Meghan Markle shares rare look at daughter Lilibet’s face in Valentine’s Day post

Meghan Markle has shared a rare look at her daughter Lilibet in an Instagram post celebrating Valentine's Day.

Depending on your level of cynicism yesterday was the chance for all loved-up couples everywhere to get sickeningly saccharine about each other, or for people to remember how wonderful it is to be in love and celebrate it.

It's also a good chance for restaurants and florists to charge a veritable fortune, but it's nice to treat each other regularly.

Anyhow, one of those sharing a Valentine's Day post was Meghan Markle, who posted a picture of her husband Prince Harry holding their daughter Lilibet and captioned it: "These two + Archie = my forever Valentines"

That's very nice for them, and a rare look at their daughter who is currently seventh in line to the British throne.

Markle has been clear about protecting her children's privacy, with many of the pictures she posts on social media featuring them with their faces obscured or having them looking away.

She did recently show their faces in a Halloween post during a visit to a pumpkin patch but in general they're kept out of the public eye.

Speaking to CBS previously, Meghan explained why she didn't want to often show her children's faces online.

"Our kids are young... They're amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them.

"And so, as we can see what's happening in the online space, we know that there's a lot of work to be done there, and we're just happy to be able to be a part of change for good."

They're just one of many families who appear to have recognised that sharing every aspect of your child's life on the internet is not a good idea.

It's a growing trend for people not to show much of their children online, beyond perhaps the fact they have them.

What's on the internet tends to stay there for a long time so by rarely showing her children's faces Markle is able to control what images of her children get out.

Elsewhere in her life Meghan Markle is set to return to the world of acting as she's set to appear in the upcoming film Close Personal Friends, at least according to Deadline.

She had previously said she was 'done' with acting, though while it wasn't her intention she had added that you should 'never say never'.
