Meghan Markle reveals daughter Lilibet's love of Beyonce in rare behind-the-scenes photos from family life with Prince Harry

By BRIAN MARKS, US ASSISTANT SHOWBUSINESS EDITOR and MAANYA SACHDEVA, ASSOCIATE LIFESTYLE EDITOR Meghan Markle revealed daughter Lilibet's love of pop superstar Beyoncé while giving fans a rare glimpse at family life with Prince Harry on Tuesday. The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex, who has struggled lately with sales of her As Ever products, posted to Instagram a series of moody black-and-white snapshots and verdant images of the grounds of what appeared to be the family's home in Montecito, California. The couple moved to the secluded mansion in 2020, after moving on from their British home at Frogmore Cottage earlier that year. One image showed five-year-old Lilibet wearing a T-shirt featuring a drawing of Beyoncé with the phrase 'B if for Beyoncé' scrawled across the front of it. The $48 shirt is sold by the National Women's History Museum with a portrait by 10-year-old child artist Pearl, per the website. Lilibet's face was completely cropped out of the adorable shot as to protect her privacy from Markle's 4.6 million followers. Meghan Markle reveals daughter Lilibet's love of Beyonce in rare behind-the-scenes photos from family life with Prince Harry on Tuesday; the couple seen in 2025  Meghan's personal connection to Beyoncé goes back to 2019, when the famous women first met face-to-face at the premiere of Disney's live-action Lion King adaptation. At the time, Elle reported that the Duchess of Sussex was 'nervous' to be meeting one of her idols, and Billy Eichner, who costarred with Beyoncé in the film, also revealed that the hitmaker had her own case of nerves before they met. But the meeting went smashingly, and Beyoncé said of Harry and Meghan afterward that they were 'so sweet.' The two reportedly had a moment to commiserate about their young children and even shared a quick hug, and Beyoncé was heard to say 'We love you guys' to Meghan and Harry. Another image revealed Harry in his element as he and Markle's son Prince Archie, seven, played around on the grounds. A beaming Prince Harry had a comically oversized soccer ball that was large enough for him to roll with his hands as Archie appeared to swoop in for the kick. Among the most striking images was a tasteful black-and-white photo of herself and Harry embracing. The two were pictured from behind in athletic clothing as they sat next to each other while Meghan draped an arm over Harry's shoulder and affectionately nuzzled her head against his neck. But the romantic aura was dimmed a bit by the fact that she had snapped a picture of the photo from a computer screen – as revealed by a cursor hovering over the image and surrounding text – rather than uploading the original. She stuck to the black-and-white theme with another photo of herself in a striped button-up blouse and white linen skirt as she appeared to take a nap in the sun.  Meghan was lying on the grass just off a stone path, with a basket of greens and flowers next to her and a large straw sun hat covering her face. She gave her fans a look into her kitchen in a short video shot over her shoulder that showed her preparing what might have been the supplies for a pasta sauce.  Meghan had cheese, garlic and packs of beef laid out, along with large cans of tomatoes.

One sweet snap featured her beloved rescue beagle Guy as he napped on a stone path with some bushes giving him a bit of shade. Two before-and-after photos highlighted the wildlife on her and Harry's estate. The before photo showed a tucked-away bird's nest with three eggs, while the after shot showed the three fuzzy gray–blue birds as they cuddled up together. She also added some color with a photo of a basket full of produce, including apples, peaches, heirloom tomatoes, carrots and artichokes, along with a jar of her As Ever jam.  Meghan shared her photos shortly after it was revealed that she had 'just under 400,000 American visitors' to her As Ever website since the beginning of the year, after a website glitch in January 'inadvertently revealed' vast amounts of unsold inventory.  While no sales data for the brand has been published since its launch in 2025, internet sleuths exploited the glitch earlier this year to discover over 650,000 units of products like jams and flower sprinkles.  For example, her Signature Fruit Spread Box had a total of 137,465 units available, which many Reddit users initially gleefully pounced upon as a sign of flagging sales.

Commenting on the figures, a source with knowledge of As Ever told Newsweek that the brand is set to 'double in size', adding: 'By any measure, for any startup, you can't deny that is anything but a success.'  The Daily Mail has reached out to the Sussexes' representatives for comment.   The comments below have not been moderated.
