Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, marked Lilibet’s recent fourth birthday with an extraordinarily tender social media tribute. To celebrate this beautiful and rare occasion, she released two amazing and precious shots. The photos illustrate the beautiful relationship between Meghan and her mom, the latter of whom Meghan celebrated the day with this touching post. Lilibet, born on June 4, 2021, is the little sister to Prince Archie, now six years old.
In the very first picture shared, Meghan is seen holding Lilibet close and lovingly. Most importantly, you can see Lilibet’s face, peeking out from behind Meghan’s hand and arm. The second photograph captures a moment shortly after Lilibet’s birth, showing Meghan cradling her daughter with Lilibet’s face visible in profile. The Duchess goes to great lengths to shield her kids’ privacy. Along the way, she gives exuberant praise to their significant achievements.
Meghan’s caption for the IGS post perfectly captured her enthusiasm and appreciation. She first joined our family four years ago today, and every day since has been a new adventure and better because of her. Big thank you to all who have been spreading the love and celebrating her special big day! This outpouring of love and appreciation makes the announcement of Lilibet’s birthday all the more important to the family.
In the past, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made it clear that they value the privacy of their children above all else. Last year, they sent out a Christmas card featuring Lilibet and Archie. In the children’s photo, they’ve all raised their hands to cover their faces, turned away from the camera. This effort underlines their desire to protect their minor children from unwanted public attention. Yet, even amidst such disillusionments, they still provide unique windows into their rich family life.
Meghan has already been vocal about the struggle she faced during and after her pregnancies, even battling postpartum preeclampsia. This extremely serious condition can form four to six weeks after giving birth – though the majority of cases arise within 48 hours. Meghan’s frankness about her mental health experiences has touched people of all ages, further complicating her character as a mother.
“The world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly,” – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
