Princess Lilibet has the most adorable bond with her elder brother, Prince Archie, and we have the proof.
In a sweet family photo shared by the Duchess of Sussex to mark Archie's seventh birthday on Wednesday, the barefoot sibling duo were pictured holding hands while enjoying time together on the beach.

One thing that couldn't go unnoticed in the update was the brother-sister duo's striking red hair, which shone brilliantly under the beating rays of the Californian sunshine.

Royal milestones
Archie's milestone came amid a series of big moments for his royal family members overseas.
The young Prince turned seven less than a week after his cousin, Princess Charlotte, turned 11. Charlotte's younger brother, Prince Louis, had turned eight the previous week.
Meanwhile, Archie's birthday came amid the news that Princess Eugenie announced the exciting news that she is expecting her third child.
Buckingham Palace announced the joyful news in a statement on Monday: "Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.

The mother-of-two also took to social media to share the news, posting an adorable photograph of her two sons looking at a scan of the baby, with the caption: "Baby Brooksbank due 2026!" followed by a series of hearts and a baby emoji.
