s five—so imagine the sibling chaos. Two tiny Windsors, one pool, and a whole lot of giggles.

So when you see headlines asking, “How old is Princess Lilibet now?” just smile and say: “She’s the sweet age of three—and hasn’t even started drama school yet.” (Though, with those parents, we’re placing bets on a late career in Hollywood or polo.)

Here’s the uplifting part: celebrate the little milestones. Lilibet has two loving parents, a sunny California backyard, and a name that honors one of history’s most iconic queens. She’s growing up free, happy, and full of potential. And really, isn’t that the best kind of royalty? So let’s raise a sippy cup to the little princess—may her world always be as bright as her smile. Cheers, Lili. You’ve got this.
