The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared two new photos of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, as they celebrate her fifth birthday.

The first image was of the couple smiling and embracing while Prince Harry holds Lilibet, and the second is of the princess with her hand on a flower in a garden.

“Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili,” Meghan wrote on Instagram.

Lilibet is the couple’s second child and is two years younger than her brother Archie.

Meghan recently called Lilibet “Mama’s little helper”, after posting an image of them in what looks like a walk-in wardrobe, where the duchess is trying on a coat while her daughter is crouched down nearby.

The latest images of the princess come two weeks after the duchess celebrated the couple’s eighth wedding anniversary, with a series of photographs of them from their big day.

Last month, they revealed they are to make a film based on a true story of British troops under siege during the Afghanistan war.

The couple’s production company, Archewell, is developing a feature film for Netflix based on the book No Way Out by Major Adam Jowett.

It comes after their relationship with Netflix was watered down last year.

After their previous contract ended last summer, it was replaced by a “first look deal”, which gives Netflix first refusal on any new proposed shows from the duke and duchess.

In April, the duke and duchess completed a four-day visit to the east coast of Australia in a private capacity as they are no longer working royals.

Their trip included focusing on Indigenous culture, Australian sport, multiple good causes and a trip to the Australia’s War Memorial.
