Princess Lilibet's latest outfit is winning hearts for more than one reason. The five-year-old daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared in a sweet new photograph shared on Instagram by her mother, and eagle-eyed royal fans quickly noticed the meaningful detail hidden in her casual look.
In the candid image, Lilibet wore a cream-coloured T-shirt featuring a hand-drawn portrait of Beyoncé, complete with the words "B is for Beyoncé" across the front.
The charming top, which retails for $48, is sold by the Women's History Project and was designed by a mother-and-daughter team in the United States.

The sustainable design is made from a blend of polyester, organic cotton and rayon, with fibres created from recycled plastic bottles.

Over the years, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared several public interactions with Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z, while Meghan has previously spoken about the support she received from the singer.

While Meghan has become increasingly active on Instagram in recent months, she continues to carefully protect her children's privacy, typically sharing photographs from behind or obscuring their faces.
The latest image focused on Lilibet's outfit and strawberry-blonde hair, which she inherited from her father.
The post comes just days after Meghan delighted fans with another rare look at her daughter as she turned five. "Our dream girl. Happy 5th birthday, Lili," Meghan captioned the Instagram photos, which appear to have been taken at their home in Montecito, the Chateau of Riven Rock.
In the whimsical photo taken outside as Lilibet admired the flowers, the barefoot five-year-old wore a Cult Gaia beige dress with a shirred top and a summery skirt featuring embroidered flowers. The sold-out frock, known as the 'Lola', was first debuted by Lilibet in March when she was spotted whispering to her mother and sitting under the table in a behind-the-scenes video for Meghan's As Ever brand.
And in another photograph shared on May 16, Lilibet appeared alongside her mother inside what looked to be Meghan's walk-in wardrobe. The little princess wore a coordinated red outfit complete with a matching scrunchie as she sat on the floor while Meghan snapped a mirror selfie.
"Mama's little helper," Meghan captioned the image, suggesting her daughter was lending a hand while she prepared outfits.
Earlier this year, the Duchess also included Lilibet in a Valentine's Day tribute to her family.
One touching image showed Prince Harry holding his daughter, who was dressed in a pink ballet tutu and tights while clutching a bundle of red heart-shaped balloons.
The photograph also highlighted the youngster's distinctive red hair, a trait she shares with her father and one that continues to fascinate royal watchers whenever new pictures emerge.
Meghan has previously spoken about the importance of creating a normal childhood for both Lilibet and her older brother Prince Archie, seven.

"When people say, 'Why didn't you film in your house?' Well, I have kids coming home for their nap, and 80 people in the kitchen isn't really the childhood memory I'd want for them to have," Meghan said.
