'Wow': Meghan Markle Shares New Pictures of Daughter Lilibet, Igniting Buzz

Weeks after marking her son's birthday and Mother's Day with endearing posts, the Duchess of Sussex recently commemorated her daughter's birthday with touching pictures.

Today, June 4, 2025, Meghan Markle shared two black-and-white images of her and Prince Harry's daughter, Princess Lilibet. The photos are included as part of a birthday post the doting mother made. Meghan's pictures have sparked varying reactions from online viewers, with some complimenting them and others pointing out how something does not quite look right.

One photo in the birthday tribute shows an intimate snapshot of Meghan cradling a newborn Lilibet against her chest; a quiet stillness surrounds both of them. The Duchess, with her freckles on full display as she looks down lovingly at her baby, appears serene in the earliest moments of motherhood.

The cover image moves forward in time — a windswept Meghan sits outdoors, this time with a now older Lilibet, whom she nestles closely in her arms. Lilibet turns her face inward as Meghan partially shields her from view.

The tenderness in both photos is echoed in Meghan's caption, which reads, "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she [sic] 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!"

The birthday post quickly gained traction across social media, drawing a wave of reactions that ranged from heartwarming to sharply critical. Admirers were quick to praise the touching tribute and the rare peek into Meghan and Lilibet's bond.

Many, including our AmoMama readers, offered birthday wishes and warm sentiments, describing the photos as "so beautiful" and "very pretty." Others left cheerful notes like "Happy birthday" and "Happy Birthday Beautiful Lili," underscoring the affection fans continue to show the Sussex children.

However, not all feedback was positive. A number of viewers turned their attention to Lilibet's appearance, suggesting that something seemed amiss.

"Left picture, much older child than four, right side a lifelike doll. Look at the hand. Delusional," observed one AmoMama reader, while another bluntly stated, "That babies hand don't look right [sic]."

On the other hand, some people attempted to refocus the conversation with kinder reflections, with one person stating, "Both babies are like daddy. Beautiful pics," and another calling for civility — "Wow to those who are being so vicious, if you don't like her then just scroll not [sic] troll."

Despite the mixed commentary surrounding Lilibet's birthday post, Meghan has continued to embrace the joy of sharing milestone moments with the public.

Several weeks earlier, at the start of May, she celebrated another special occasion: Prince Archie's sixth birthday. The Duchess of Sussex marked the moment with a striking photo of Archie dressed in striped pajamas on a sunlit terrace. He gazed out at a blazing orange sunset.

"Our son. Our sun. Happy 6th birthday to Archie! Thank you for all of the love, prayers, and warm wishes for our sweet boy. He's six! Where did the time go?" wrote Meghan in her caption.

She continued, "(And for all of you who came to celebrate with us at his party last weekend, thank you for making his birthday so incredibly special ❤️)."

The string of personal posts Meghan has shared in recent months didn't begin with birthdays alone. Earlier in May, after Archie's celebration, the Duchess also marked Mother's Day with a touching tribute that further underscored her love for her children.

In the photo she posted, Meghan stood outdoors, wrapped in a soft embrace with both Archie and Lilibet — one child perched on each hip, their arms tightly looped around her shoulders.

The three stood on a terrace framed by aged stone columns and leafy vines, a picturesque view of palm trees and blue skies stretched out in front of them.

"Happy Mother's Day! Cheers to juggling it all with joy!" she expressed in the caption, before sweetly adding, "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 ended her message with, "I, too, 'love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french [sic] fries in all the world.'"

The post painted a vivid picture of everyday motherhood — chaotic, tender, and utterly treasured. As part of the recent string of family-focused posts, Meghan offered yet another glimpse into her life as a hands-on mother — this time through an endearing video of her and Lilibet harvesting honey.

In the opening shot, the pair, donning white beekeeping suits, walk hand-in-hand toward a small beehive in the center of a grove of trees.

Lilibet, nearly swimming in her gear, toddles along beside her mother, her miniature beekeeper's hat slightly askew and her rainbow boots peeking out from beneath the suit.

The video cuts to a close-up of the hive's honeycomb, teeming with bees, as Meghan carefully tends to the frame. Lilibet stands at a safe distance, watching intently as her mother gently handles the waxy surface and lifts a glistening block of honeycomb.

The final moments show Meghan indoors, transferring the rich, amber-colored honey into a jar, her face glowing with quiet satisfaction.

"Look at all of that fresh honeycomb! Harvesting honey with my little honey. (Like mother, like daughter; she's even wearing my gloves) 🐝 🍯," she noted in the post's caption.

The video is a fitting addition to a series of deeply personal moments Meghan Markle has shared with the public — a portrait of motherhood steeped not in ceremony, but in curiosity, care, and the sweet, sticky joys of everyday life.
