Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Name New Daughter After Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's family just got a little bit bigger! On June 4, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their second child and first daughter in Santa Barbara, CA. There was plenty of excitement and anticipation around the baby's name since Meghan and Harry announced they were expecting a girl, and the couple chose a deeply personal family name for their daughter: Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

Lili is named for both her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and for her late grandmother, Princess Diana. The queen is known among her family and dear friends as "Lilibet." This sweet nod affirms the connection Harry has often talked about with both of these powerful matriarchs. In fact, he made sure his mother's memory played a role in Lili's life, from the moment he and Meghan announced her pregnancy.

Lili joins older brother Archie, who was born in 2019. Congrats to the new family of four on this exciting news!
