Meghan Markle Shares Two New Photos to Mark Princess Lilibet’s Fifth Birthday

The Instagram post continues the couple’s guarded approach to showing their children while limiting direct public engagement.

Overview

  • Meghan posted two previously unseen family photos on Instagram on June 4, 2026, captioned “Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili” with a white heart emoji.
  • One image shows Prince Harry holding Lilibet with Meghan looking on and a second shows Lilibet barefoot in a garden, and both photos keep the child’s face largely obscured.
  • Comments and likes were disabled on the upload, matching the couple’s repeated use of composition and platform settings to reduce the children’s online exposure.
  • Reaction was mixed, with some outlets and commenters praising the measured sharing and others criticizing it as inconsistent with Meghan’s public warnings about children and social media.
  • The post fits a clear pattern since the Sussexes’ 2020 move to California of marking milestones with limited family snapshots rather than increasing the children’s public profile.
