Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are over the moon since welcoming their first daughter, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on Friday morning.

Already parents to Archie, 2, the couple shared intimate thoughts on baby Lili via their Archewell Foundation website: "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."

The prince, 36, had previously hinted that he liked the name. During a 2019 outing when Meghan was pregnant with Archie, Harry showed interest in the name "Lily," asking a mother how she spelled her daughter's name.
