Meghan Markle Shares Rare Video of Princess Lilibet’s Voice

Meghan Markle has given fans a rare treat: a new clip of her 5-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, speaking. On October 6, the Duchess of Sussex posted an Instagram video celebrating the launch of her As Ever holiday collection, and tucked inside was a sweet kitchen moment — Lilibet helping her mom make fruit spread, and answering Meghan’s question with the words, “I think it’s beautiful.”

What happened in the new video?

The video, shared to Meghan’s Instagram on Tuesday, October 6, is a montage celebrating her “entrepreneurial spirit” as her lifestyle brand As Ever rolls out its 2026 holiday collection. Among the throwback photos and behind-the-scenes clips is a home-video moment of the mother and daughter in the kitchen.

Meghan stirs a pot on the stove while Lilibet, 5, works with her own bowl and spoon off to the side, helping make one of her mom’s signature fruit spreads. “What do you think, Lili?” Meghan asks. Lilibet replies, “I think it’s beautiful” — a rare moment of the young princess’s voice being heard publicly.

Meghan and Prince Harry keep their children’s faces out of the public eye, so even the partial glimpse — Lilibet’s long red curls and the lower half of her face as she peers into the bowl — is a notable share for fans.

Why did Meghan post the video?

The video was posted just before As Ever released the first part of its 2026 holiday collection. In her caption, Meghan reflected on how her entrepreneurial drive started young — at about eight years old, she was sewing handmade scrunchies on her grandmother’s Singer sewing machine and selling them for $1 apiece.

“I sold Girl Scout cookies, had lemonade stands, worked in a frozen yogurt shop and had countless other jobs. My entrepreneurial spirit was always there,” she wrote. She thanked her “amazing team” at As Ever, adding: “As I pinch myself looking at how this brand has grown, and as we introduce our holiday collection, I feel very proud, and grateful.”

The video also includes childhood photos of Meghan — including shots of her as a Girl Scout with her mother, Doria Ragland, who served as her troop leader — plus throwbacks to her eating raspberries as a child, and behind-the-scenes clips of As Ever products being made and packaged.

Who else appears in the video?

Prince Harry makes an appearance in the montage, standing over Meghan as she opens a box. The couple also share 7-year-old son Prince Archie. The Sussex family tends to keep their children away from cameras and rarely step out with them publicly — especially since relocating back to the U.K. in August, where Lilibet and Archie are enrolled in a British school. According to People, the family will keep their California home and their vacation property in Portugal.

What is in As Ever’s 2026 holiday collection?

Meghan’s lifestyle brand launched in April 2025 and is now entering its second holiday season. New offerings in the 2026 collection include a playing card set, a trio of Compartés chocolate bars, a chocolate-covered fruit box, and baskets of assorted fruit spreads and other products.

The headline item is a $148 limited-edition Advent calendar created with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. Designed to look like the front of the Sussexes’ Montecito home decorated for the holidays — complete with the property’s signature twin palm trees in the background — the calendar contains 24 chocolates in flavors like strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and orange marmalade, plus a special chocolate incorporating Meghan’s As Ever flower sprinkles. The numbers are hand-painted in calligraphy-inspired penmanship using edible gold luster.

Why is this video such a big deal for royal fans?

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are famously protective of their children’s privacy. Public glimpses of Lilibet’s voice are few and far between, which is why the kitchen clip has royal-watchers buzzing. It also offers a small window into family life after the couple’s move back to England — a move Page Six’s sources say was made to spend more time with King Charles III as he battles cancer.
