Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, born June 4, 2021, in California, is the second child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Named after Queen Elizabeth II’s nickname and Princess Diana, her birth drew global media attention.

Since her parents stepped back from royal duties in 2020, Lilibet has had limited public appearances. The family prioritizes privacy while raising their children in the U.S.

Lilibet’s first UK visit was for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, where she met her great-grandmother and King Charles III.

Lilibet’s Birth Certificate: What It Includes

Lilibet’s birth certificate, obtained by People Magazine, lists her parents’ legal names. Meghan is “Rachel Meghan Markle,” and Harry is listed as “The Duke of Sussex” with “His Royal Highness” as the surname.

This raised interest because the couple stepped back from using HRH titles in 2020 but kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles. Titles on legal documents only change through formal Crown or Parliament action, according to constitutional rules.

A Different Approach Than Archie’s Birth Certificate

Archie’s 2019 birth certificate listed Prince Harry as “His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex” and Meghan as “Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.”

By Lilibet’s 2021 birth, they had stopped using their HRH titles officially, but the titles still appeared on documents because they hadn’t legally or formally renounced them.

Meghan’s Reflections on Motherhood

Meghan spoke about motherhood on her Archetypes podcast, especially in the episode “Good Wife/Bad Wife, Good Mom/Bad Mom.” She talked about balancing parenting with life in California and raising her children to be curious, kind, and confident. Meghan wants her daughter Lilibet to grow up with a strong sense of identity and a voice.

She also shared their family’s morning routine, showing how they all stay involved in daily life, from cooking to managing schedules.
