LILIBET'S SECRET TRIP TO THE PALACE

It will be a historic moment for the young royal

At just six months old, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor has no idea she’s been born into a royal family.

Her first words and steps will most likely occur in laidback Santa Barbara, California – a whole world away from castles, thrones and tiaras.

But that’s not to say her dad, Prince Harry, isn’t keen to take his baby girl home so she can learn about her heritage as soon as possible, with some insiders speculating the Sussexes may even put their tensions with the royals aside and make a flying visit to the UK at Christmas.

“Things are going great with Harry at home, thanks to his adorable kids,” says a source. “He’s smitten with Lili and dotes on her. “It’s been very strange for him to come to the realisation he has an American daughter, who will grow up with an accent. It’s got him thinking about what parts of his own heritage he wants to impress on her from a young age.”
