Prince Harry, Meghan's Daughter Lilibet Has Distinct 'Thomas Markle Nose' in Valentine's Day Photo
A look into the Sussexes' cautious approach to sharing their children's photos

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are very loving towards their two children, Archie and Lilibet. However, the former royal couple seems to have a different approach when it comes to sharing photos of their two kids. Following Archie's birth, Harry and Meghan immediately shared his first photos with the press. But they did not do the same thing after Lilibet was born.
It was only when Lilibet celebrated her first birthday that they shared a photo of her looking straight into the camera. Meghan also shares photos of Archie and Lilibet on her Instagram account frequently. But most often than not, she covers her daughter's face and only shows certain parts of her body. As for Archie, the former Duchess of Sussex seems to have more flexibility in showing his face to the world. But everything changed on Valentine's Day.
A Valentine's Day Treat
To commemorate the special occasion, Markle shared a sweet photo of Prince Harry carrying their daughter in his arms. The snap also shows Lilibet with several red balloons tied to her wrist. For the first time ever, the Suits alum showed Lilibet's face to the entire world. Even though all her facial features are not shown fully, half of her face can be seen clearly.
Eagle-eyed royal fans couldn't help but comment on Lilibet's looks. One of them said that the youngster inherited her grandfather Thomas Markle's distinct nose. The so-called Markle nose is not very pointed and appears to be round and a bit high at its tip.

Who Resembles Who?
It cannot be denied how much Lilibet resembles her dad, Prince Harry. The father and daughter duo also share the same hair colour. Prince Harry has been referred to as a ginger because of his reddish locks. Archie, on the other hand, has dark hair that looks similar to his mother. Whilst both children inherited a mix of their parents' looks, it is safe to say that Archie looks more like Markle and Lilibet looks more like Prince Harry.
Years ago, Prince Harry talked about his children's appearance and said that he sees a lot of his wife in Archie, and he also sees a lot of his mum, Princess Diana, in Lilibet. He said that Lilibet was very Spencer-like because she has blue eyes and reddish hair. Unfortunately, the colour of Lilibet's eyes cannot be seen in the Valentine's Day photo that Markle uploaded on Instagram.
Safety and Security Concerns
Prince Harry and Markle's pal previously revealed why the couple rarely shares photos of their children online. In fact, Archie and Lilibet were rarely shown in Markle's lifestyle shows on Netflix. The insider told US Weekly that this is primarily due to safety and security concerns. Unlike Prince William and Kate Middleton's children, the Sussexes do not have a security detail everywhere they go.
'William's kids, for example, have way more safety, even though they're recognizable. And the same doesn't apply to Meghan and Harry's children. They know the world wants to see [them but] I would expect them to live smaller lives until that gets sorted, if it ever does,' the source said.
Seeing half of Lilibet's face in the photo that Markle uploaded online is already a huge step for her and Prince Harry.
