7 Sweet Photos Of Meghan Markle And Daughter Lilibet

Meghan Markle does it all; she's the Duchess of Sussex, the founder of home and lifestyle brand As ever, and a mother of two young children — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan is no stranger to the spotlight (for better or for worse), so it is no surprise that she and husband Prince Harry try to keep their children away from the media. Though there have been many sweet moments between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry caught on camera, the couple do not bring Archie and Lilibet on public excursions very often. However, Meghan does post pictures of her family on Instagram quite often (albeit while hiding her children's faces from the camera as best as possible), with many featuring her daughter Lilibet. 

Though Lilibet turned just 4 years old in 2025, she and Meghan already make a wonderful mother-daughter duo. From fashionista hang-outs in Meghan's closet, to beekeeping adventures and Disneyland vacations, the pair seem to be inseparable. The Duchess of Sussex is the queen of not letting other's words drag you down — Meghan Markle's baby naming advice, for instance, largely comes down to not asking for outside opinions — and hopefully has been imparting her wisdom on Lilibet from a young age. Here are a few of the sweetest photos documenting Meghan and Lilibet's bond. 

During a family trip to Disneyland in May 2026, Meghan Markle took Princess Lilibet to a Disney Princess meet-and-greet. In one adorable Instagram picture from the trip, Meghan can be seen smiling widely to Archie as Lilibet (who is a literal princess herself by title) speaks with a princess cast member. The entire family went all-in on the Disney vibes, with Meghan wearing a black baseball cap with Mickey Mouse ears and a red bow, and Lilibet wearing a pink hat with sparkly pink ears.

We've gotten to see Meghan Markle's stunning style transformation over the years, and it seems like Princess Lilibet will grow up to be just as much of a fashionista as her mother. In May 2026, Meghan posted a picture of Lilibet helping her dress for the day to Instagram. Both mother and daughter were dressed in different shades of pink, with Lilibet wearing a darker pink dress and Meghan opting for a pale pink coat. "Mama's little helper," Meghan captioned the post. 

Meghan Markle often honors her daughter on holidays that center women and girls, and International Women's Day 2026 was no exception. In March 2026, Meghan posted a picture of herself and Princess Lilibet hugging on the beach while watching the waves. Like with many of her other posts that feature Lilibet, Meghan chose to feature an image that conceals her daughter's face from view. "For the woman she will one day be ... Happy International Women's Day," the Duchess of Sussex captioned the picture. 

Meghan Markle posted a family photo featuring Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet to mark Christmas 2025. The Duchess of Sussex held hands with Lilibet, leaning down to be eye-level with her daughter. Beside the mother-daughter duo, Prince Harry hugged their son Archie, who turned 7 in 2026. The family of four posed on a small wooden bridge in a tree-lined area, a different take on typical winter-themed family Christmas photos. Nevertheless, Meghan and Lilibet looked adorable in this snapshot. 

Meghan Markle featured Princess Lilibet in an Instagram post honoring International Girl's Day in October 2025. The Duchess of Sussex posted a video of her and Lilibet playing in the park, as well as a photo of the two holding hands and enjoying the outdoors together. "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," Meghan wrote in the caption.

Meghan Markle shared her beekeeping hobby with Princess Lilibet, showing her daughter how she harvests honey. The As ever founder posted a video of herself and Lilibet dressed in proper gear as they visited her beehives. While Meghan wore a pair of brown boots as part of her beekeeping attire, Lilibet donned rainbow-print boots. But, as the Duchess of Sussex pointed out in the post's caption, Lilibet borrowed her mom's gloves for the outing. "Harvesting honey with my little honey. (Like mother, like daughter; she's even wearing my gloves)," Meghan wrote.

Meghan Markle commemorated Princess Lilibet's 4th birthday in a set of black-and-white photos on Instagram. Meghan charted her daughter's growth by recreating a snapshot of her embracing a newborn Lilibet, this time hugging her on a beach instead of a hospital bed. The Duchess of Sussex cleverly concealed her daughter's face with her hand, continuing to keep Lilibet's full face off of social media. "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," Meghan wrote in the post's caption.
