Meghan Markle has given birth to her second child with Prince Harry.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced the birth of their daughter and revealed the heartfelt name they gave her, which pays homage to both Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth.
The duo announced the birth through their press secretary over the weekend.
Their announcement also revealed the unique name they gave her, paying tribute to Harry's mom and grandma despite the earth-shattering family feud.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry named their newborn daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Lilibet is Queen Elizabeth's nickname. Diana is clearly a nod to Harry's beloved mom who died in 1997.
“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,” the statement from the press secretary for the Duke and Duchess said on Sunday.
"Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home," it read.
