Once upon a June 4th, four years ago, a little royal light named Princess Lilibet entered the world and lit it up. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Meghan Markle
shared, “Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it.
” The post featured tender moments of Princess Lilibet with Prince Harry
, basking in love and joy. With such a glowing celebration of life, it was only fitting that the birthday bash matched the magic.
Naturally, her fourth birthday demanded something spectacular, and what could be more enchanting than a celebration steeped in Disney dreams?
The Sussex Family’s Disneyland Escapade
Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday was celebrated with royal flair as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry treated their daughter to a two-day extravaganza at Disneyland. The family-of-four, including Prince Archie, spent the weekend at the famed California theme park, enjoying the signature attractions, character meet-and-greets, and a generous helping of the park’s most iconic snacks. Meghan Markle documented the celebration in a video montage posted to her official Instagram account
, offering a glimpse into the family’s joyful moments.

The reel showcased Princess Lilibet beaming as she rode the teacups, posed near Sleeping Beauty’s castle, and indulged in treats including the park’s famous corn dogs. Prince Harry was seen holding her hand on rides, while Prince Archie shared laughs with cast members. The footage highlighted the warmth and closeness of the family, making it a rare public moment of togetherness. The celebration combined royal tenderness with the carefree joy of childhood wonder.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are parenting with sunshine, sass, and a sprinkle of rebellion, something that is quite unconventional for royals.
Royal blood raised in California sun
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appear to be raising Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with more sunshine, fewer stiff collars, and zero royal wave rehearsals. From barefoot strolls to sandbox playdates, their parenting manual clearly skips the chapter on royal formality. A few days ago, Markle even posted a joyful throwback of herself dancing with a baby bump and a very enthusiastic Prince Harry
, a video that felt more music festival than monarchy-approved portrait.

The couple has traded palace protocol for park visits and tantrums over tiaras. While other royal heirs were being photographed in pressed shorts and polished shoes, Prince Archie was spotted wearing a dinosaur hoodie and an ice cream grin. Princess Lilibet celebrated her birthday with teacup rides instead of tiara fittings. Forget royal traditions, these two are being raised on good vibes, grilled cheese, and family dance breaks that could knock corgis off their paws.
