Princess Lilibet and Princess Charlotte have a shared love of the stuffed animal brand Jellycat.
Lilibet was seen in an Instagram video last summer holding one of their Amuseables Rainbow Bags.
Charlotte, for her part, even posed with one of the brand's stuffed bunnies in some of her first-ever royal portraits.
Princess Lilibet may be growing up thousands of miles from her cousin Princess Charlotte, but the two young royals still share at least one thing in common: their affinity for the British stuffed animal brand Jellycat. Lilibet, who lives in Montecito, California alongside her brother Prince Archie, loves the toy so much that it has even appeared in her mom Meghan Markle's Instagram posts. Last summer, for example, Lilibet could be seen in a video touting one of Jellycat's Amuseables Rainbow Bags with her long red hair on full display.

"A little behind the scenes of @aseverofficial," Meghan wrote in her accompanying caption. "Hope you enjoy your treats when they arrive this week!" The video also included shots of the mother-daughter duo foraging for berries and of the duchess dishing out some of her world-famous jam.
Charlotte, for her part, is also a confirmed Jellycat fan—she posed with one of their stuffed bunnies in some of her first-ever royal portraits. Last May, meanwhile, her parents Kate Middleton and Prince William were gifted two Jellycats at a Buckingham Palace garden party. William's response indicated that Charlotte and her brothers would be thrilled: "My children will love these," he said. "They are children's currency."

The Jellycats were a gift from the family of Liz Hatton, a 17-year-old photographer who passed away from cancer in November 2024. Her parents Aaron and Vicky Robayna and her little brother Mateo gave William and Kate a tarte au citron plush and a pickled onion plush. The latter present, Mateo explained, was chosen because "Liz loved all things pickled."

William and Kate had previously met with Liz at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle the month before she died. "A pleasure to meet with Liz at Windsor today," the royal couple wrote on Instagram at the time. "A talented young photographer whose creativity and strength has inspired us both. Thank you for sharing your photos and story with us. ❤️ W&C."
