Lilibet sported a white bow in her auburn hair to complement her cute look. The accessory was a classic cream bow featuring delicate lace ribbon from independent brand Village Baby – which has been selling out rapidly thanks to Duchess Meghan’s impeccable taste.

Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, the brand said: “We were so excited and astonished to see the cute bow on Lili. It looks great and is one of our most popular styles... We are so happy to see our small business supported and praised by so many who love our products. This moment has been very big for our small company."

They continued: “We are big fans of the royal family and love staying up to date on all things about them. It is truly an honor to be associated with them, particularly as the tastemakers and style icons that they are. We were completely surprised and delighted to see the bow on Lili and we hope to see her in it again!”

Lilibet looked adorable in the lace bow

The bow is hand-made in Utah and with its delicate design, we’re not surprised that the brand has seen an increase in orders of the pretty accessory.

Duchess Meghan is a big fan of supporting small, independent brands with meaningful backstories, and Village Baby - owned by mothers Meggie, Kelli, and Alexis, who have eight children between them - is no exception.

The ladies explained: "Our brand reflects our attitude that it takes a village to raise a baby and mothers should work together to support one another. We were inspired to start our own brand after each having kids and searching for baby products we could trust to be amazing and affordable at the same time."
