It was a day of celebration, a day of freedom, a day of family reunion. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is photographed celebrating July 4 with his lovely daughter, Princess Lilibet, in the quaint town of Montecito, California. The father-daughter duo was seen enjoying the Montecito Association's Village Roadshow, a spectacle that unites communities and vibrantly displays patriotism.
Locals are always eager to catch a glimpse of their royal neighbours, and they photographed this heartwarming scene. Photos published in the Daily Mail show Prince Harry wearing a casual, long-sleeved khaki shirt tucked into dark denim jeans. His army-green baseball cap echoes his military background, a clever camouflage that keeps a low profile during the celebration.
On the other hand, two-year-old Princess Lilibet, whom people affectionately call Lily, is very cute. She wore a sweet blue floral dress with a Peter Pan collar, knee-length white socks and bright red shoes on her feet — a fitting tribute to the colors of the American flag. Her strawberry-colored blonde hair was tied in braids, which seemed to be her favorite hairstyle.
The roadshow is a sight worth seeing. Start at Montecito Union School and follow San Ysidro Road toward the East Valley.
According to the Montecito Daily, the parade included 25 vintage and modern cars driven by community leaders and representatives of local organizations. Lily and Prince Harry watched happily as various novelty cars, Ford Model Ts, local ambulances and fire trucks, all dressed in red, white and blue, paraded through the streets.
The celebration contrasts with the celebration of July 4, 2022, when they and their friends were in Wyoming. The Sussexes were seen watching the parade in Jackson Hole Valley, and one bystander shared photos on Facebook.
Their weekend companion was Heather Dorak, an old friend of theirs and founder of Pilates Platinum, a Pilates studio with multiple locations in Los Angeles. Heather Dorak also writes for Meghan Markle's previous lifestyle blog, The Tig.
July 4, or Independence Day, is a significant day in U.S. history. It commemorates the Declaration of Independence, ratified on July 4, 1776, and marks the birth of the United States as an independent nation, free from the rule of Britain and King George.
In previous years, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, was seen celebrating the holiday by watching her friend Serena Williams play at Wimbledon. In 2019, she was accompanied by two closest college friends, Genevieve Hillis and Lindsay Ross. She also watched Serena Williams' annual tennis tournament on July 4, 2016, just days before her second date with Prince Harry.
In his autobiography, Spare, Prince Harry recalls the unforgettable 4th of July with Meghan Markle. He wrote: "This time I was already there - waiting. With a smile. Be proud of yourself. (Meghan) walked in, wearing a nice white pinstriped blue vest dress. Her face was flushed. I stood up and said, 'I have a gift. 'A pink box. I took it forward. She shook it. 'What is it?' ''Don't, don't, don't shake it! We all laughed. She opens the box. Cake. To be precise, red, white and blue cupcakes. In honor of Independence Day. ”
Prince Harry humorously commented that Britons view Independence Day differently than Americans, and Meghan Markle laughed. Despite their different backgrounds, they have found a way to blend traditions and celebrate their unique heritage.
The celebration on July 4, 2023 is a testament to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's determination to embrace a new life in the United States while cherishing British roots. It's a day of laughter, love, and a sense of community, and Prince Harry and Princess Lilibet will surely remember this day.
