A new addition joined the royal family as Pince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle welcomed their second child, Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on Friday, June 4.

In a statement on Sunday, June 6, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed that little Lili was born at 11:04 weighing 3.5kg at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California, where they live with their two-year-old son, Archie Harrison.

They have been living in the United States following their decision to quit their royal duties early last year.

“Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty the Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, the Princess of Wales,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth II and her family are overjoyed with the birth of a daughter to Harry and Meghan.


The baby, who will be eighth in line to the throne was also welcomed by other members of the royal family.
