“Filming season two of ‘With Love, Meghan’ was more fun than you can imagine,” the Duchess of Sussex wrote in her Instagram caption.

During their time at Disneyland, Archie and Lilibet also enjoyed a merry-go-round ride.

During her birthday celebrations, Lilibet was also lucky enough to meet Elsa from Frozen, as her parents watched on happily.

The Sussexes all wore Mickey Mouse ears as they ventured around the parks.

In the sweet reel, we see Lilibet guide Prince Harry excitedly through Disneyland for her fourth birthday.

While Meghan shared snippets of Lilibet’s birthday, she is still determined to protect their privacy, and covered their faces in this family photo.

According to a source who spoke to Hello!, most of the trip would have taken place away from the public.

“Celebrity guests are typically driven around by a personal tour guide backstage so they don’t have to go through the crowds in the park and [they get to] use cast member entrances backstage to enter the rides,” the source said.

This picture was also reportedly taken outside of one of the Walt Disney apartments.

To celebrate Lilibet’s fourth birthday on June 4, 2021, her proud mum, Meghan, took to Instagram to share a sweet tribute alongside two never-before-seen photos of the young royal.

“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!”

Meghan also shared this adorable photo of Harry and Lilibet together to celebrate her fourth birthday alongside a video of herself dancing while in labour with Lilibet.

“Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work, there was only one thing left to do! 😂” she wrote.

Meghan posted this sweet photo of her with Archie and Lilibet to Instagram for Mother’s Day. The Duchess of Sussex praised her children and “juggling it all with joy!”

“And to these two gems-who still attempt to climb ‘Mama Mountain’, smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable adventure….being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life ❤️,” she wrote.

“I, too, ‘love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the French fries in all the world’.”

Only a day after Prince Harry lost his second appeal for taxpayer-funded security in the UK, Meghan shared a new family photo of her husband with their fast-growing kids presumably walking through the garden of their home in Montecito, California.

The black and white image had no caption, but it is a lovely photo nonetheless.
