MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have welcomed their second child into the world.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had their second child at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on Friday at 11.40am – a daughter named Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Baby Lilibet is a nod to a nickname for the Queen when she was young, while her middle name is an ode to Princes Diana – Harry’s mother.
The new arrival is the Queen’s 11th great-grandchild, joining big brother Archie and Prince William‘s kids George, Charlotte and Louis.
The couple said in a statement: “It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world.
“Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz (3.5kg). Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home.”
