Prince Charles’ Nickname For Meghan Markle Revealed
The couple have named their first daughter after the Duke of Sussex’s grandmother, the Queen, who is called Lilibet by members of the Royal Family.
Lilibet’s middle name is Diana, in honour of her ‘beloved great-grandmother,’ the Princess of Wales.
In a statement on the Duke and Duchess’ Archewell website, they stated: “On June 4, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili.
“She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe.
“Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
Lilibet is the Queen’s eleventh great-grandchild and is eighth in line to the throne.
Back in May 2019, Prince Harry and Meghan welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, before they stepped away from roles as Senior Royals.
The couple’s firstborn has recently turned two years old and to celebrate, a birthday post was uploaded onto the Archewell website.
