The baby was born on Friday 4 June in a California hospital. The Dukes of Sussex are already parents of Archie, 2 years old
She was born the second daughter of Harry and Meghan. The girl's name is Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, reports the BBC. The couple already have a 2-year-old son, Archie. The baby was born on Friday, June 4 in a hospital in Santa Barbara, California. The news was released yesterday afternoon by her parents. Respected, at least in part, the predictions of the British media and bookmakers, who took for granted the inclusion of Diana in the name of the child, in homage to the prince's mother. No surprise also for the choice of Lillibet, the name with which Prince Philip addressed Queen Elizabeth.
The meaning of the name Lilibet Diana
"Lilibet" is in fact a tribute to Queen Elizabeth, Harry's grandmother, who as a child was lovingly called with this nickname by members of the royal family. Not only. That was also the name of her beloved husband Philip, who passed away in recent months, so much so that Elizabeth II left a handwritten note signed "Lilibet" on the prince's coffin.
The girl's middle name pays homage to Lady Diana, the beloved mother of Prince Harry, who died in the tragic car accident in 1997 in Paris. Prince William and Kate Middleton had already decided to give the second child the name of Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
Harry and Meghan: "A special moment for us"
The people of Sussex announced the baby's birth with an official note full of love and gratitude: "On June 4th we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could ever have imagined and we remain grateful. for the love and prayers we have heard from all over the world. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family. "
