While we have only seen glimpses of Princess Lilibet Sussex (formerly Mountbatten-Windsor), Prince Harry and Meghan have shared special moments about their daughter over the years.
Though Princess Lilibet and her older brother, Prince Archie, are kept largely out of the spotlight, with her adorable smile and sweet curly hair, it’s hard not to fall in love with Lilibet.
Born on June 4, 2021, the now four-year-old is one of the most famous toddlers in the world thanks to her royal lineage. As the youngest child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the princess is currently seventh in the line of succession to the British throne.
Ever since her birth, official images of Lilibet have been few and far between (unlike her cousins across the pond).
The reason for this, of course, we can presume links back to her parents’ controversial decision to step away from their official royal duties in March 2020, 18 months prior to her birth.
Royal watchers were even left waiting six long months before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed what their darling daughter looked like in their 2021 Christmas card.
Scroll on to see every single photo that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared of Princess Lilibet since she was born.

Disney family fun
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.
Birthday celebrations
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!”

An unbreakable father-daughter bond
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.
Mother’s Day Joy
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’.”
A rare family photo
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.

Honouring International Women’s Day
The Duchess of Sussex shared a photo of Lilibet sharing a cuddle with her dad, in a gallery for International Women’s Day 2025.
“Celebrating the strong women around us & the girls with dreams who will become women with vision. Also, thanking those who uplift us every day,” she captioned the post.
Along with featuring a photo of her daughter, Meghan also included a throwback and present photo with her mother, Doria Ragland, and a photo embracing Harry at the beach.
Meghan, Lilibet, and Serena Williams
“When the aunties come to celebrate… and to play! Love you @serenawilliams.”

In the photo, Lilibet can be seen with her back to the camera playing a game with Serena.
Meghan also included a countdown to her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, which premiered on March 4, 2025.
Long flowing red hair
After almost 18 months of no new images, the Duke and Duchess released a new image of their fast-growing daughter, her long red hair flowing in the wind as she raced to embrace her doting father, Prince Harry.
In the image, which was included in the Sussex family 2024 Christmas card, Princess Lilibet is pictured alongside her brother, Prince Archie, who is racing to embrace his mother, Meghan Markle.
The image is assumed to have been taken at the family home in Montecito, California, and also features their family dogs Guy, Pula, and Momma Mia.
