Read Time:2 Minute, 27 Second
In a touching tribute to her daughter’s fourth birthday, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, shared rare and intimate family photos of Princess Lilibet, lighting up social media and fans’ hearts around the world.
The black-and-white photo shows Meghan lovingly holding Lilibet on her lap, both sporting windswept hair, suggesting they’re enjoying a private moment aboard a boat. The second image is a tender throwback to 2021, showing Meghan cradling Lilibet as a newborn—capturing a quiet, emotional moment from the day she came into their lives.
“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!” Meghan wrote on Instagram. “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!”
Typically, the Sussexes maintain strict privacy around their children’s appearances, often sharing photos where faces are hidden. However, this latest photo offers a rare glimpse of Lilibet’s top half of her face, a subtle yet meaningful gesture to mark her milestone birthday.
A Growing Bond Between Mother and Daughter
Born on June 4, 2021, just a year after Prince Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties and relocated to the U.S., Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor became a princess when her grandfather, King Charles III, ascended the throne.
Meghan and Harry also share a six-year-old son, Prince Archie, but it’s Lilibet who has been in the spotlight this week. In a recent podcast appearance on Confessions Of A Female Founder, Meghan mused about her dreams of someday launching a business venture with her daughter.
“I wonder if one day I’ll be in business with Lili and we’ll be building something,” she told Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother. Knowles enthusiastically responded, “That’s the best.”
The duchess also gave fans a glimpse into their home life last week by sharing a sweet video clip of herself and Lilibet beekeeping together. Both were dressed in protective suits, with Meghan captioning the moment: “Like mother, like daughter; she’s even wearing my gloves.”
A Royal Name with Deep Meaning
Lilibet’s name is steeped in royal history. She was named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who was affectionately called “Lilibet” by her family as a child. The nickname originated when the young Elizabeth couldn’t pronounce her own name correctly, prompting her grandfather, King George V, to affectionately mimic her.
The legacy of that name lives on in Lilibet Diana, a tribute not only to Queen Elizabeth II but also to Princess Diana, Prince Harry’s beloved late mother.
Conclusion
As Princess Lilibet turns four, Meghan Markle’s heartfelt tribute and rare photo release offer a touching reminder of the Sussex family’s deep bond. Though living away from the traditional royal spotlight, the family continues to share carefully chosen glimpses into their personal lives—each one sparking global affection.
