Meghan Markle has shared a rare glimpse of her four-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet, who is growing up fast. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have largely kept their two young children out of the spotlight while raising them in California, but have shared the occasional family update and photo obscuring their faces on social media over the years. However, their son Archie, six, and daughter Lilibet hardly ever speak on camera.
To mark International Women's Day, Meghan shared ultra-rare footage of her daughter's voice as they celebrated the special date together with a mother and daughter beach outing. The royal enjoyed watching the waves wash up on the shoreline in an idyllic clip posted to her Instagram Stories, where at the very end, an excited Lilibet could be heard animatedly exclaiming.
Lilibet shared a hug with her mother as they sat by the water in another photo taken by her dad Prince Harry from their family beach day. "For the woman she will one day be…Happy International Women’s Day," Meghan captioned the adorable photo which showed off Lilibet's fiery red hair.

Lilibet and her brother Archie, who are being raised in Montecito, both already sound to be developing American accents like their mother. Meghan has shared snippets of her children's voices over the years - including an adorable video of when her daughter joined her in the kitchen in April 2025. While helping her mother make a batch of her famous jam, Lilibet sweetly showed off her accent with just a few words.
After Meghan asked her daughter what she thought of their baking, Lilibet adorably replied: "I think it's beautiful", with a Californian twang.
Lilibet has 'found her voice'

She continued: "And we're so proud of that because that is how we, as I was saying, create the conditions in which there's a ripple effect of young girls and young women knowing that if someone else is encouraging them to use their voice and be heard, that's what they're going to do. And they're going to create a different environment than so many of us grew up in."
