named Lilibet Diana in a nod to her paternal great-grandmother. Baby Sussex’ middle name was expected - Diana topped the bookies’ charts ahead of the birth - but the first name was less so.

Lilibet was the Queen’s family nickname growing up and a favourite of her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh (the Queen is believed to have left a handwritten note on top of his coffin signed: “Lilibet” at his funeral in April).

To many, opting for ‘Lili’ instead of Elizabeth is seen as a particularly personal olive branch from the Sussexes towards the royals after a tense and factious year.

The news was announced on Sunday with a message of thanks on the couple’s Archewell website. “On June 4, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili,” it.
