  "textContent": "\n\n\nMeghan Markle has celebrated Princess Lilibet reaching her fifth birthday by sharing fresh family photographs on Instagram.\n\nThe Duchess of Sussex, 44, uploaded images capturing the young princess at the family's £11million Montecito residence, accompanied by the caption: \"Our dream girl. Happy fifth birthday, Lili.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe photographs feature Lilibet dressed in a pale yellow sundress, the same outfit she wore during behind-the-scenes filming for her mother's As Ever lifestyle brand.\n\nOne image shows Lilibet exploring the garden and admiring flowers at the California property.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nA second photograph shows Prince Harry tenderly cradling his daughter while Meghan gazes at the pair with a smile.\n\nThe young princess can be seen wearing a delicate gold bracelet bearing a striking resemblance to the Duchess of Sussex’s £5,800 Cartier Love Bracelet.\n\nThe couple's commitment to keeping their children out of the spotlight was so steadfast that following Lilibet's first birthday portrait, which showed the toddler at a Frogmore Cottage picnic, no further official images revealing her face were released for years.\n\nArchie's face has not appeared in any photograph since the family's 2021 Christmas card.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhen Lilibet turned four, Meghan offered followers their first clear view of her daughter through a black and white photograph displaying her eyes and upper face.\n\nShortly afterwards, the family's two-day Disneyland trip was documented on Instagram, featuring the children meeting Elsa from Frozen and Harry enjoying a ride with his daughter.\n\nThis social media activity continued with tributes on International Day of the Girl, Halloween celebrations, and the annual holiday card showing Harry and Archie in a tender embrace while Meghan pressed her forehead against Lilibet's on a bridge.\n\nA Valentine's Day post showed Lilibet's appearance clearly, with Harry holding the princess as she clutched red balloons.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
