Holly Willoughby comments on 'gorgeous' snap of Harry and Meghan's Lilibet as fans make same joke

Holly Willoughby shared her thoughts after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared a new image of their daughter, Lilibet. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released the photo on Monday evening (June 6) following their appearance in the UK during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

But the couple had their own occasion to mark as Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor turned one on Saturday 4 June and celebrated her special day in the UK.

The adorable picture of Harry and Meghan's daughter, known as Lili, was taken by photographer and friend of the couple Misan Harriman, at a birthday picnic thrown for her at Frogmore Cottage on Saturday while Harry's brother William and dad Charles attended official Jubilee events.

The youngster was captured smiling as she sat on the grass while dressed in a pale blue dress with a white bow in her hair. And it is no surprise the sweet snap was the topic of conversation on Tuesday, including on This Morning.

Holly, 41, was keen to discuss the photo on the ITV daytime show as she and Phillip Schofield discussed the latest news headline in the 'This Morning's View' segment. "Let's look at something rather lovely and gorgeous because last night Harry and Meghan released a photo of their daughter Lilibet as she celebrated her first birthday in the grounds of Frogmore Cottage at Windsor on Saturday," the mum-of-three said.

"It was described as an intimate backyard picnic with friends and family of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and there she is!" Holly added as the photo flashed up on the screen. Of course, this isn't the first photo, we did see a that lovely kind of profile shot of her as a tiny, weeny baby but there she is, little girl, one-years-old in the garden."

"A rare glimpse," guest Matthew Wright commented before bringing up surrounding rumours around whether the Queen refused to have a picture of her meeting her great-granddaughter for the first time.

However, the picture has got everyone talking and making the same joke thanks to her likeness to her father. @Lande007 tweeted: "Prince Harry cloned himself. Happy birthday, #LilibetDiana." @Come_Oon_Man said: "Welp, there’s no denying that Prince Harry is definitely the Blueprint. Happy Birthday! #Lilibet."

@Pearl2Pea wrote: "#PrinceHarry just said copy and paste to #Lilibet Happy birthday munchkins." @darleneturner53 shared: "She is Prince Harry with a dress on so adorable his twin! #lilibet."
