The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have welcomed their second child - a baby daughter named Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Prince Harry and Meghan announced that the infant, a first sibling for Archie, was born on Friday in California.
Lili is named after her great-grandmother the Queen - who was affectionately nicknamed Lilibet by her family - and her grandmother, the late Princess Diana.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: "The Queen, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been informed and are delighted with the news of the birth of a daughter for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex."
Lili is the first of the Queen's great-grandchildren to be born outside the UK.
A statement from the couple's press secretary said that she was born at 11.40am on Friday "in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California".
She weighed 7lbs 11oz (3.5kg) and her and Meghan are said to be "healthy and well, and settling in at home".
"Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet," the statement added.
"Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.

I thought they had lost their royal titles, but I guess not.
I compleyely agree. I was appalled when I saw the name. It is presumptuous and tacky.
Are they paying their own security now?
Prince William and Prince Catherine could have one more kid. They’re 39 now.
I like the name Googie
>>Lili is the first of the Queen’s great-grandchildren to be born outside the UK.
Great, now they’ve got a freaking anchor baby. We’ll never be rid of the Dork and the Ho.
The queen have herself the name as a child. Philip always called her by that name.
They could but they are probably done. With Halfwit and Andrew gone(Prince Philip had already retired in 2017), the queen being 95 and the older working royals in their 70s and 80s, William and Catherine are likely to be focused on working more for the Firm from now on.

Anchor baby.
Poor innocent babies born to these two grifters. They are nothing but “arm candy” to their publicity-seeking parents. Hopefully, caring nannies will raise them.
LOL. “Cash Register” would be perfect name.
Great... Another f’n liberal.
That was my bet also. They lie about so much. They could have kept the birth under wraps and announced that she was born on July 1st (Diana’s 60th birthday). But I believed they would call her Diana.
The Harry formerly known as Prince.
Rancor baby, too.
Very good!
Lilibet was Elizabeth pronouncing her own name when she was a toddler.
Lilibet became her parents, sibling and cousins name for her.
Philip called her cabbage
lol....seriously?
“LOL. “Cash Register” would be perfect name.”
I can see a line of baby clothing and furniture bearing the name Lilibeth. The Harkles are all about making money.
