Meghan Markle has shared a rare selection of photos to mark the New Year, featuring a glimpse of Princess Lilibet.

The Duchess of Sussex posted the celebratory photo montage on Instagram on January 1, which also includes a loved-up snap with her husband Prince Harry.

“January: Reset & Rituals,” Meghan captioned the New Year Instagram post, which she shared on her As Ever brand account and also plugged on her personal account.

The stunning collection of photos features a gorgeous view of a stunning garden and some beautiful flower displays. Meghan has also showcased some of her As Ever products: one of the brand’s candles, a mug of herbal tea next to a hamper of goodies and a glass of bubbly.

There is also a picture of Meghan penning a good morning message in impressive calligraphy next to a board of waffles, which she revealed to be one of her young children’s “favourite breakfast”, as well as a candid of Meghan herself in the garden.

But two black and white family photos particularly stand out. One shows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes, hand in hand. Another captures Meghan carrying a basket through her garden, with little Princess Lilibet perched on her hip.

As usual, the four-year-old’s face is hidden from view, but the mother and daughter appear to be wearing matching hats.

Meghan Markle’s New Years celebrations

Earlier this week, Meghan gave fans a sneak peek into her family’s New Year’ celebrations.

In her brand As Ever’s latest newsletter, she revealed how she was planning on ringing in 2026. Titled “pop the bubbly”, the message included a link to Meghan’s As Ever wine collection.

“When the clock strikes midnight, we’ll be celebrating right along with you. Glasses raised, bottles of bubbly popping, and confetti in the air – only in our case, it’s Flower Sprinkles falling instead,” she wrote.

Flower Sprinkles are of course one of the duchess’ As Ever products, for sale at $15 per tin, described as “confetti for your plating”.

“A crisp pour of Brut, a joyful toast and a wish from us to you: may the year ahead be full of good company, memorable nights, and plenty of reasons to celebrate,” Meghan continued, finishing up with the rhyme: “Cheers, dears!”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to have celebrated the festive season at home in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
