Prince Harry and Meghan share new portrait of Princess Lilibet on her fifth birthday

A new family portrait featuring Princess Lilibet has been shared publicly, offering fans only the second clear view of the young royal's face to date.

The birthday portrait

The photograph shows Lilibet cradled in the arms of her father, Prince Harry, with Meghan Markle standing at his side, her hand resting on his shoulder.

The image was shared as part of the celebrations marking Lilibet's fifth birthday — a notable milestone for the little girl who holds seventh place in the line of succession.

Meghan accompanied the post with a brief but heartfelt message, writing simply: "Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili."

A look back at Lilibet's fourth birthday

Whilst the couple tends to keep personal details of their children's lives largely private, Meghan did share a video on the occasion of Lilibet's fourth birthday in 2025.

The footage, which came directly from the delivery room at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, offered a glimpse into the day of Lilibet's arrival.

The video included the caption: "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!"
