Prince Harry reportedly asked Elizabeth II’s permission to name his daughter after him, according to information published by the Daily Mail this Tuesday, June 8.
They have expanded their family. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their second child on June 4. The couple announced the good news in a statement. “It is with immense joy that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcomed their daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana,” it read. A name full of tributes since, as they explained, this one refers to “her great-grandmother, Her Majesty the Queen, and her beloved grandmother, the Princess of Wales.” However, according to information published by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, June 8, this choice is not insignificant.
Indeed, a close source said that the Duke of Sussex would have raised the possibility of naming his daughter so even before meeting Meghan Markle. “Harry has never hidden his desire to have a family of his own and he has often said that it would be great to have a girl and a boy, whom he could name after the two most important people in his life, his mother and grandmother,” she first explains before clarifying: “He mentioned the idea of naming their daughter ‘Lilibet’ when they were discussing names and Meghan loved the idea. It’s a fitting tribute to the Queen and something that many people hope will bring the family closer together,” this source concludes.
A big invitation. Although the relationship between the royal family and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is not at its best since their departure in January 2020, it seems that Elizabeth II wants to fix things. In the columns of the Daily Mail, a source, who wished to remain anonymous, first said that the Duke of Sussex has “always had a special bond with his grandmother.
They have always been very close and have had very intense and deep conversations. Thus, the tabloid indicated that the Queen of England would have made a step towards her grandson, offering to come to lunch at Windsor Castle with her, this summer, when he will be visiting Britain. As a reminder, Archie’s dad should be present at the inauguration of the statue of Princess Diana, on July 1. “This is a typically magnanimous gesture of His Majesty,” revealed a close to the royal family before adding: “The lunch will be an opportunity for them to discuss.” Since the Megxit, Prince Harry and Elizabeth II have rarely exchanged. Will this dinner be an opportunity to move forward?
Birth of Lilibet: an important decision
It was in a statement published on the website Archewell that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced the birth of their second child. While they said they were “blessed by the arrival of our daughter, Lili” and did not hesitate to thank the British “for your kindness and support during this very special time for our family”, the Sussexes said they would take parental leave.
They also said they did not want to reveal Lilibet’s face for the moment. An important decision on the part of the couple but which is now possible for them since they no longer have to follow the traditions of the crown. It is therefore in complete privacy that Meghan Markle and her husband can enjoy their new family life, far from the media.
Congratulations Prince Harry, Duchess Megan and Archie upon the arrival of Baby Lilibet Diana Mounbatten Windsor!!!
Congratulations Harry and Meghan. Your birth of your daughter Lilibet (Lili) Diana now completes your family. Enjoy and Best Wishes to you both.
