It's now been almost a week since Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor came into the world, and her older brother Archie is apparently adjusting very well to the new normal.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes told Town & Country that Archie is "very happy to have a little sister." With the arrival of Lili, Harry and Meghan's family is now complete; the Duchess confirmed to Oprah earlier this year that "two is it."
Archie just celebrated his second birthday last month—he was born on May 6, 2019, making Lili just a little more than two years younger than her big brother.
"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," began the official birth announcement. "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." In the same statement, the couple confirmed that Lili is named both for her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname has long been Lilibet, and for her late grandmother, Princess Diana.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes shared a personal note on their Archewell website, in which they called their newborn daughter "more than we could have ever imagined." The note also confirmed that both Harry and Meghan would be taking parental leave, and asked that anyone wishing to send gifts instead donate to one of several charities, including Girls Inc., Harvest Home, CAMFED or Myna Mahila Foundation.
