H Harry and Meghan’s official statement said::Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA,” a spokesperson revealed on the couple’s behalf.
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is an acute care teaching hospital and trauma centre, and the largest of its kind between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.
There was plenty of speculation over the name choice leading up to Lili’s birth, with Diana and Allegra being dubbed frontrunners.
Harry and Meghan settled on Lili - a significant choice as it paid tribute to Her Majesty The Queen. The Sussexes, however, did choose Diana as the bub's middle name to honour Harry's late mother, The Princess of Wales.
Harry and Meghan also shared a personal message of thanks to their Archewell website, writing, “On June 4th, 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".
Meghan and baby Lilibet have already checked out of hospital and are now at home with Harry.
