In the third photo, which Markle posted on her personal Instagram account yesterday to celebrate International Women’s Day, you can see an intimate image of a relaxed Prince Harry on a boat as he’s cradling Lilibet in his arms and holding her tight against his chest. “It’s becoming less rare to get a glimpse of Prince Archie or Princess Lilibet now that Meghan has returned to social media,” notes Phillip Mutz, vice president of news and entertainment at PureWow, when he came across the post.
“And yet, this specific photo is super striking for a number of reasons. First of all, it feels extremely personal and intimate. As per usual, the child is facing away from the camera, protecting her identity (at least to a certain degree). But most notable is the body language between the pair. Very obviously Lilibet feels comfortable and safe with her father. They almost look and feel like besties here. Harry’s arm around her and the way she totally leans into his body reveal that he plays the role of protector in her life. And the sweet kiss he places on her head shows just how much he treasures his daughter. They both appear totally at ease, adding to the intimate nature of the snap,” he adds.
