Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have announced the birth of new daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
In what may be seen as an olive branch to the royal family after the recent stir caused by the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interviews, the child’s first name was chosen as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname is Lilbet. Also honored with a middle name was her late grandmother Diana, the Princess of wales.
