For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and his wife, life seem to be coming in full circle as Meghan Markle just delivered a daughter, her second child.
The couple broke the news on their Archewell website, writing, “On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
“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. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home,” the statement continued.
“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 statement concluded. “The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they enjoy this special time as a family.”
No photos of the newborn or the Sussexes accompanied the announcement.
Harry and Meghan’s first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, was born May 6, 2019.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex first announced they were expecting their second child on Valentine’s Day 2021 in a move echoing Buckingham Palace’s announcement that Princess Diana was pregnant with Prince Harry.
