Royal enthusiasts are abuzz with admiration for Princess Lilibet’s striking red hair, which her mother, Meghan Markle, prominently displayed in a Thanksgiving-themed video.
The young princess, just four years old, seems to have inherited her father Prince Harry’s iconic red locks, a feature he is well-known for.
In preparation for Thanksgiving, Harry and Meghan brought their children, Lilibet and her six-year-old brother, Prince Archie, to a community kitchen in Los Angeles.
Meghan released a video compilation from their visit to Our Big Kitchen, where the family, through the Archewell Foundation, participated in baking cookies, chopping vegetables, and preparing meals for those facing food insecurity in the area.
Lilibet, dressed in a cheerful red tartan dress, was seen assisting her mother in the kitchen.
While her face was kept out of view in the photos, Lilibet’s long red hair—matching her father’s distinctive hue—was showcased in a neat braid beneath her hat.
‘How I love Lili’s hair colour!’ one person wrote on X.

Meghan recently opened up about balancing work and her family life with Prince Harry and their two kids in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar on November 19.
‘My office is right by the kitchen, and I love that I can work from home,” she told the outlet, adding that Lilibet ‘comes and sits on my lap when I’m in the middle of the meeting, whether it’s about P and L for my brand or it’s about something creative’.
‘I hope they see the value of being brave,’ she said of what she hopes her kids take away from seeing her working.
At another point of the interview she said of motherhood: ‘I’m a mom with kids at that age where they are constantly learning something new. I watch them face things that feel completely insurmountable every day.
‘But you can remember and say, ‘I know it seems really hard right now, but trust me, that’s going to come so easily soon.’ I can give myself the same grace as a founder. There’s no such thing as perfect. I, too, get to make mistakes.”
