Okay, grab your tissues because Meghan Markle just dropped the most heart-melting birthday tribute for her daughter, Princess Lilibet, who turned four on June 4th!
As soon as the clock hit midnight in LA, Meghan shared two never-before-seen black-and-white photos on Instagram, and let me tell you, royal fans are losing it over how sweet this is.
Her caption was pure love: “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!” I mean, can you feel the mom pride?

The pics are just as touching—one’s Meghan cuddling Lilibet on a boat, kinda shielding her face like the protective mama she is, and the other is baby Lilibet all swaddled up as a newborn, snuggled against Meghan’s chest. It’s giving all the feels!
A Rare Peek into Their World
Okay, so you know how Meghan and Harry keep their kids totally under wraps since they ditched the US? We’re talking Fort Knox-level privacy! So, when these Lilibet pics dropped, I was like, whoa! We usually just get these teasing little glimpses—like, her cute little ponytail or some blurry side angle.
But this? It’s like they cracked the door open just a smidge, and I’m obsessed! So, this birthday post? It’s like a special gift to fans, showing off their mama-daughter bond while still keeping things low-key and respectful. I’m obsessed with how they balance that.
What’s Up with Lilibet’s Name and Title?
Lilibet, born June 4, 2021, got her name as a sweet nod to Queen Elizabeth II (her family nickname was “Lilibet”) and Princess Diana, Harry’s mom.

Since King Charles took over, Lilibet’s officially a princess, and Meghan and Harry started using that title for her and Archie after her christening in 2023. It’s such a cool mix of royal tradition and their own vibe.
Fans Are Living for This
Social media is buzzing with love for Meghan’s post. Fans are all about how she’s sharing this super personal moment while still protecting Lilibet’s privacy.
One person called it “the perfect mix of royal and real mom life,” and others are just so here for Meghan being open about motherhood in the spotlight. It’s like, yes, girl, we see you!
How This Shapes Meghan’s Vibe
This post is making Meghan feel so much more relatable. By sharing straight on Instagram, she’s skipping the stuffy royal press and connecting right with her fans.

It’s such a genuine move that shows off her mama side and reminds us she’s doing this whole public life thing her way, away from all the tabloid drama.
What’s Next for Lilibet and the Sussexes?
As little Lilibet hits four, Meghan and Harry are keeping it real in the US, juggling their big-deal lives with parenting, charity work, and their media projects.
