Prince Harry, Meghan Markle introduced Queen Elizabeth to their newborn daughter over video call
It was a royal introduction — over video.
Queen Elizabeth II met Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s newborn daughter over a video call, People reported, citing a source.
The baby girl, Lilibet Diana, was born last Friday.
The source told People that Harry and Meghan “were very excited and couldn’t wait to share that their daughter arrived.”
The newborn’s name pays homage to both the Queen, whose longtime nickname is Lilibet, and Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.
Harry and Meghan announced the child’s birth on Sunday.
“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,” the couple said in a statement.
“Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”

“Congratulations to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the birth of Lilibet Diana! The Queen, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted with the news,” reads the statement.
