Princess Lilibet Diana has made only a handful of public appearances. Her first was in a Christmas 2021 portrait taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski when she was six months old. The next came in June 2022, during her first birthday celebration at Frogmore Cottage. Later that year, she briefly appeared in Harry & Meghan, the Netflix documentary about her parents.
