Early life

[change | change source]

Lilibet was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, on 4 June 2021 at 11:40 PDT (19:26 UTC). She is named after her paternal great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and paternal grandmother Diana, Princess of Wales.[2]

Lilibet is seventh in the line of succession to the British throne. She became able to use the title "Princess" when her paternal grandfather, Charles III, became king.[1]

As the daughter of a British Duke, Lilibet could have been styled as The Lady Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, but her parents maintained Miss to accompany her civilian upbringing.
