It's been less than a week since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcome their second child together, a little girl named Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
The couple's daughter arrived less than a month after her big brother Archie celebrated his second birthday on 6 May. But unlike Archie, Lilibet was born in the United States.
