Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have welcomed their second child, a daughter named Lilibet Diana. The couple announced in a statement Sunday that their daughter was born Friday at Barbara Cottage Hospital in Barbara, California. She and Meghan are healthy and settling in at home. "Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet," the statement said. "Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales." The couple added a thank you to all their supporters, saying Lili "is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we've felt from across the globe." Buckingham Palace said in a statement that Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, are "delighted with the news of the birth of a daughter for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex." Harry and Meghan have a son, Archie, who turned 2 last month. They announced that Meghan was pregnant with Lili in February, months after the duchess opened up about having had a miscarriage in July in a New York Times op-ed. What's the significance behind the name of Harry and Meghan's newborn daughter? "Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few," Meghan wrote. Lili shares her middle name with her cousin Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, daughter of Prince William. She is expected to be eighth in line to the throne, following her brother.

Born Friday at a hospital in Barbara, Calif., Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor carries the family nickname of Queen Elizabeth II, who as a toddler struggled to pronounce her first name, the BBC reported. As the story goes, King George V interpreted his granddaughter's attempts to say "Elizabeth" as "Lilibet." The name stuck and has been used by the family ever since — including, endearingly, by the queen's late husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April. "Lilibet is the only 'thing' in the world which is absolutely real to me," Philip wrote to his mother-in-law after he and Elizabeth married. The name also honors Princess Diana For their daughter's middle name, Harry and Meghan chose "Diana" to honor her late grandmother, the Princess of Wales, who died in a car crash in 1997 when Harry was 12 years old. As family members have publicly shared their congratulations to the couple, Harry and Meghan expressed their gratitude in a statement on their Archewell Foundation website. "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," the couple wrote. Lilibet is eighth in line to the throne, moving Prince Andrew to ninth place. Like her 2-year-old brother, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, it is unlikely she will have a title, although she is currently able to become a princess once her grandfather, Charles, Prince of Wales, takes the throne.

A lawyer has been suspended from the family law service she founded after mocking “black names” and the Black Lives Matter movement in tweets about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s newborn.
Joanna Toch, a former Olympic rower who founded Family Law Cafe in the U.K., made racist jokes on Twitter with another woman, Julie Burchill, about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s newborn daughter’s name just after her birth was announced on Sunday.
Harry and Meghan named their baby Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor to honor both Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname is “Lilibet,” and Harry’s mother, Princess Diana.
Burchill, a contributor to The Telegraph and The Spectator who goes by @boozeandfagz online, tweeted that Lilibet’s new name was “a missed opportunity” for Harry and Meghan. Referring to the baby as “it,” she added, “They could’ve called it Georgina Floydina!”
Toch replied to Burchill, “No Doria? Don’t black names matter?”
Doria Ragland is Meghan’s mother.
Burchill answered that she “was hoping for Doria Oprah, the racist rotters.”
Toch responded with “Doprah?”
As the tweets began going viral on Twitter, Toch quickly issued apologies for her “joke.”
