Lilibet's Birthday Photos
Meghan Markle Releases Lilibet's Fifth Birthday Portraits, Showcasing Her Lifestyle Brand
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry marked their daughter Princess Lilibet’s fifth birthday by posting two newly released family portraits from their Montecito, California home, including a photo of Harry holding Lilibet as Meghan smiles beside them and another showing Lilibet in the garden reaching toward flowers. In the images, Lilibet is styled with long strawberry-blonde hair and wears a pale yellow sundress previously seen in behind-the-scenes content tied to Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever. Observers noted fashion and accessory similarities between mother and daughter, including what appears to be a delicate gold bracelet resembling Meghan’s Cartier Love bracelet. Multiple reports said the birthday post reflects a noticeable shift in how Meghan has increasingly shared her children on social media in recent months, presenting As Ever as an extension of her life as a mother and homemaker. Earlier in Lilibet’s life, the couple reportedly kept her more shielded from public view, with fewer full glimpses of her face. One report also floated uncertainty about whether any birthday gift or letter was sent by King Charles to Montecito, without offering confirmation.
Key Points
In the Instagram caption accompanying the photos, Meghan wrote: “Our dream girl. Happy fifth birthday, Lili.”
One report put a figure on the jewelry comparison, saying the Cartier “Love Bracelet” Meghan is compared to is valued at around £5,800.
A separate description of the new images noted Lilibet in the garden reaching toward “blue-purple agapanthus” (also known as “Lily of the Nile” or “African Lily”), with one photo showing her barefoot and with her hair covering her face as she is held in Harry’s arms.
The birthday coverage also included biographical timing details, reporting that Lilibet was born on June 4, 2021 at 11.40 PDT and that Meghan’s return to social media began in January 2025, after which she shared more pictures of her children.
