Harry and Meghan take parental leave from their jobs after revealing birth of daughter Lilibet Diana – as it emerges they told Queen her great-grandchild would be named after her 'before the announcement' (but Palace was still caught cold by timing)
Harry and Meghan have gone on parental leave after they announced the birth of their baby daughter Lilibet yesterday afternoon.
The 7lbs 11oz baby – whose middle name is Diana – was born on Friday evening, British time.
It is understood the Queen was informed by Prince Harry that her great-grandchild would be named in her honour, ahead of their official announcement which was made on their official website.
However, Buckingham Palace appeared to be caught off guard by the timing of the Sussexes' news with a spokesman for the palace congratulating the couple 90 minutes after the announcement broke.
‘Lilibet’ was coined by the 95-year-old monarch when she was too young to pronounce her own name. Harry and Meghan’s daughter will be known as Lili Diana. Her late grandmother’s 60th birthday would have been next month.
Last night the delighted Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced: ‘On June 4, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili.
‘She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.’
Lili – who is eighth in line to the throne – was born in Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California, a private facility where births cost up to £20,000.
Omid Scobie, a journalist favoured by Harry and Meghan, tweeted that the couple would ‘not be sharing a photograph at this time’ of Lili and that they were now on 'parental leave'.
He said the couple’s office was encouraging anyone who wanted to send gifts to support organisations working for women and girls.
