Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed, this Friday June 4, a baby girl they decided to call Lilibet Diana, in tribute to Elizabeth II and Diana, the grandmother and mother of the young father. However, the name is also a nod to Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.
Since this Friday, June 4, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are parents for the second time. The 39-year-old American actress gave birth to a baby girl named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor. If the choice of names is a tribute to the grandmother and the late mother of Prince Harry, Elizabeth II and Diana, Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, has not been forgotten.
In her blog, The Tig, which Meghan Markle was forced to close when she joined the royal family, the former Suits actress confided that one of the nicknames her mother gave her as a child was Flower. Lili, which will be the shortcut of Lilibet, also means lily of the valley or lily in English. A choice that also refers to Doria Ragland, the mother of the wife of Prince Harry, who does not appear on the official announcement of the birth of the baby girl.
Doria Ragland is a precious help for her daughter and Prince Harry
It must be said that Doria Ragland is very present for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex since their move to the United States. She also helped Archie’s parents a lot during the pregnancy of Meghan Markle. Very protective of her daughter, the yoga teacher had notably refused that her daughter, then six months pregnant, went to the funeral of Prince Philip last April. The future grandmother of Lilibet had “insisted that Meghan Markle support Harry from afar”, not wishing to see her daughter “put her health at risk”, had reported the Express.co.
