- Story Text: With headlines such as 'Our Lil' Princess' and 'A Gran Gesture', Britain's tabloid newspapers celebrated on Monday (June 7) the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's second child, a girl, whom they have named after Queen Elizabeth and the late Princess Diana.
Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Friday (4 June) at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California, with Harry in attendance.
The couple's first child, Archie, was born in 2019.
The choice of name pays tribute to the queen after a difficult year for the couple, and the wider royal family. Lilibet is a family nickname for the 95-year-old British monarch.
Buckingham Palace said the queen, Harry's father Prince Charles and his brother and wife, Prince William and Kate, were delighted with the news. Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson joined them in sending his congratulations.
Both mother and baby - who is eighth in line to the throne - were doing well and were back at home, their press secretary said.
The birth of Lilibet comes almost a year and a half after Harry and Meghan announced that they intended to step down from their royal roles, plunging the family into crisis.
