Princess Lilibet was seen carrying a £19.95 giraffe backpack from GoldBug, a female-owned children’s accessories label, in her mother’s latest Instagram update.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, shared the family moment from Montecito to mark Father’s Day, posting a picture of Prince Harry, 41, embracing their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.
“They’re so lucky to have you,” Meghan wrote alongside the image, adding: “We all are. Happy Father’s Day to our one and only.”
The photograph showed Archie and Lilibet from behind, with Lilibet’s playful animal-themed backpack standing out. The item comes from GoldBug, a brand led by philanthropist Katherine Gold.
Gold has also drawn attention for her company’s social impact work, making it the first in the US to fully fund a guaranteed income program for expectant mothers.
According to online retailer BDKids, the backpack also functions as a harness, designed to let a child explore while allowing parents to keep them close and safely guided.
Archie, meanwhile, appeared to show support for his father’s home team ahead of the World Cup, wearing an England FIFA World Cup 2026 T-shirt from Zara priced at £12.99.
Meghan’s post appeared only hours after royal birthday and Father’s Day messages were shared for Prince William, who turned 44.

It comes as Harry is reportedly set to take Meghan and his children on a rare visit to Britain next month.
The Duke of Sussex is expected to take his family to the UK for the first time in four years to attend the one-year countdown party for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
The children have not seen their grandfather King Charles III in person since their last trip in June 2022, for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The duchess has not made a prolonged trip to the UK since the late Queen’s funeral that September, apart from occasional stopovers in London for foreign tours.
Harry is said to be satisfied with security arrangements for the visit in mid-July and is now planning for Archie and Lilibet to make the trip from California.
The prince has seen his father just twice in two years, and is still thought to be waiting for a decision on what security provision he and his family are entitled to in Britain.
An image was also released yesterday to commemorate the Prince of Wales’s birthday and Father’s Day.
It showed the William and his daughter Charlotte in the garden at Kensington Palace after Trooping the Colour, King Charles’s official birthday parade, last Saturday.

A grinning William is seen in the snap with his arm wrapped around the shoulders of a beaming Charlotte.
‘Happy birthday and Father’s Day to the best Papa in the World! We love you very much’ the caption reads, signed off by Kate Middleton, Charlotte, George and Louis with a heart emoji.
An image of King Charles and Prince William was also posted on the Royal Family’s official X account to mark the occasion, alongside the simple caption: ‘Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales’.
The photo of the father and son was taken in October 2025 during a rare joint public appearance at the Natural History Museum in London for Countdown to COP30.
It was posted just minutes after Charles paid tribute to Prince Philip to mark Father’s Day.
A poignant image of a young Charles standing with his father was also posted on the Royal Family’s official X account.
Wearing Royal Air Force service dress uniforms, the monarch and the late Duke of Edinburgh are pictured standing next to each other, with a caption reading: ‘Celebrating all Fathers, and thinking of those who wish they could be with their Dads, today’.
