Meghan Markle Shares New Video and Photos to Celebrate Princess Lilibet’s Birthday
A Personal Glimpse into Family Life with Prince Harry, Lilibet, and Archie
To mark her daughter’s fourth birthday, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, took to Instagram to share a touching tribute filled with never-before-seen photos and a heartfelt message celebrating Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Born in 2021, Lilibet — affectionately known as “Lili” — turned four this June, and her mother honored the milestone with a collection of deeply personal moments from the family’s private life.
Candid Moments from Meghan’s Camera Roll
The post begins with a striking black-and-white image of Meghan lovingly embracing Lilibet on the beach. This is followed by a tender photo of a newborn Lili lying peacefully on her mother’s chest — a snapshot of life’s first quiet moments together.
In the caption, Meghan wrote:
“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives — and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!”
The Duchess later followed up with another carousel of images — this time featuring Prince Harry and Lilibet. One powerful image captures Harry cradling Lili as an infant, gazing into her eyes with fatherly affection. Another shows the two walking hand-in-hand, a serene father-daughter moment that resonated deeply with fans.
“The sweetest bond to watch unfold 💕 Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday, Lili!” Meghan added in the caption.
A Joyful Look Back — Video From the Delivery Room
Adding a personal touch that few public figures share, Meghan also posted a video of herself dancing in the delivery room on the day Lilibet was born. The clip was a joyful reminder of the excitement and emotion surrounding Lili’s arrival.
More Glimpses of Lilibet and Archie
This birthday post is just the latest in a growing collection of intimate family content Meghan has shared over recent months. In April, the Duchess posted a video of herself and Lilibet harvesting honey in matching beekeeper outfits — a wholesome moment that captured attention online.
Later that same month, she posted photos of Lilibet and 6-year-old Archie exploring a rose garden, their fiery red hair shining in the sunlight. These rare peeks into the Sussex family’s life have been embraced warmly by fans around the world.
A Mother’s Vision and Legacy
In February, Meghan relaunched her American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand, rebranded as “As Ever” — using a graceful photo of her and Lilibet walking hand-in-hand through a lush, green meadow.
Wearing a flowing dress, Meghan leads barefoot Lilibet, dressed in white, through the countryside in a visual symbol of maternal love and heritage.
In a later interview with People magazine, Meghan reflected on that image:
“Being able to have my own little girl, as I’ve spent so much of my life championing the rights of girls and women, to now pass that legacy to her — and to be a working mom she can look up to — means everything. This is something I hope becomes part of her own story, too.”
