The Duchess of Sussex shared a rare glimpse of her daughter, Princess Lilibet, four, as she marked the release of the second season of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. In an Instagram Story clip, posted by Meghan on Tuesday, the youngster can be seen peering at a personal gift from Prince Harry. Lilibet, whose flowing red hair is now waist-length, is spotted walking into the Sussexes' country-style kitchen at their Montecito home.
The gift in question that Lilibet admires is a framed black and white photograph of Meghan with her beloved late dog, Guy. Set to the tune of Mary Wells' classic song, My Guy, the Duchess captioned the footage: "Morning surprise from my husband."
Guy appears in both series of Meghan's show, which was filmed at a luxury home close to the Sussexes' mansion last summer.
Meghan adopted the beagle from a rescue centre in Canada in 2015, who had previously been placed in a kill shelter in Kentucky and given a few days to live.
When the former Suits star moved to the UK in 2017 following her engagement to Harry, Guy relocated with Meghan from Toronto.
Sadly, Guy passed away over the festive period in 2024, with the Duchess sharing her devastation in a touching tribute to the pooch.

There are also several dedications to the pup after a number of episodes, with the credits reading: "Special thanks, Guy."
Do Archie and Lilibet appear in the new series?
While the Sussex children do not appear in the show, Meghan shares several anecdotes about her kids throughout the eight episodes.
In episode three, Meghan sympathises with fashion designer Tan France, who explains he gets heartbroken if he is away from his two young children for more than a couple of days, as she discusses her own separation from Archie and Lilibet.

"I was," she adds before pausing "…not well."

Sharing more insights about her children, Meghan revealed that the youngsters "really want a cat", that her daughter is a fan of pink and likes chia seeds on her pancakes, while Archie is "the most tender, sweet, adorable child of all time".
