Princess Lilibet appears to be becoming every inch her mother's daughter – and she was even wearing a very similar bracelet to Meghan Markle in an adorable new photo.
The four-year-old - who lives in Montecito, California, with Meghan, Prince Harry, and her brother Prince Archie, six - joined her mother for an adorable flower-arranging photoshoot.
"Mama's little helpers," Meghan wrote on social media, explaining to followers that the montage was behind-the-scenes footage of a shoot for her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Lili was wearing a light yellow dress and also sported an elegant gold bangle, twinning with Meghan in a sweet mother-daughter moment. The little accessory was very similar to one of Meghan's most prized pieces, a £5,800 Cartier "Love Bracelet" that she was also wearing for the shoot.
Meghan's daughter was also wearing the stylish bracelet in a second picture shared to announce a collaboration with a luxury floral delivery company on Tuesday, sharing a snap of herself and Lili holding a white gardenia flower.

Another spotted: "Awwww, notice Lili is wearing a little gold bracelet", and one more gushed, "Just like mom, so sweet."
Meghan's gift for Lilibet
The sweet matching moment will be a dream come true for Meghan, as she's always planned to leave her jewellery to her daughter. In 2015, the Duchess purchased her beloved Cartier Tank Watch after her TV show, Suits, was commissioned for a third season.

"I had it engraved on the back, 'To M.M. From M.M.' and I plan to give it to my daughter one day. That's what makes pieces special, the connection you have to them."
Meghan hadn't even met Prince Harry yet when she made the purchase, as it was before their first date in 2016. The couple welcomed Princess Lilibet in 2022, a sister for Archie, who was born in the UK in 2019, before they stepped down as senior royals.
Family tradition
Meghan also owns another Cartier watch, one that once belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. It has become such a prized item in her jewellery collection that she rarely takes it off.

The former Princess of Wales left a letter of wishes prior to her death, reading: "I would like you to allocate all my jewellery to the share to be held by my sons, so that their wives may, in due course, have it or use it."
Prince William's wife, Kate, 44, also owns items from Diana's collection – the most famous being her diamond and sapphire engagement ring. Her Lover's Knot tiara, seen at Wednesday night's Nigerian state banquet, was given to Diana as a wedding gift from the Queen in 1981.
