Baby bliss! Meghan Markle is in "good spirits and absolutely glowing" after welcoming her daughter, Lilibet Diana, a friend told PEOPLE. "She was just ready to have this baby!"
The couple has been loving their Montecito, Calif., mansion, as it is "very quiet and perfect for them," a source shared. "They are close to the beach, which they enjoy, and they also have friends in the neighborhood that they spend time with."
"They spend a lot of time at home with Archie but have also managed to get a few date nights in as well," the insider added. "This feels like their first proper home together, because they were able to find a house that they both love. It's nice to see them enjoy life."
On June 6, the former actress, 39, and the red-headed royal, 36, shared the news with the public.
"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," they wrote on their Archewell website.
"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 in Santa Barbara, CA. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home," the statement continued. "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."
After bringing Lili home, Meghan and Harry immediately had her meet Queen Elizabeth!
“Meghan is now resting at home and she and Harry have already introduced the Queen to her great granddaughter via Zoom,” an insider exclusively told The Royal Observer. “Since the couple moved to L.A., the Queen has become very familiar with Zoom. She talks to Harry, Meghan and Archie via technology, and now she is using it to meet her granddaughter. She is a very modern grandmother.”
“Lili is more perfect than Harry and Meghan could ever imagine,” a source dished to Us Weekly. “They are so in love with her, and she’s absolutely beautiful. She’s a cross between Harry and Meghan.”
