Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have welcomed their second child.
The couple, who are already parents to a 2-year-old named Archie, paid tribute to Harry’s late mother Princess Diana when naming their daughter.
A statement on behalf of the Sussexes’ press secretary read: “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.”
