Prince Harry and Meghan share first photo of baby Lilibet saying: 'She made us a family'

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released the first picture of their daughter Lilibet, with Meghan holding her up in an image on their "family holiday" card.

The photo, which also shows Harry with Archie on his knee, was taken by Alexi Lubomirski this summer at the couple's home in Santa Barbara, California.

The message on the card reads: "This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us a 'Mama' and a 'Papa', and Lili made us a family.

"As we look forward to 2022, we have made donations on your behalf to several organizations that honor and protect families - from those being relocated from Afghanistan, to American families in need of paid parental leave: Team Rubicon, Welcome.US, Human First Coalition, Humanity Crew & Paid Leave For All, PL+US, Marshall Plan for Moms.

"Wishing you a happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year, from our family to yours! As ever, Harry, Meghan, Archie & Lili".

Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor was born on June 4, 2021 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

She is the 11th great-grandchild of the Queen and is eighth in line of succession to the British throne.

While she was born in June, this is the first picture the Sussex's have released of her.
