Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born this morning in a hospital in Santa Barbara, California.

BBC News reports the pair said in a statement both mother and child are healthy and well.

The couple said they named their second child Lilibet after the Royal Family's nickname for the Queen, the baby's great-grandmother.

BBC News reports the statement said her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her "beloved late grandmother", The Princess of Wales.

She is Queen Elizabeth's 11th great-grandchild and is eighth in line to the throne.
