In case you somehow missed the big news, Meghan Markle gave birth over the weekend to a healthy baby girl, and little Archie is finally a big brother.
The exciting announcement included the unveiling of the baby's name, which was full of connections to Prince Harry's family. Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on Friday, June 4 around noon, and she got her namesake from the duke's late mother, as well as his grandmother. “Lilibet” comes from the childhood nickname of Queen Elizabeth II, while Diana was chosen to honor Princess Diana.
And while we couldn't get over the sentimental naming, it seems we should've seen this coming from a mile away. According to a report from People, Prince Harry indicated his fondness for the name “Lili” two years ago.
During a trip to the town of Birkenhead while Meghan Markle was pregnant with Archie, Prince Harry received name suggestions from a group of schoolchildren. When a mother said her daughter's name was Lily, the Duke of Sussex showed an interest in it and asked her how it was spelled. Perhaps it was already on his list of baby name options?!
