The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released a new photograph of their daughter Lilibet to mark her fifth birthday, describing her as “our dream girl” in a rare public statement.
The picture, shared by the couple on 4 June, shows Lilibet wearing a gold bangle similar to the Cartier style favoured by her mother, Meghan. It is the first image of the princess since the family’s Christmas card in 2023.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared a new photo of their daughter Lilibet for her fifth birthday, calling her 'our dream girl'. The picture shows her wearing a gold bangle similar to Meghan’s Cartier style.”
Born on 4 June 2021 in the United States, Lilibet is the second child of Harry and Meghan. She was officially granted the title of Princess following the accession of King Charles III, though she and her brother Archie are not styled as HRH in practice.
The Sussexes, who stepped back from frontline royal duties in 2020, now live in Montecito, California. The birthday tribute did not include any details of private celebrations or future plans.
For royal watchers, the photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the younger generation of the Royal Family. The image has been widely shared across UK media, reflecting continued public interest in the couple’s family life.
