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 three-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 parent’s 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.
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.
Vibrant red hair
In late April 2025, the Duchess of Sussex shared a new snap of her sweet Lilibet, her long red hair on full display.
She certainly follows in the footsteps of her father, who has fiery red hair of his own!
A sweet cuddle
The Duchess of Sussex posted a loving photo with both of her children on March 25, 2025, to her business Instagram account As Ever.
“Every day is a love story ?️,” she captioned the photo.
It seems they are all enjoying quality time together in the garden of their family home in Montecito, California!
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.”
Meghan shared a new photo of Princess Lilibet to her Instagram stories in March 2025 showing her playing with none other than Serena Williams!
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 the 4th March.
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.
Waving hello
The toddler was spotted enjoying a 4th of July parade in her hometown of Montecito in 2023 with her mum, Meghan, close by.
In a video shared to the Rosewood Miramar Beach Instagram account, the reclusive royals were briefly shown waving at Model T Ford cars as they drove by.
Mum and daughter were also shown to be holding miniature American flag pinwheels in their hands.
Doting dad Harry was also spotted in the background chatting to another parade attendee, with Archie wrapped around his leg, remaining mostly unseen from the camera.
