Meghan Markle and her daughter, Princess Lilibet, seemed to mark International Women’s Day with time at the beach.

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, shared a sweet photo of herself and her 4-year-old snuggled up on some rocks watching the surf on Sunday, March 8.

“For the woman she will one day be…Happy International Women’s Day,” Meghan, 44, captioned the post, with the photo credit going to someone special: “Papa Sussex,” or Prince Harry, 41.

Meghan also shared a short video from the family beach day on her Instagram Stories, which seemingly featured a rare snippet of Princess Lilibet’s voice. Toward the end of the clip, a child’s voice animatedly exclaims as the waves roll in.

While always careful not to show her children’s faces, Meghan has posted more photos of her kids — Princess Lilibet and her 6-year-old brother, Prince Archie — since relaunching her Instagram page in early 2025.

For Valentine’s Day last month, she posted a pic of Lilibet and Prince Harry, with their matching red hair, hugging and holding a bunch of heart-shaped balloons.

“These two + Archie = my forever Valentines ♥️,” Meghan wrote in the caption.

Ahead of Christmas 2025, the family shared their most intimate family photo yet. The sweet shot showed the foursome outdoors at their Montecito, California, home, standing on a small bridge over a creek. Meghan bent down to hold both of Lili’s hands, while Harry wrapped Archie in a hug.

Archie and Lili also joined their parents to volunteer at Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA) just before Thanksgiving. The siblings were photographed helping to prepare food and pushing a trolley of items with Meghan and Harry.

Giving back, Meghan has said, is one of the most important lessons she and Harry try to impart on their children. They practice a sense of community and an understanding of the value of food, using their vegetable garden and a kid-sized farmer’s market stand at their Montecito home as a teaching tool.

“So you start from seed, and you watch it grow, and they wait. But with that, it’s like, now do you want to sell your harvest? And do you want to share it with our community?” Meghan said last July.

“I think that’s key for children to understand that, especially children who are very lucky to have a home that has privilege,” she continued. “You need to know that, just like manners, and taking care of the things around you, there is a value on things.
