Princess Lilibet is celebrating a milestone birthday.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter turns 5 on Thursday.

Meghan marked the milestone by sharing two new photos of Lilibet, who goes by Lili, on social media.

One photo shows Meghan and Harry together with Lili, while the second photo shows Lili posing alone outdoors.

"Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili 🤍," Meghan captioned the photos.

Lili, whose full name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California.

Her name honors both her great-grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose family nickname was Lilibet, and her grandmother, the late Princess Diana.

With her birth in California, Lili made royal history as the first child of a senior British royal born in the United States. She is the younger sibling of Prince Archie, who turned 7 in May.

Harry and Meghan, who stepped back from their roles as senior working royals in 2020, have largely kept their children out of the public eye. However, the couple has occasionally shared glimpses of family life in California.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, posted the photo to her Instagram of Lilibet and Harry on International Women’s Day on March 8, 2026.

Last year, the family celebrated Lili's fourth birthday with a trip to Disneyland. Meghan later shared photos from the outing, including images of the family enjoying attractions and meeting Disney characters.

In recent years, Meghan has also posted rare photos of Lili on special occasions, including her birthday and family milestones.
