Meghan Markle Posts Gorgeous Photo of Daughter Lilibet—and It's Unlike Any Photo Meghan's Shared in Years

Today marks a milestone for King Charles's youngest grandchild, Princess Lilibet. The daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is turning four—and her parents shared a stunning photo to mark the occasion.

In honor of Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday, Markle posted two images on her new-ish Instagram account, both black-and-white shots.

The first image shows Markle and her daughter cuddling on what appears to be a boat (perhaps the same one from the Harry pic shared back in March?). The second looks to have been taken moments after Lilibet's birth.

Markle captioned the post, "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!"

And while the image is certainly beautiful, something specific caught my eye: the young princess is facing the camera.

Markle has shared a number of photos and videos of Lilibet (where her red hair is on display) and son Archie, 6, in recent months. But they all feature the kids facing away from the camera, a common theme among celebs. This is the first time in recent memory that Lilibet is facing the camera. And though her mouth and nose are covered by Markle's hand, we do get a look at her hair and her eyes.

Three years ago, photographer Misan Harriman shared a birthday photo of Lili (above), where her full face is visible. The photo was captioned, "It was such a privilege to celebrate the 1st birthday of Lilibet with my family and hers! Joy and face painting all around."
