Her Little Girl! Meghan Markle Gives Sweet Update On Daughter Lilibet During NYC Trip

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's NYC trip was filled to the brim — but the former actress still managed to gush over her little girl, Lilibet Diana.
While walking between meetings and events, a reporter asked, "Meghan, how's Lilibet?" to which she replied, "She's beautiful."
The pair made their first public appearance since welcoming their tot in June.
"It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world," the couple said at the time. "Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital."
"Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales," the statement added. "This is the second child for the couple, who also have a two-year-old son named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. The Duke and Duchess thank you for your warm wishes and prayers as they enjoy this special time as a family."
The two have yet to share a photo of Lilibet, but there are rumors swirling that Harry, 37, wants his daughter's christening to take place in the U.K.
However, royal expert Russell Myers doesn't think that's a very good idea.
"I don't think there has been any real push to come over, tensions are still very high in that sphere of things," he shared. "Certainly the Oprah Winfrey interview seems to be fresh in the memory for a lot of people, so whether they would be welcomed back with open arms to sit around the Christmas table, I wouldn't bet on that at the moment."
"The royals are certainly at the moment trying to put their attention towards getting back to work over the next week or so, and we are going to see a lot of activity as all the children are back," he added.
