00:00Well, in the past few minutes, Meghan Markle has paid a sweet tribute to Princess Lilibet as she turns four today.

00:08Yep, she's taken to Instagram and shared a rare snap of them together, also wishing her a happy birthday.

00:15It comes just a day after the Duchess of Sussex said she'd love to go into business with her daughter in the future.

00:21That's all it is. Another money-making effort there. That's to make up for nobody buying her jam.

00:26I mean, do you really care if you see a picture of her kid or not?

00:28Well, you do. That's it.

00:30I'd like to see her face, to be honest.

00:32I don't. Now, back to Diana, of course, who was a real star and star icon or whatever.

00:38And one day I complimented her on her outfit that she was wearing and it was the same colour as the outfit you were wearing yesterday.

00:47Bottle green?

00:48No. RUC green. Royal Ulster Constabulary green, as she pointed out to me.

01:16And they went to boarding school or whatever it is.

01:28Oh, and she was so lovely by the sounds of things.

01:31She was film star status.

01:34I mean, you just saw her in a room and you would go...

01:36Wow.

01:37She's special, yeah.

01:38She's special.

01:38And I think whoever that was speaking in that report there saying...

01:41One of the designers, I think it was the designer of the wedding dress, saying it was just clothes or just a dress.

01:46But then Diana wore it and then it was something special.
