The news was now in the air and many were just waiting for the official announcement, which has finally arrived: Meghan and Harry have become parents for the second time (and apparently a few days earlier than expected, since the announcement was expected around 10 June): she’s born Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor.
This is the full name of the couple’s second child, who already seems to have the first nickname, “Lili”. As explained by the official announcement of Meghan Markle and Harry reported by the first magazines:
Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty the Queen who is nicknamed Lili in the family. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her late beloved grandmother, the Princess of Wales.
Of course, the middle name catches the eye homage to Harry’s mom, the “People’s Princess”: Diana. The NBC makes it known that the girl was born Friday at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California and that mom and daughter are already home, in perfect health. And the American media were the first to break the news, a sign that the Dukes of Sussex are now “their business”. Now, as usual, the official press release of Queen Elizabeth II is awaited.
Lili, just born, still does not know that – starting from her name – it could represent the will of Harry and Meghan in not wanting to close completely relations with the British Royal House from which they moved away, in search of freedom and independence on American soil. His is an important name that has its roots in the most intimate and personal history of the Royal Family. Lilibet Diana is the second child of the couple, who had little Archie in 2019 and who has recently celebrated two years.
Meghan and Harry’s last months have certainly been intense, starting with the “discord” interview given to Oprah Winfrey, up to the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh Philip, for which Harry had returned alone – for the first time. after his farewell – in England. Impossible not to mention the painful parenthesis of the spontaneous abortion told by Meghan but now, finally, it is time to celebrate the arrival of little Lili.
