Prince Charles is one of the latest members of the Royal family to publically welcome his son Harry and daughter-in-law Meghan's baby girl, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Fans have already heard messages of congratulations from several members of the Royal family including Prince William and Kate Middleton and the Queen, as well as several of the pair's close friends and extended family members.
"It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world," read a statement from the couple, published Sunday.
"Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home," the statement continued.
"Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."
However, in typical U.K. tabloid fashion, the press started spreading rumours that Meghan and Harry did not consult with Her Majesty about using her intimate nickname.
According to Vanity Fair her father, then the Duke of York, affectionately referred to his eldest daughter as Lilibet and continued to call her by the name when he became King.
Just hours after news broke of Lilibet's birth, the press began to speculate that the name was an insult to the Queen, or even worse, that the pair didn't even ask to use her intimate nickname.
BBC reporter Jonny Dymond still has his initial tweet published that reads: "BREAKING Palace source tells BBC that the Queen was not asked by Meghan and Harry over the use of her childhood nickname; reports suggested Harry had sought permission from Queen to call newborn ‘Lilibet’; but Palace source says the Queen was ‘never asked’."
"The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement. In fact, his grandmother was the first family member he called," the spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess told CNN. "During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honor. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the names."
Charles commented on the arrival of his latest grandchild on Tuesday while visiting a BMW Mini car factory in Oxford, U.K.
The Prince tied being a grandfather into his speech about innovation and sustainability as he continues to advocate for the environment.
"Something I’m only too aware of today having recently becoming a grandfather for the fifth time."
"Such happy news really does remind of the necessity of continued innovation in this area, especially around sustainable battery technology in view of the legacy we bequeath to our grandchildren."
It is happy news, indeed!
