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.

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.”

 A Name Rooted in Family History

Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born in June 2021. Her name is a tribute to both sides of Prince Harry’s royal family.

• “Lilibet” was the cherished childhood nickname of Queen Elizabeth II, Harry’s grandmother.

• Her middle name, “Diana,” honors his late mother, Princess Diana, whose legacy continues to shape both Harry’s personal life and charitable work.
