Title: Royal Fans Anticipate First Glimpse of Lilibet Diana as Christmas Card Tradition Sparks Hope

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcomed their second child, Lilibet Diana, in June of this year.

However, the couple has chosen to keep their daughter's photos private, leaving fans eager to catch a glimpse of the newborn baby girl.

While it is customary for royal babies to have their first photo released shortly after birth, Harry and Meghan have deviated from this tradition.

As time passes, though, there are hints that the couple may soon share Lilibet's first photo with the world, and she may not be alone in the picture.

Every year, members of the royal family release Christmas cards that often feature family portraits, including the royal children.

Despite their decision to step back from their royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess have continued to partake in this tradition.

Last year, they unveiled their own Christmas card, featuring a rare photo of themselves with their firstborn, two-year-old Archie.

Now, as Christmas approaches, royal enthusiasts are hopeful that the Sussexes will release a new card for 2021, finally revealing a photo of Lilibet.

The public's curiosity has been piqued as the little girl has yet to be seen in public, despite immense interest.

In other royal news, Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, may be bestowed with a unique title in the future.

As third in line to the throne, and with her parents expected to ascend to the positions of King and Queen, Charlotte's place in the line of succession grants her the potential for a prestigious royal title.

Typically, when members of the royal family marry, they receive a new title from the reigning monarch.

However, Princess Charlotte could be granted an exceptional royal title due to her status as Prince William's only daughter, regardless of her marital status.

As the future daughter of the King, Princess Charlotte may anticipate inheriting a specific royal title that reflects her position.

The title of “Princess Royal” is traditionally bestowed upon the eldest daughter of the British Sovereign.

Originally introduced in the 1600s to mirror the French royal title of Madame Royale, the title must be granted by the monarch themselves and is not automatically given to the King or Queen's eldest daughter.

Currently, the Princess Royal title is held by Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

Prior to Princess Anne, the title was held by Princess Mary, sister of King George VI.

According to Duncan Larcombe, a royal expert and author of “Prince Harry, The Inside Story,” the Princess Royal title is typically conferred upon the eldest daughter of the reigning monarch and remains for life.

Therefore, Princess Charlotte will have to wait until the current Princess Royal passes away before she can potentially receive this prestigious title.

Princess Anne herself had to wait until 1987, 35 years into Queen Elizabeth II's reign, to be granted the title, despite it being vacant since 1965.

In contrast, Lilibet did not receive a royal title at birth.

Nevertheless, she still holds a place in the line of succession for the British throne.

As of July 26, the official Royal Succession website updated Lilibet's position to 8th in line, following her father Harry and older brother Archie, who are currently 6th and 7th in line, respectively.

With Christmas approaching, hopes are high that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will unveil a new Christmas card featuring their daughter Lilibet, offering the world its first glimpse of the little princess.
