Meghan and Harry welcome daughter, Lilibet Diana

Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Friday morning at a hospital in Santa Barbara, California. The spokesperson for the couple said on Sunday that Lili was born at 11:40 a.m. and weighed 7 lbs, 11 oz.  

Prince Harry and Meghan named the baby girl Lilibet after Queen Elizabeth’s family nickname. Her middle name, Diana, was selected as an ode to her late grandmother, Princess Diana.  

 

“The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been informed and are delighted with the news,” a statement from Buckingham Palace read.

Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.” 

Prince Harry and Meghan welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in May 2019, a year after they were married at Windsor Castle.
