Meghan Markle took to social media to share a photo and a short video of her daughter Princess Lilibet, delighting fans with a glimpse of the youngster
Meghan Markle has often shared small glimpses of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on Instagram. And fans have been treated to another snap and short video of four-year-old Lilibet as her mum the Duchess of Sussex, marked a special day.
In order to mark International Day of the Girl, Meghan shared an adorable photo of Lili running across the grass in a pink outfit. It was followed by a sweet mother-daughter picture, which showed the pair admiring the garden. It was accompanied by the caption: “To all the girls – this world is yours. Do everything you can to protect your rights, use your voice, support each other. We will do the same for you. It’s your right and our responsibility. Go get ‘em girl! Happy International Day of the Girl.”

And yet again, fans were taken by Lilibet’s long red hair, which is tied up in a ponytail, with many remarking how much she takes after her dad, Prince Harry.
One fan wrote on X: “The cutest red headed Princess, Lilibet Diana.” While another said: “As Prince Harry said, the Spencer red gene is indeed VERY strong.
Another fan posted: “Our little red hair Princess Lilibet” and another noted: “Lili has her daddy’s height as well as his hair.”
However, it wasn’t the only detail that has been noticed in the photo. As Meghan and Lili look out to a stream, the youngster can be seen wearing her £35 rainbow bag by soft toy brand Jellycat.
The soft cuddly toys have fans all around the world and it seems it is not just Lilibet who is the only member of the Royal Family who is a fan. Earlier this year, Prince William revealed how his three children were fans of the toys and described them as ‘serious currency’ for children.
It came as he and wife Kate were reunited with the family of Liz Hatton, the teenage photographer who captured the hearts of the nation with her brave cancer fight, at a Buckingham Palace garden party.
During their meeting, Liz’s younger brother gave William and Kate lemon pie and pickled onion Jellycat toys as a gift. And it prompted the Prince of Wales to say: “My children will love these. They are children’s currency.”
Lili – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s youngest child – was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
She only became entitled to be a princess when her grandfather the King acceded to the throne, because of rules set out by King George V in 1917.
Harry and Meghan started using prince and princess for Archie and Lili after the princess’s christening in 2023, following correspondence with Charles about the matter.
Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. Princess Elizabeth had difficulty pronouncing her own name as a toddler and her grandfather George V would affectionately call her Lilibet, imitating her own attempts to say Elizabeth. The sweet nickname stuck and she became known as Lilibet to her family from then on.
