Prince Harry Hinted At The Name 'Lili' Two Years Before Birth Of His Daughter

You don't have to be a fan of the Royal family to know Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently welcomed their second child, a daughter, into the world this past weekend.

Their baby girl, named Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, has a significant name honouring not only her great grandmother, the Queen but her grandmother Princess Diana, who passed away in 1997.

Now, fans are realizing Prince Harry has had his sighs set on the name "Lili" for some time now.

On Sunday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared the news that they had recently welcomed their baby girl.

The pair took to their Archewell website to inform fans themselves with a personal message.

"On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili," the pair began.

"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."

The statement concluded: "Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family."

Now, fans are realizing that Harry has hinted at his love of the name "Lili" for years now.

Several royal reporters have shared that during a royal event in Birkenhead, England back in January 2019, Harry approached a mother of a little girl named Lily and asked her about the spelling of her daughter's name, as per ET.

At the time, Meghan was pregnant with the couple's son, Archie, but the baby's gender had not been revealed to the public.

"Prince Harry came over first and chatted to my two-year-old then spoke to my six-year-old Lily and then as he was walking off, he turned back he asked Lily if she spelt her name with a I or Y," Lily's mother, Rebecca Blundell, told the Daily Mail at the time. "I straight away thought that must be a name choice."
