Meghan Markle has given fans a rare glimpse of daughter Princess Lilibet, 5, in a new Instagram video shared alongside an emotional reflection on her journey as an entrepreneur.
The Duchess of Sussex used the video to look back at the development of her As Ever brand, while also highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit she says has been part of her life since childhood.
Among a collection of old photographs and behind-the-scenes clips, Meghan included a sweet moment with Lilibet, offering viewers another brief glimpse of the young princess.

Meghan shares sweet moment with Lilibet
In the clip, Meghan and Lilibet appear to be making something together in the kitchen.
Lilibet can be seen stirring what appears to be a spread in a bowl as her mother asks what she thinks of what they have made.
“I think it’s beautiful,” the five-year-old replies.
Only part of Lilibet’s face is visible in the footage, reflecting the limited glimpses Meghan and Prince Harry have continued to share of their children.
Lilibet also appears elsewhere in the video wearing a beekeeper suit as Meghan shows her the honey produced by the family’s bees.

Meghan looks back on her entrepreneurial roots
The video was accompanied by a lengthy message in which Meghan recalled starting her first small business when she was around eight years old.
She said she made handmade scrunchies using her grandmother’s Singer sewing machine and sold them for $1 each. She also remembered selling Girl Scout cookies, running lemonade stands and working in a frozen yogurt shop, alongside what she described as “countless other jobs.”
Looking back at those early experiences, Meghan said her entrepreneurial spirit had always been present.
She also referenced a line she had previously shared on The Tig: “Behind every successful woman is herself.”
However, Meghan said there was more to her own experience, highlighting the importance of a supportive community, friends and an effective team.
As she prepares to introduce As Ever’s holiday collection, Meghan said she felt “very proud, and grateful” when reflecting on how far the brand had grown.
She also thanked her team at @aseverofficial for helping turn her vision into reality.

Doria and Prince Harry feature in the video
The montage also appears to pay tribute to Meghan’s family.
Several photographs show Meghan with her mother, Doria, while Prince Harry makes an appearance in another clip, looking on as his wife examines her As Ever products.
The family moments add a personal element to what is otherwise a promotional look at Meghan’s business journey.
The video comes as As Ever prepares to launch its holiday products, including an Advent calendar priced at around $112.
A wider holiday collection is also expected, although the brand’s products remain unavailable to customers in the UK.

Meghan and Harry’s return to Britain
The update comes after Meghan and Prince Harry, along with their children, moved back to Britain in August, marking their first return to living in the country since 2020.
The couple are believed to be living in a home outside London.
Although Meghan has been seen out in public since returning, she has not yet undertaken any official public engagements.
For now, her latest appearance has come through Instagram, where she combined a look back at her childhood ambitions with an intimate glimpse of life with her young daughter.
