Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Prince William and Kate Middleton have publicly sent their well-wishes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Sunday following the arrival of their second child, Lilibet Diana.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson released a statement expressing the "delight" of the royal family on the birth of another royal baby, whose name pays tribute to both Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Diana.

"The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been informed and are delighted with the news," Buckingham Palace said.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced the birth of their second child Sunday. Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born Friday morning in a hospital in Santa Barbara, California. The royal couple said both the duchess and Lili are healthy and well.

"On June 4, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili," Meghan and Harry shared in a joint statement on their Archewell Foundation site. "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."

Prince Charles and Camilla took to Twitter to congratulate the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. "Congratulations to Harry, Meghan, and Archie on the arrival of baby Lilibet Diana. Wishing them all well at this special time," the Cornwall couple wrote.

Even Prince William and Kate, who are said to have a strained relationship with Harry and Meghan, congratulated the pair on Lilibet's birth. "We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili. Congratulations to Harry, Meghan, and Archie," the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrote on Twitter.

Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, first met on a blind date in 2016. They tied the knot in May 2018 in a ceremony at Windsor Castle. The royal couple welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, a year later. They quit their roles as senior working royals in March 2020.
