Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are celebrating their daughter Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday at the happiest place on earth!
On Friday, June 6, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared a charming video of herself, the Duke of Sussex, 40, and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Lilibet, who just turned 4 on June 4, exploring Disneyland.
“Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!,” Meghan captioned the Instagram post, set to Peggy Lee’s “It’s a Good Day.”
The video began with Lili wearing a sparkly blue baseball cap and a colorful sleeveless dress while holding her mom’s hand as she led the way through the California theme park.
Next was dad Harry following closely behind as his little princess met a Disney Princess, before the family was photographed going up a log flume ride at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Meghan looked back, flashing a huge smile while wearing Minnie Mouse ears as they prepared for the drop that faced them on the water ride.
Other stops on their outing included a ride on Dumbo the Flying Elephant and a trip to see Star Wars troopers.
Meghan posted photos of their food, which included corn dogs and pickle slices, but, of course, no birthday can be complete without a birthday cake.

As the video went on, it showed a Little Mermaid–themed cake featuring Princess Ariel and her undersea friend Sebastian — a perfect Disney princess pick for Lilibet, who also famously sports red hair.
Additional highlights included a carousel ride with the siblings sitting together, roller coasters and walks throughout the park, which is currently celebrating its 70th anniversary.

Meghan added hearts over Lilibet and Archie’s faces, as the mother of two has been adamant about keeping their faces out of the public eye for privacy reasons.
“Our kids are young,” Meghan told CBS News Sunday Morning in August 2024. “They’re 3 and 5. They’re amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them. And so, as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there, and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good.”

In an exclusive March interview with PEOPLE, Meghan opened up about her special bond with daughter Lilibet and the heartfelt decision to feature her in the launch of her website, Asever.com. The site’s landing page shows a tender photo of Meghan and Lilibet hand in hand in their backyard, surrounded by trees.
“Being able to have my own little girl, as I’ve spent so much of my life championing the rights of girls and women, and to be able to see this as a multigenerational story — Archie is of course included in that, my husband is of course included in that — but I love the heritage feeling of it and knowing this is something that I can create in front of my daughter and teach her what it’s like to be a working mom,” she said. “This is something that hopefully can be part of her legacy too.”
