Princess Lilibet made a pop-culture nod in new family photos shared by Meghan Markle on Instagram. The 5-year-old appeared in a white T-shirt printed with the phrase “B is for Beyoncé,” paired with an illustration of the music icon. According to People, Meghan posted the images with the caption “Springing into summer.” The update quickly drew attention for its relaxed family feel, with the Sussex household shown outdoors, at play, and surrounded by seasonal touches that gave the post a warm, personal tone.
Princess Lilibet Wears “B is for Beyoncé” Shirt
The clearest detail in the photo set was Lilibet’s shirt, which placed Beyoncé at the center of the family update. The image arrived just days after the young princess celebrated her fifth birthday on June 4. Meghan has shared only limited glimpses of her daughter over the years, which made the new picture stand out for royal watchers. Lilibet’s tee also linked the family once again to an artist they have publicly admired, while keeping the mood light and child-focused rather than formal.

Other photos in the Instagram carousel showed Prince Harry spending time with Prince Archie in the backyard. One image captured the father and son playing soccer with an oversized ball, adding a playful note to the post. The collection also included nature scenes and a basket filled with fruit and vegetables, alongside Meghan’s As ever jam. Together, the images painted a casual portrait of family life in California, far from palace routine, with the children’s activities and summer setting doing most of the storytelling.

The post did not focus only on the children. Meghan also included a black-and-white throwback image from 2017 featuring herself and Prince Harry. Another frame showed a handwritten note reading “the one and only,” giving the carousel a scrapbook feel. The mix of old and new images helped shape the post as more than a simple family album update. It blended present-day moments with a look back at the couple’s earlier years, tying their current home life to the start of their public relationship.
Meghan and Prince Harry’s Beyoncé Link Goes Back Years
The Beyoncé reference in Lilibet’s outfit fits a longer connection between the Sussexes and the singer. As reported by People, Meghan and Harry attended Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour stop at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in May 2025. Meghan wrote at the time, “About last night…. Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love,” Meghan told People Magazine. The couple also met Beyoncé at the 2019 premiere of The Lion King, making Lilibet’s shirt a small but clear callback.
