The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have welcomed their second child - a baby daughter named Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Prince Harry and Meghan announced that the infant, a first sibling for Archie, was born on Friday in California.
Lili is named after her great-grandmother the Queen - who was affectionately nicknamed Lilibet by her family - and her grandmother, the late Princess Diana.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: "The Queen, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been informed and are delighted with the news of the birth of a daughter for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex."
Lili is the first of the Queen's great-grandchildren to be born outside the UK.
A statement from the couple's press secretary said that she was born at 11.40am on Friday "in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California".
She weighed 7lbs 11oz (3.5kg) and her and Meghan are said to be "healthy and well, and settling in at home".
"Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet," the statement added.
"Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.

Sucking up to the Queen after all the drama they caused?
They didn’t honor the Queen!....they would have named their child Elizabeth if that was the intention.
Lilibet was a private pet name given by Philip .to Elizabeth
.......HarMeg is always stepping on people, they don’t care who they hurt!
Can you imagine how much money she’ll suck out of the Royals when she eventually divorces this jerk?
> Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor <
Shouldn’t Oprah’s name be in there somewhere?
These two lowlifes are quite impressed with themselves.
Poorest spelling of Elizabeth yet.
House of Windsor ain’t never picked no cotton...yo
I can’t stand these two attention whore grifters.
Shoulda named her Aretha, after the Queen of Soul.
Why are they referred to as ‘Royalty’ ?
Meghan is soon to roll over to 40...her clock was ticking...The article said, this is the first of Archie’s siblings ....probably his only sibling... ya think?
Just wondering..
Sounds like a “woke” name.
Or maybe something out of the hood.
Exactly.
According to her father and a classmate, she's 44.
I bet this hurts the Queen and it was deliberate. The nickname was between her and Phillip. Nuff said.
That would be right in line with their manipulations/lies.
Okay...I'm ready for a pic.
Who’s the father?
Classy of them since the parents are basically nonpersons. But why should the grandchildren suffer?!
