Meghan Markle Celebrates Princess Lilibet’s Birthday With Rare Family Photos

Meghan Markle marked Princess Lilibet’s fifth birthday on June 4 with a social media post that offered a rare, carefully selected glimpse into her family life in Montecito.

The Instagram post was captioned, “Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili,” followed by a white heart emoji, and featured two previously unseen photographs.

In the first image, Prince Harry is seen holding Lilibet while Meghan stands close by, watching the moment unfold. The second image shows Lilibet standing barefoot in a garden at the family’s home, dressed in a light summer outfit as she interacts with flowers.

Lilibet Diana was born on June 4, 2021, in Santa Barbara, California. She is the younger child of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and the sister of Prince Archie. Her name carries personal family significance, referencing Queen Elizabeth II’s childhood nickname “Lilibet” and honouring Princess Diana through her middle name.

The birthday post follows the couple’s established approach to sharing their children’s milestones, with images chosen selectively and full public appearances avoided. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to California, Meghan and Harry have maintained a private family life in Montecito, sharing only occasional updates that mark birthdays and notable family occasions.
