The candid shots come just two weeks after former actress Meghan posted a series of pictures together with Harry during their wedding day to notch up their eighth wedding anniversary.
Pictures included behind-the-scenes shots of the official wedding portrait, a glimpse into the intimate reception hosted by now King Charles, and Prince Harry delivering a speech while Ms Markle loving looks on with a glass of champagne in her hand.
In a major snub, no images shared included any member of the royal family other than Harry.
She captioned both Instagram posts the same, “Eight years ago today...” with a sun and a moon emoji, and credited photographer Chris Allerton.
Lilibet is the exiled royal couple’s second child, two years younger than their eldest, Archie.
Apart from today’s images, she has also featured in online images posted by the Duchess around the couple’s Montecito mansion.
In one, captioned “Mama’s little helper”, she is seen inside a walk-in wardrobe, while Meghan is trying on a coat.
