If the face of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's second child has not yet been revealed, little Lilibet has been presented to the Queen.
This is great news for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. On June 4, their family grew with the birth of their second child. Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born at 11:40 a.m. in Los Angeles. Her first name pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II, whose nickname it is, but also to the late mother of Princes Harry and William, Lady Diana. If the face of little Archie's sister is still unknown to the general public, the monarch had the privilege of discovering her great-granddaughter as soon as the couple returned from the hospital.
The daughter of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who has already made history as the first child of the senior royals to be born in America, met the Queen via a video call. In any case, this is what People magazine reveals, this Tuesday, June 8. The couple, who had shared the baby's name before he was born to the Queen, seemed eager to introduce Lilibet to the Sovereign. She is therefore the only person in the British royal family to have met the newborn from a distance. In discussion with Jill Biden, Kate Middleton had confirmed this week not to have had the chance to meet her niece.
A controversial first name
Only a few hours after the birth of Lilibet, rumors began to invade the Web concerning his first name. A main source from the Palace had told the BBC that the Sussex couple had not consulted the Queen before naming their daughter in her honor. However, a spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quickly countered this false information. “The Duke spoke with his family before the announcement. His grandmother was the first family member he called. During this conversation he shared their hope to name their daughter Lilibet in his honor. If she didn't agree, they wouldn't have used the name, "the spokesperson said.
