Meghan Markle shares rare photo of Lilibet to mark daughter's fourth birthday
Meghan Markle wrote a sweet message about her daughter Lilibet to mark her fourth birthday.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to post two intimate pictures of her cuddling her little girl.
The first was a black and white snap showing the pair looking windswept as Lilbet sits in her mother's lap on a boat.
A second image showed Meghan tenderly cradling newborn Lilibet as she enjoyed skin-to-skin time with the new addition to her family in 2021.
Meghan wrote: 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!'
The duchess usually only shares photos of her daughter pictured from behind to protect her privacy, but in the more recent image, Lilibet's eyes and top half of her face could be seen, with the rest of her face covered by Meghan's arms as she hugged the princess.
Lilibet is the youngest child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and was born in Santa Barbara after the couple quit royal life and moved to California.
The couple also share Prince Archie, aged six, who was born at the Portland Hospital in London when Harry and Meghan were working royals.
The birthday message comes after Meghan revealed her dream of potentially running a business with Lilibet in the future.
In a podcast episode featuring Tina Knowles, Meghan said she had drawn inspiration from Ms Knowles' venture with her daughter Beyoncé, the Cecred haircare line.
'I wonder if one day I'll be in business with Lily and we'll be building something,' Meghan said.
During an episode of her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, the Duchess of Sussex spoke with Cassandra Thurswell, the founder of hair and beauty brand Kitsch, about becoming a mother and the expectations she had for herself.
'I will say, for myself, especially when they are baby babies and before I was a mom, I've always wanted to be a mom,' Meghan said.
'I was like, 'Oh gosh I'm going to give a speech with a baby on my hip.' I had a whole vision.'
Over the years, she has largely kept her children out of the public eye. However, she still has one priority when it comes to raising them.
'For me, it's so important my kids see me as a working mom,' Meghan said.

I've tried for ages to potty train my toddler, then he watched ONE Ms Rachel's video and started doing it immediately
A MUM has been left stunned after her toddler managed to conquer potty training after watching just one Ms Rachel video. The 32-year-old explained in a clip on TikTok that she had tried for some time to potty train her little boy, but it hasn't "been going that well". 3 3 So when her husband sent her a video of someone saying that their toddler had potty trained themselves after watching Ms Rachel's new video, she thought it couldn't hurt to try. And imagine her surprise when just one viewing of the catchy video was enough to make her son start taking it seriously. "I watched it today with my toddler and later, as he was eating a popsicle, he stopped and said 'I have a poop feeling', which is what Ms Rachel says in her video," she marvelled. When he said that, she told him "let's go", took him to the potty and he did it. "And wow everyone, Ms Rachel!" she said. "I mean I'm sure we all know Ms Rachel for so many reasons, she is a real one!" And in the comments, the mum quickly found out she wasn't the only parent to have found the Ms Rachel video a game changer. "That episode completely changed our potty training journey too!" one wrote. "Protect Ms Rachel at all costs!! "MY ONE AND HALF YR OLD WATCHED IT TWICE- TWIIIIICE," another shouted. Ms. Rachel reveals she secretly welcomed a baby girl via surrogate and announces 'sweet' name after YouTube absence "He's been using the damn potty ever since- it's been like what a WEEK since it released? "THANK GOD FOR THAT WOMAN!" "My 22 mo watched the episode Thursday and by Sunday she had pooped in the potty," a third admitted. "The video is brilliant. My toddler is only 18months and she's doing so well in her potty training," someone else wrote. "We watched this episode for a few days and out of nowhere, my toddler is running to the bathroom saying, 'I have to potty!!!'" another gasped. "How many times did he watch it before this happened???" someone else asked the mum. Who is Ms Rachel? SHE'S arguably the most famous person on kids' TV at the moment, and has just had a whole line of toys and booked released for her fans. But just where did Ms Rachel come from, and how did she find fame? Ms Rachel's real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, and she worked as a music teacher in a public pre-school in New York before starting her YouTube channel. The Songs for Littles channel was created after she discovered there were barely any resources for her son, who had a speech delay. The tunes, made up from classic children's songs and nursery rhymes, with a twist, were composed by Rachel and her husband - Broadway composer Aron Accurso. She also started on TikTok, where she acquired over two and a half million followers by March 2023. She has also faced her fair share of controversy, such as when she offered to sell Cameo videos to raise money for Save the Children - mentioning the Gaza Strip, Sudan, Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rachel said she was "bullied online" for the move, and has since disabled comments on some of her Instagram, TikTok and YouTube posts. The highly-anticipated Ms Rachel toys were released in September, and are expected to be one of the biggest sellers this Christmas. To which she replied: "Just once!" "What juju did Ms Rachel activate to get all these kids hypnotised into action???" another questioned.

Cheeky Pepsi copies Coca-Cola's most famous campaign: 'I NEED ONE'
Pepsi is cheekily borrowing a page from Coca-Cola's playbook. 'Share a Pepsi' is a new campaign that riffs off Coke's iconic idea of putting names on bottles. Pepsi's twist is skipping people and going straight for the food — with labels like 'burgers', 'pizza', and 'tacos' front and center. 'Definitely prefer a burger over a Bruce,' joked one Instagram user. The idea is that soda fans pair drinks with their favorite foods. Coca-Cola's 'Share a Coke' campaign became a cultural phenomenon when it first hit shelves in 2014, letting people find bottles with their name — or send a flirty message via soda. Coke even revived it this year, offering digital custom bottles and a chance to win a trip to Hawaii. The promo runs through June 30, with chances to win a free limited-edition bottle on social or via the Pepsi Drops platform. Fans can also get $5 off DoorDash when they order two Pepsis. Pepsi has been one of Coca-Cola's longtime rivals despite being dethroned by Dr Pepper as the No 2 soda brand in the US. It's also one of the beverages heavily affected by tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump since much of its concentrate is made in Ireland. Fans praised Coca-Cola for reviving its 'Share a Coke' campaign last April. The limited-time special debuted in the US in 2014 and ran through 2018. However, the company revamped it by allowing drinkers to access a Share a Coke digital hub, where customers can personalize products. A Share a Coke truck has also been making stops in various cities in the US to give fans in-person digital experiences. If that wasn't enough for people to rave about, the company is also giving them the chance to win a trip to Hawaii and Share a Coke-themed merchandise. Everyone interested in trying for a Hawaiian adventure has until June 22 to enter the contest. Besides 'Share a Coke,' Coca-Cola is planning to revive its fan-favorite Diet Cherry Coke. The soda, which will return in retro-style packaging, will be back in various retailers nationwide beginning in mid-July for a limited time. Outside of the campaigns and products, the soda brands were the talk of social media due to noticeable drink swaps. Subway made headlines last year by ending its relationship with Coca-Cola and entering a 10-year agreement with PepsiCo. All Subway restaurants in the US have been offering Pepsi beverages since January, which left Reddit users wanting nothing to do with the sandwich chain. Costco also sparked a social media frenzy by announcing its plan to swap Pepsi for Coca-Cola drinks in its food courts. However, unlike Subway, multiple Reddit users were thrilled about the change because they're not Pepsi fans. The retailer revealed the machines would be replaced this summer, but customers spotted the first one in March during the grand opening of a store in California.
