Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex! Prince Harry and former Meghan Markle have just become parents for the second time - and parents of a baby girl for the very first time.
On Sunday, the two announced their happy news to the world that on Friday they welcomed Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor to the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California.
Speaking of the monarch, Lili is the Queen's eleventh great-grandchild and Prince Charles' fifth grandchild.
As with any other information, it might be some time before the public knows more about the new bundle of joy. After all, Harry and Meghan have been protecting the privacy of their son Archie since his birth in May 2019.
Although Harry and Meghan have resigned as active royals and moved to the United States to start a new life in California, their two children, as well as Harry himself, remain in the line of succession to the British throne.
Harry is currently sixth in line, behind father Prince Charles, brother Prince William, nephew Prince George, niece Princess Charlotte and nephew Prince Louis. This makes Archie seventh and his little sister eighth.
The arrival of the newborn is just the latest in a royal family's baby boom this year. In February, Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named August. And in March, another cousin, Zara Tindell, welcomed her third child, her son Lucas.
Harry and Meghan thanked their fans for their support on Sunday.
A statement from them said: “The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they enjoy this special family time. "
