Nationality

  • British
Parents

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor (born 4 June 2021) is the daughter of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. She is a grandchild of King Charles III and is seventh 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][8]

Mountbatten-Windsor met her great-grandmother Elizabeth II and grandfather Charles III, then Prince of Wales, for the first time when the family traveled to London for the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II in June 2022.[9][8]

Title and succession

Mountbatten-Windsor is seventh 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][10] Daughters of dukes are entitled to the courtesy title "Lady" before their given name.[11] Upon the accession of her grandfather King Charles III on 8 September 2022, she also legally became a princess with the style of Her Royal Highness Princess Lilibet of Sussex[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] 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.[21]
