The girl was born in California, is also named after the queen, and is eighth in the line of succession to British royalty. This is how her parents received her.


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, announced Sunday that their second daughter was born Friday in Santa Barbara, California.

Her name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

"Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty the Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet.

Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, the Princess of Wales,

" according to the statement from the press secretary of the dukes.

"Lili is more than we could have imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we have felt around the world," the couple added.

Both the mother and her daughter are in good health after the delivery. 

Harry and Meghan Markle already have a son, Archie, who turned two years old last month.

The couple announced they were pregnant with Lili in February, months after the duchess made it public that she had suffered a miscarriage in July in an opinion piece published in November in The New York Times.

Markle explained that "losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable pain, experienced by many but few talk about."

The couple announced the sex of their second child during an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired in March.

Markle told Winfrey that they had no plans to have any more children and Harry stated that he was grateful to see his daughter's ultrasounds.

"Having any child, any one or two, would be amazing, but having a boy and then a girl, what more could you ask for?" Harry pointed out, "now we have our family. We have four of us and our two dogs. and it's great".

The newborn shares her middle name with her cousin, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, daughter of Prince William, Harry's brother.

He ranks eighth in the line of succession, after his older brother.

But unlike her brother, who was born while her parents were still living at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, England, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on American soil (and therefore has the nationality).

She is not the first daughter of the British royal family to be born in the United States.

Maud Windsor, daughter of Frederick and Sophie Winkelman, was born in Los Angeles in 2013, according to royal journalist Victoria Arbiter.

Frederick Winkelman is the son of the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
