The announcement also shared the sweet meaning behind the royal baby’s name. Lilibet is Prince Harry’s grandmother’s childhood nickname, while Lili’s middle name is, of course, a nod to his mother, the late Princess Diana.
“Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.
“This is the second child for the couple, who also have a two-year-old son named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they enjoy this special time as a family.”
