Too cute for words! Prince Harry is spending loads of time with his daughter, Lilibet, and it seems like he can't get enough.
“Harry adores Lili and loves reading her bedtime stories and rocking her to sleep,” a source told Us Weekly. “He has a real magic touch.”
The 37-year-old and his wife, Meghan Markle — who also share son Archie — are so happy to be a family of four. “There’s just so much love and gratitude and they couldn’t ask for more," the insider said.
The two have yet to share a photo of their new baby, but the former actress gave an update when she and Harry were in NYC in late September.
While walking between meetings and events, a reporter asked, "Meghan, how's Lilibet?" to which she replied, "She's beautiful."
Over the summer, the couple announced they expanded their brood.
“On June 4th, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili,” the couple wrote on June 6. “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. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
"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."
It's unclear if Meghan and Harry will bring their two kids overseas for Christmas, but according to expert Katie Nicholl, she believes it could happen.
"When Harry and Meghan left, they made it clear they didn’t want to give up their home in Britain. They still have Frogmore Cottage and their plan was to come back to the U.K.," she told Closer magazine. "Christmas is being looked at as an opportunity. There may be a softening, which could pave the way for a healing of the family rift. It’s certainly what the Queen wants. Prince Charles would like to see his grandchildren. A meet-up suggests they hope to move on and sort things out."
