Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, celebrates her daughter, Princess Lilibet, on her 4th birthday with rare and never-before-seen photos and footage. The Duchess shares Lilibet with her husband, Prince Harry, along with their 6-year-old son, Prince Archie.
On Wednesday, June 4, Meghan uploaded multiple Instagram posts documenting Lilibet's special day. From the hospital room to the present, the young princess has surely captured her parents' love and is a joy in their lives. The same applies to Archie, as the Royals have named their Archwell Foundation after him.
In the first of the three dedications, Meghan and Harry have themselves a little dance party in their delivery room as they prepare for labor. According to the caption, all other labor attempts failed, and the couple got their moves in to the tune of "Baby Mama" by Starrkeisha.
Meghan wears a black, sleeveless dress with her hair styled in a ponytail, while her husband went with a gray hoodie and jeans. The mood was keeping it cool and comfortable, as they wait for Lilibet's anticipated arrival, as she was a week past her due date.
For Meghan's second post, she featured Harry, holding his newborn daughter in a stunning black-and-white portrait. Lilibet looks fondly into her father's eyes, as if saying, "That's my daddy." The bond goes even deeper as the duo walks barefoot along the beachy California shores, holding one another's hands. Palm trees and blue skies surround them, and their casual fashions are perfect for the sunny outing.
And having a way with words, Meghan writes a beautiful passage describing the pair.
"The sweetest bond to watch unfold 💕 Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday ,Lili!"
Meghan has her bonding time with Lilibet in the third and final post. She holds the 4-year-old in an embrace while the wind blows at her dark hair and the princess's strawberry blonde locks, sailing, the Pacific Ocean behind the mom and daughter. Lilibet wears a dress printed with popsicles and ice blocks, while Meghan sports a crisp white shirt.
The second photo was taken after Lilibet's birth, as the new mom does skin-on-skin-contact with her new baby. Lilibet holds up her tiny hand with her fingers curled, as she naps on Meghan.
In the caption, Meghan says the following:
"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!"
Since retuning to Instagram earlier this year, Meghan has been giving her 3+ million followers her life updates. She has included new endeavors as well, such as promoting her Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan, and her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
