Lilibet, 3, Has Officially Entered Her ‘Princess Phase’

A friend made the comment while defending Meghan’s new show

Princess Lilibet has been going through a “princess phase,” according to the chef Adrian Lipscombe, who is an acquaintance of her mom, Meghan Markle. Lipscombe made the comments on Instagram while defending Meghan’s new show, With Love, Meghan, after an Eater article criticized the series before it has been released. Recalling meeting Meghan, she wrote: “We talked about our families (mostly about our daughters being in their princess phase and the movies they love) and, of course, about food.” Lipscombe called on Eater to retract the piece, saying: “Let’s talk about the bigger picture here—where are the Black female-led shows and roles in the food world? Representation is already so scarce, and now, a show that has the potential to spotlight food, culture, and storytelling is being torn apart before it even has a chance. This isn’t just about Meghan Markle. It’s about a systemic issue in media and entertainment that continues to dismiss or belittle efforts by women, especially women of color, to create something meaningful.”
