Meghan Markle: daughter Lilibet Diana is not a princess but could become one
Unlike her cousins, Lilibet Diana, the daughter of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, will not wear a royal title. Data that could be reassessed in a few years.
She was born this Friday, June 4, with a first name heavy with meaning. Two days after the birth of their first daughter, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared the news with the world. Lilibet Diana was born in the strictest privacy, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. A birth that delighted the members of the Crown, who hastened to congratulate the Sussexes on social networks. If this birth is historic for the royal family, little Lili will not bear a title of nobility, unlike her cousins George, Charlotte and Louis.
Eighth in the order of succession to the British throne, Lilibet should not play a crucial role in the royal chessboard. While her big brother is referred to as Master Archie Harrison, the Sussex girl should be known as Miss Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, without the title of princess. But Lilibet will subsequently be able to obtain a title when Prince Charles becomes king, since she will then be the granddaughter of a monarch. The daughter of Meghan and Harry would also have the right to bear the title of "Lady", like Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of Prince Edward, the last son of Elizabeth II.
Harry's mother and grandmother honored
While the tensions between Prince Harry and members of his family are particularly sharp since the departure of the Sussexes in California, he nevertheless wanted to honor his grandmother by calling his daughter by the nickname given to Queen Elizabeth II . An attention that has no doubt touched the sovereign, who issued a statement to congratulate the Sussexes on this new addition to the family. For several months, rumors have been evoking the first name Diana to pay tribute to the late mother of Prince Harry ... Noises from the corridors which were confirmed with the arrival of Lilibet Diana!
