The baby has been named Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mounbatten-Windsor in honour of both Her Majesty The Queen and Diana, Princess of Wales. Lilibet is currently 8th in line to the throne of Britain and the Commonwealth realms.

As daughter of a duke Lilibet is entitled to be styled Lady Lilibet Diana Mounbatten-Windsor. Although it is likely the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not wish her to be styled as such.

When her grandfather The Prince of Wales ascends to the throne she will automatically become Her Royal Highness Princess Lilibet of Sussex. In accordance with the 1917 Letters Patent.
