Birth and family
Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born at 11:40 PDT (18:40 UTC) on 4 June 2021 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. She is the second child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and has an older brother, Prince Archie. Her birth and name were announced two days later. She was named after her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who was called "Lilibet" by her family, and her paternal grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales. Her nickname is "Lili". She has mixed-race ancestry, with African and European maternal lineage, and holds dual citizenship of the United States and the United Kingdom. In December 2021, the first photograph of Lilibet was released to the public as a Christmas card from her parents.
Lilibet met her great-grandmother Elizabeth II and grandfather Charles in-person for the first time when the family travelled to London for Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. She was christened in the Episcopal Church, a province of the Anglican Communion, in a private service at her parents' home on 3 March 2023 by the bishop of Los Angeles, John H. Taylor. Her godfather is the American actor and comedian Tyler Perry.
Lilibet and her family reside primarily in Montecito, California.
Title and styles
Following the death of Elizabeth II and accession of Charles III on 8 September 2022, Lilibet became entitled to use the title "princess" and style "royal highness" as the child of a son of the monarch, pursuant to letters patent issued by King George V in 1917. An 8 March 2023 statement by a spokesperson for Lilibet's parents confirming her baptism days earlier marked the first time that her parents had publicly used her title of "princess", with the announcement referring to her as "Princess Lilibet Diana". The official website of the royal family was updated to refer to her as "Princess Lilibet of Sussex" on 9 March. Lilibet will use titles in formal settings but not in everyday conversations.
