Princess Lilibet joins baby playdate in photos from Sussex UK visit
Princess Lilibet is playing in a pink dress alongside a baby friend in new holiday photos from Britain.
Kelly McKee Zajfen, 41, shared an Instagram image carousel — a set of photos followers swipe through — after visiting Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, at their new home in the UK HELLO!. The trip took place in September 2026, and the photos were published on 23 September 2026 PEOPLE. It is an informal family album, not an official release.
Zajfen is described as Meghan’s best friend. The 41-year-old travelled to Britain with her infant son, Jack Oliver, who is six months old. She was the first of Meghan’s California friends to visit after Meghan and Prince Harry moved their family. That detail matters because the Sussexes now live largely out of the public eye, so first visits draw attention.
The heart of the carousel is playtime. Princess Lilibet, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, wears a pink princess-style dress as she sits with Zajfen and baby Jack. Jack grips a small squeaky giraffe toy as Lilibet plays beside him. Zajfen appears in the same image with the two children, close in and smiling. The tone is relaxed and domestic.
The carousel keeps going from there. In one photo, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, aged 44, entertains baby Jack while seated at a pub table. The setting is plain and everyday, a break from staged royal photography. In another photo, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, aged 42, is down on the floor inside a home playing with Jack. Both images show the hosts in hands-on, parental mode.
Lilibet’s full name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. She is the second child of Prince Harry and Meghan, which makes her the younger of their two children. Her older sibling is Prince Archie, the couple’s first child and Lilibet’s big brother. For readers meeting the family for the first time, that is the line-up: Archie first, Lilibet second.
For fans, this means a quick hello rather than a formal portrait. No palace backdrop. No stiff poses. Just floor play, a toy giraffe that squeaks, a pub table, and time spent with close family friends.
