Meghan took to Instagram to share a series of snaps from young Lilibet’s birthday bash at Disneyland in California.

The sweet pictures show the family, donning Minnie Mouse ears, riding a slew of different rides, as well as celebrating the special day with a Little Mermaid cake.

Peggy Lee’s It’s A Good Day soundtracks the pictures, with Meghan captioning the post: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!"

Young Archie can be seen in the pictures, enjoying the Star Wars-themed section of the park.

In one snap, Lilibet is seen sharing a moment with a Disney cast member dressed as Elsa, from the hit film Frozen.

Both children have their faces covered in all of the pictures.

It comes after the Duchess of Sussex shared a never-before-seen video of herself and Harry dancing before the birth of their daughter Lilibet.

Posting on Instagram on the day of her daughter's fourth birthday, the duchess offered her followers a peek behind the curtain with footage from the day of the young princess's birth.

In the clip, a heavily pregnant Meghan begins dancing next to a hospital bed while the track Baby Mama by Starrkeisha plays in the background.

Harry then glides into shot and shows off his best moves before sliding out of view again.

The Duchess captioned the post: "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn’t work - there was only one thing left to do!"

Earlier in the day, Meghan shared a heartfelt tribute to her young daughter.

Sharing several exclusive pictures of Lilibet with her parents, Meghan wrote:"Daddy’s little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!"

One of the snaps shows a windswept Meghan cuddling Lili on her lap while the pair are sat on a boat.

Another captured the mother-of-two cradling her newborn baby in 2021, while a further two showed the princess with Harry.

Lili was born on June 4, 2021, in California and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor - after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
