The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were “very excited and could not wait to share that their daughter arrived” and introduced her via video call to Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. It is not confirmed when Lilibet will meet the Queen but the Sussexes will most likely travel back to the UK in June 2022 for the Platinum Jubilee, which will mark the Queen’s 70th year on the throne.
Lilibet Diana’s middle name was selected to honour the Duke’s late mother, Princess Diana.
However, it also serves as a loving tribute to Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, who nicknamed her “flower” growing up.
