Happy birthday, Princess Lilibet!

That’s right – the youngest child of the Sussex family turns four today, and proud mum Meghan Markle marked the occasion with a touching photo shared on Instagram.

As expected, the sweet birthday tribute quickly sparked conversations across the internet, just like every time the Duchess of Sussex posts online.

“Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!” Meghan wrote in the caption.

“Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it.”

She added, “Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!”

Meghan posted a beautiful black-and-white photo of herself holding Lilibet on what appears to be a boat, offering the most public glimpse yet of their daughter, who has mostly been kept out of the spotlight since her 2021 birth.

She also included a touching black-and-white image from the day Lilibet was born, adding to the sentimental tone of the post.

Since returning to social media on January 1 after a four-year absence, Meghan has been offering a more personal look into her and Prince Harry’s family life. But with that increased visibility has come ongoing backlash from online critics who scrutinize her every move. Because of this, Meghan has disabled the comment section on her Instagram account.
