Meghan and Harry have shared rare footage of their children enjoying Lilibet's birthday bash in Disneyland.
The Duchess of Sussex can be seen in the Instagram post today wearing Minnie Mouse ears - while the young royal, who turned four last week, was presented with a Little Mermaid cake
Prince Harry can also be seen in the video montage on various rides at the theme park in California, and at some points wearing Mickey Mouse ears.
The 1946 song It's A Good Day by Peggy Lee is playing over the footage and snaps, including an in-ride photo of Harry and Meghan on the Space Mountain roller coaster.
The Duchess captioned the video: 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!'
The footage was reminiscent of photos taken of the duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World in Florida in 1993.
The trio also took a trip to UK-theme park Alton Towers the following year.
At the time, the royal siblings were photographed sitting at the front of a log on the Splash Mountain ride, with adults from their mother's entourage behind them and Diana seated at the back.
The footage starts with Lilibet seen excitedly dragging her dad through the park entrance before she is given a special greeting by a Disney princess.
Next, the whole family are seen on a log flume and then Lilibet appears on a Dumbo ride.
A further snap shows Harry and Meghan standing with Archie as they watch a Star Wars stage show featuring Storm Troopers.
Another video clip then sees Minnie and Mickey Mouse stuffed toys with 'Happy Birthday Lili' badges before another photo shows Harry beaming as he and his daughter ride a Buzz Lightyear-themed Star Cruiser ride.
The two royal kids are then shown on a carousel before a snap shows the Ariel cake, which also says: 'Happy Birthday Lili.'
A couple of in-ride photos show Harry, Archie and Meghan on the Cars-themed Radiator Springs Racers attraction - then mum and dad on the famous space coaster.
A family snap sees Harry kneeling down to hug his son, six, while Meghan holds Lilibet's hand - with both kids' faces obscured by heart emojis.
All the photos of the children in the collection show either the backs of their heads or have their faces covered.
Lili – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's youngest child – was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
It comes after Meghan, 43, marked Lilibet's birthday on June 4 by posting a video of her in 2021 twerking in a hospital room in an effort to induce labour.
While wild conspiracy theorists have branded it fake, experts say every pregnancy bump is different - whether it's large or small, high or low, wide or pointy, it's all completely normal.
It's been suggested Meghan posted the video to quell rumours that her pregnancy was faked, and that she wore a prosthetic fake pregnant belly known as a 'moonbump'.
Pip Davies, an NHS midwife and co-founder of Midwife Pip Podcast (@midwife_pip) told Sun Health it's completely normal for baby bumps to come in all shapes and sizes, especially as you near the end of pregnancy.
She explained: 'Everybody carries differently, and factors like muscle tone, baby's position, and even your height can affect how your bump looks and this can change regularly with time of day, day on day or week on week.'
