Meghan Markle shares rare picture of daughter Lilibet in hospital on day she was born to celebrate her 4th birthday
MEGHAN Markle has shared a heartwarming picture of her daughter Lilibet to celebrate her fourth birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex shared the sweet snap on Instagram of the day her tot was born along with a picture of Lilibet in the present day.
Meghan said that each day has been "brighter and better" after Lili came into the world.
She captioned the post: "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!"
The family will likely celebrate privately at their California home, continuing their tradition of sharing glimpses of their children's special moments with the public through social media.
Meghan and Harry's daughter Lilibet is seventh in the line of succession to the British throne.
She was born in 2021 during the reign of her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, whose childhood nickname was Lilibet.
The nickname was coined when then-Princess Elizabeth was just a toddler and couldn't pronounce her own name properly.
Her grandfather King George V would affectionately call her Lilibet, imitating her attempts to say her name.
The name eventually stuck and came to be used by close relatives.
Harry and Meghan are raising Lilibet and her brother Archie in an exclusive corner of Montecito, California.
It comes after Meghan shared a rare clip of Lili dressed in a beekeeping suit as the pair walked hand in hand to the hives.
The mum-of-two continues to reveal sneak peeks into her life at their £2million Montecito mansion in California.
In the video, the Duchess walked with her daughter towards the beehives, which also featured in her Netflix show With Love, Meghan.
The pair hold hands as Lili toddles along in rainbow coloured wellie-boots and her beekeeping suit.
She looks up at her mum and smiles before Meghan rubs her back helps her with the task at hand.
