Prince Harry and Meghan Markle treated Princess Lilibet to a Disneyland trip for her fourth birthday last week.

However, it wasn’t a cheap day out for Harry and Meghan, with the eye-watering cost seemingly emerging.

Did Harry and Meghan go to Disneyland?

Yes, for their daughter Princess Lilibet‘s fourth birthday, the Sussexes embarked on a trip to Disneyland. Lilibet turned four on June 4.

Meghan documented the family’s trip to the most magical place on Earth with a video on Instagram.

In the video, Lilibet and Prince Archie, six, can be seen excitedly walking around the park, meeting iconic Disney characters.

Meghan, 43, also shared pictures and clips of the family enjoying the rides, including Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters, Cars-themed Radiator Springs Racers, and Dumbo the Flying Elephant. Harry, 40, and Meghan even took a ride on Space Mountain.

In another picture, Harry and Meghan enjoyed a log flume water ride with their kids. It saw Archie and Lilibet sat between Harry and Meghan in a log flume.

It mirrored a moment Harry shared with his late mother Princess Diana and brother Prince William in 1993. The trio were pictured on a log flume ride at Walt Disney World in Florida.

Meanwhile, another photo in Meghan’s recent post showed her and Harry watching a Star Wars show alongside Archie.

They probably had lunch either in Walt’s apartment or in Club 33, which is a very exclusive Disney club.

Royal fans also got a glimpse at Lilibet’s stunning, two-tier Little Mermaid-themed cake.

“Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” Meghan captioned the heartwarming post.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s trip to Disneyland

Now, it’s been reported just how Harry and Meghan were able to walk around Disneyland and go on the rides undisturbed by the public.

“Celebrity guests are typically driven around by a personal tour guide backstage so they don’t have to go through the crowds in the park and [they get to] use cast member entrances backstage to enter the rides,” an insider told HELLO! magazine.

“The picture that was taken of them on the balcony was Walt [Disney’s] apartment above the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and they were would have been able to tour the apartment as well. And they probably had lunch either in Walt’s apartment or in Club 33, which is a very exclusive Disney club,” they continued.

The source added that the family would have been able to ask the guide to “bring them snacks” and “escort them anywhere they want to go”.

A trip like this won’t come cheap. According to HELLO!, a reservation fee for the service typically costs between $4k-$7k (£2.9k-£5k).

Piers Morgan takes a swipe

The family picture of the Sussexes outside Walt Disney’s apartment saw Meghan cover Archie and Lilibet’s faces with love heart emojis, protecting their identities.

However, Piers Morgan – a longtime critic of Meghan and Harry – took umbrage with this, taking to his X account to take a swipe at the duchess.

“Celebrities that constantly post pix of their kids to promote their parenting credentials, but block their faces out like this to pretend they care about their privacy, make me chuckle. We see you..,” he tweeted. [Sic]

“Just let them live their lives, Piers,” one follower replied.
