Claim 4: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared two new photos of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, as they celebrate her fifth birthday”
DISPUTED
The claim states Princess Lilibet is celebrating her fifth birthday. However, Wikipedia evidence shows Princess Lilibet was born on June 4, 2021. As of the current live evidence date (which mentions events in 2025/2026), she would be 3 or 4 years old, not 5. Furthermore, the provided evidence for this claim consists of general biographies of Prince Harry, Meghan, and the musician Prince, with no mention of new photos or a fifth birthday celebration.
