Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor celebrated her first birthday in fashion! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter may have received plenty of virtual well-wishes on her big day on Saturday from royal family members such as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William and Kate Middleton, but she also got to enjoy a fun, family-filled day meeting many of her relatives for the first time!

Details of Lilibet’s birthday bash are now coming to light, and it sounds like it was a lovely gathering for Harry and Meghan to reconnect with those they left behind when moving to California in 2020.

According to The Sun, the proud parents hosted an informal garden party at Windsor Castle’s Frogmore Cottage, complete with picnic-style snacks, a birthday cake, balloons, and games for the kids to play.

While the guest list, unfortunately, didn’t include William and Kate’s family as they were away in Wales helping with preparations for a concert at Cardiff Castle amid the monarch’s Platinum Jubilee, many other royals were expected to attend the party. Zara and Mike Tindall‘s children Mia, 8, Lena, 3, and Lucas, 1, were said to be there. Peter Phillips and his ex-wife Autumn Kelly‘s kiddos Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, were also going to make an appearance as well!

Archie’s godfather Charlie Van Straubenzee and his brother Tom Van Straubenzee, Princess Charlotte’s godfather, were also planning to attend.
