Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared two adorable new images of their daughter Lili in their new Netflix documentary.
The first three episodes of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new TV special launched on the streaming platform at 8am this morning.
Although her three-year-old son Archie has had a starring role in series thus far, Lili seems to have only appeared in two fleeting moments.
During the first episode, Meghan shared a series of images from the beginnings of the couple’s relationship to the present day.

In a photo montage, the Duchess of Sussex shared a black and white selfie of herself holding her daughter in what appears to be the nursery at her home in Montecito, California.
Meghan gave birth to her daughter Lilibet Diana, named after Prince Harry’s mother and grandmother, on June 4, 2021.
The image appears to have been taken just a few weeks later and shows the mother-of-two snuggling with her newborn, who is swaddled in a patterned blanket.
Offering a glimpse into Lili’s nursery, the room has been decorated with wildlife illustrations, including a squirrel above the door and tree branches around her changing table.

Another short clip shows Prince Harry reading a story to Lilibet and Archie on the sofa.
Meghan shared a photo of her son lying on her tummy when she was pregnant with her daughter Lili.
Later in the series, the couple also shared a black and white photo of Prince Harry kissing a newborn baby, believed to be Lili, on the nose.
Last August, the Duchess of Sussex gave fans a peek inside her office in Montecito, where she kept this portrait in a gold frame along with two other never-before-seen images.
In addition, another intimate moment shows Prince Harry reading a story to his daughter and son on the sofa at their home in California.
The images, which appear to have been taken by Meghan, show Harry’s daughter sitting on his lap as he holds the book in front of him.
Meanwhile, Archie, whose American accent is heard in an earlier clip, is seen perched to the side, also engrossed in the story.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex posted this photo of their daughter Lilibet to celebrate her first birthday in June 2022.

He also shared footage from a 1993 fishing trip he took with his father, Thomas Markle.
On the other side of the sofa, the couple’s dogs, rescue beagle Mia and her black Labrador, are seen napping in a sunny spot.
Until now, the couple had only shared two photos of their daughter, one marking her first birthday and one for her official Christmas family picture.
As the moving recording is played, Prince Harry says: “Equally, the most important thing is that we don’t repeat the same mistakes that our parents may have made.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Meghan Markle opened up about how her parents’ divorce affected her, explaining how she lived with her mother Doria Ragland, 66, during the week before spending weekends with her father, Thomas Markle, from 78.
Former makeup artist Doria and former cameraman Thomas met on the set of General Hospital and were married in 1979, before separating when Meghan was six.
Describing herself as a ‘daddy’s girl’ as a child, Meghan said: ‘I remember feeling lonely as a child and wanting to have more people around.
This prompted the Duchess to write about her experience as the daughter of divorced parents when she was 12 years old and a student at Immaculate Heart School in Los Angeles.
She explained: ‘One of the tasks was to write a poem about your life and I remember this poem to this day.
Reciting it word for word, Meghan began: ‘Two houses, two homes, two kitchens, two phones.
‘Two cars where I lie down, two places where I stay. Moving, moving here and there, from Monday to Friday, I am everywhere.
‘Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that bad, but it often makes me sad. I want to live that nuclear life with a happy father and his loving wife.
A picket fence, a fluffy dog, a fireplace with a burning log. But it’s not real, it’s just a dream, I can’t cry or even scream.
‘So here I sit with cat number three, life would be easy if there were two of me.’
He then proceeded to share a clip from a 1993 home movie of him going on a fishing trip with his father Thomas Markle.
She added: ‘My dad lived on his own, he had two adult children who had moved out of their house. I was daddy’s girl all my life and I was with him a lot.
After Thomas was unable to travel from his home in Mexico to Windsor for the couple’s 2018 wedding, the Duchess of Sussex wrote a letter to his father asking him to stop giving press interviews.
The 78-year-old says he never knew his grandchildren Archie, three, and Lili, one.
Elsewhere in the clip, Prince Harry talks about the effect the divorce from Princess Diana and Prince Charles had on him.
He explained: ‘I think most children who are the product of divorced parents have a lot in common, no matter what their background.
Being pushed from one place to another or maybe your parents are competitive, or you are in one place more than you want to be and you are in another less than you want to be.
There are all kinds of pieces in that.
Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ divorce was finalized in 1996 after being separated for four years.
