Buckingham Palace released a statement which said: "The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been informed and are delighted with the news."

Her first name, Lilibet is the name close family and friends used for The Queen when she was growing up.

It is said that when The Queen was younger she could not pronounce her own name Elizabeth, so she called herself Lilibet and the nickname stuck.

Harry and Meghan have said their baby's middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour Harry's mum, the Princess of Wales.
