Meghan Markle shares new photos on daughter Lilibet's 5th birthday

June 4 (UPI) --Meghan Markle, duchess of Sussex, shared sweet new photos of her daughter Lilibet on the princess’ fifth birthday.

“Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili,” Markle captioned the images Thursday.

One photo showed the child in the arms of her smiling father, Prince Harry, while Markle hugs them both. 

The other is a portrait of the girl outside alone and looking at a flower.

Markle married the son of King Charles and the late Princess Diana in 2018, and they welcomed their own son Archie in 2019.

The couple stepped down as working members of the royal family in 2020 and moved to California.
