Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor (born 4 June 2021) is the daughter of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. She is the eleventh great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and is eighth in the line of succession to the British throne.[1]

Birth, family and infancy

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, on 4 June 2021 at 11:40 PDT (18:40 UTC). Her birth along with her name were announced two days later. She is named after her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who was called "Lilibet" by her family,[1][2] and her paternal grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales.[3] Her nickname is "Lili".[4] She has an older brother, Archie.[3] Mountbatten-Windsor descends paternally from the British royal family and has mixed-race ancestry, having African and European maternal lineage.[5] She has dual citizenship of the United States and the United Kingdom.[6]

In December 2021, the first photograph of Mountbatten-Windsor was released to the public as a Christmas card from her parents.[7]

Mountbatten-Windsor met her great-grandmother Elizabeth II for the first time when the family traveled to London for the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II in June 2022.[8]

Title and succession

Mountbatten-Windsor is eighth in the line of succession to the British throne and is the highest-ranked individual in the current line of succession to have been born overseas.[6][9] As a male-line great-grandchild, rather than a grandchild, of a monarch, she is not a princess. Daughters of dukes are entitled to the courtesy title "Lady" before their given name;[10] however, as is the case with her brother, Archie, it is unlikely that she will use a title, at least while living in the United States.[11] Under letters patent issued by King George V in November 1917, she would be entitled to become a princess upon the accession of her grandfather, Charles, Prince of Wales.[1]
