7 Jun, 2021

Congratulations are in order for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry who just became parents for the second time! The world’s most famous royal couple welcomed a daughter on Friday (4 June), much to the delight of their well-wishers.

They announced the birth as well as the unique name of their daughter in a press statement released on Sunday (6 June).

“It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world,” the statement read.

Parents of two, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry took to their Archwell website to share more details of their daughter’s arrival.

Lili – as she is already fondly being called –was born on a Friday at 11.40am “in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA,” the statement read.

They also shared that the baby weighs 7 lbs 11 oz, and that both mother and child were healthy and well. Adding, that since her birth the fab four “are settling at home with the new addition to their family of four.” 

Baby Lili is the couple’s second child and first daughter. Their son and first child Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is now two years old. 

Well Wishes Pour In From The Royal Family 

Following the announcement yesterday, members of the British Royal family shared their happiness and congratulated the new parents.

From the reigning Monarch to Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, all senior royals expressed their ‘delight.’ 

As a Buckingham spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday that The Queen as well as other senior royals including Prince Charles, Duchess of Cornwall Camilla, Prince William and Catherine, HRH the Duchess of Cambridge are “delighted” about the arrival of the couple’s baby daughter.

Here’s a post from the Instagram handle The Royal Family, one that represents the Her Majesty the Queen.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have also chosen a significantly unconventional name for their daughter – one that is an ode to two very important women in their lives. The name Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is derived from Her Majesty the Queen and The Princess of Wales. 

The Queen’s family nickname is ‘Lilibet’ which inspired Lili’s first name while her middle name ‘Diana’ was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother Princess Diana.

As a message of thanks, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex write, “On June 4th we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”

We wish them happiness and health in this wonderful time.
