The Duchess of Sussex posted the new footage while looking back at the experiences that shaped her entrepreneurial journey. Alongside childhood memories and behind-the-scenes scenes from her lifestyle brand As Ever, five-year-old Lilibet made a brief but memorable appearance.
In the clip, Meghan and her daughter appear to be preparing a fruit spread together. Meghan works near the stove while Lilibet stands nearby with a bowl and wooden spoon.
Meghan asks her daughter what she thinks of their creation, prompting Lilibet to give a simple and sweet response: “I think it’s beautiful.”
The brief exchange offered followers something the Sussex family rarely shares publicly, a chance to hear Lilibet speaking while spending an ordinary moment with her mother.
Rather than placing her daughter fully in front of the camera, Meghan kept the glimpse limited. The young princess is only partially visible, continuing the family's generally private approach to showing their children publicly.
Lilibet also appears in another moment connected to beekeeping, adding to the family atmosphere running through the video.
But Meghan's post was not only about her daughter. It also connected her life today with the ambitions she says began when she was a child.
The Duchess recalled starting a small venture at around eight years old, making handmade scrunchies with her grandmother's sewing machine. She also remembered selling Girl Scout cookies, running lemonade stands and later working at a frozen yogurt shop.
Those memories gave the new footage with Lilibet an added layer of meaning. Meghan is now watching her daughter at roughly the same stage of childhood when she says her own entrepreneurial interests were beginning to develop.
- Meghan Markle shared a rare new video featuring Princess Lilibet.
- The five-year-old was seen helping her mother while they prepared a fruit spread.
- Meghan connected the family moment with memories of her own childhood ambitions.
- Prince Harry and Doria Ragland also appeared in memories included in the video.
- The post arrived as Meghan celebrated the latest holiday launch from As Ever.
The video moves between past and present, showing childhood images of Meghan as well as scenes connected with the development and preparation of As Ever products.
Her mother, Doria Ragland, appears in older photographs from Meghan's Girl Scout years. Prince Harry also makes an appearance in the montage, giving the post a wider family connection rather than focusing solely on Meghan's business.
Meghan used the accompanying message to reflect on another lesson she has learned along the way: personal determination matters, but support from other people matters too.
She credited the community and team around her as she reflected on the growth of As Ever and thanked those who helped turn the brand from an idea into a growing business.
The timing of the personal post is also significant. Meghan shared it as As Ever rolled out its 2026 holiday collection, bringing her childhood memories, family life and current business project together in a single story.
Among the festive offerings is a limited-edition Advent calendar created with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. The design draws inspiration from Meghan and Harry's Montecito home and garden, adding another personal element to the brand's holiday range.
Still, it was Lilibet's understated cameo that stood out from the polished product scenes and nostalgic photographs.
For royal followers accustomed to seeing very little of Prince Harry and Meghan's children, the brief kitchen exchange provided an unusually intimate glimpse into their family life.
And Meghan's wider message suggested that the moment represented more than a cute appearance. By placing memories of her own childhood beside scenes of Lilibet learning and creating with her, the Duchess highlighted how interests, confidence and curiosity can begin with surprisingly small experiences at home.
