Kate Middleton shared her one adorable wish for her niece shortly after her birth. Princess Lilibet, the only daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, celebrates her fourth birthday today (June 4).

She was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California and lives in Montecito with her two parents and older brother, Archie. The family are not believed to keep regular contact with their royal relatives, with some members of the Firm having never met the Sussex children. As reported by HELLO!, royal correspondent Danielle Stacey said: “It has never been officially confirmed whether the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have met Princess Lilibet.”
