Reportedly, they didn't tell the family until soon before releasing the news and that's why they didn't have prepared "congratulations" ready to go like other recent births. I wonder if it is because of all the leaks - that's how they're dealing with things they want to keep private.

As someone that spends all day in either workout clothes or yoga pants, my fashion opinion might be wrong, but I'd love to see maybe a bright colored shoe. White hair tie, white earrings, white dress, and nude shoes is a bit much for me. Maybe even fun colorful earrings and coordinating shoes to break up the monotone(?).

Can I just give props to the folks at the hospital in Santa Barbara?! Meghan gave birth on Friday morning (so was likely there Thursday night) and was discharged and home before the news of the baby broke through press release. No one leaked, no pap shots of them, everyone did the right/moral thing. It’s wonderful for a family that was put through so much during their last pregnancy and delivery. I am anxiously awaiting first pics, but super glad Meghan doesn’t have to do the press walk all dressed up days after giving birth. I wonder if they will have her christened when they go back for Diana’s memorial thing It’s a really good health system. I used to consult for them and think highly of them. They are not like UCLA or Cedars level of dealing with celebrity patients but they are not unfamiliar either as there are a decent number of celebs in that area. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have an alias protocol for these situations and very few people even knew they were there.

I wonder if Charles hates having to use Diana's name to talk about his granddaughter. DH's grandma called B by his middle name for so long because he's named after her ex-husband. She's still petty after all these years. *Both granddaughters. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Charles can suck it! I'm KTSE.

The only thing they didn’t know was the exact date and name. I’m sure they knew the due date and everyone knew it was a girl.

I'm honestly not sure what to make of the name honouring the Queen given everything they've been put through. It's a head scratcher for sure. I'm happy they got to have the private experience they deserved and i wish them all health and happiness.

I am here. I love that they got to have the birth they wanted and no leaks happened. I am glad to hear they are taking a few months off. I wonder if we will get pictures or not.
Also I love the name and figure like others that Harry has always been close to his grandmother and that is where it is coming from.

I don’t like the name, though Lili is fine. It doesn’t matter what I think though and I’m glad they found something they like together.

Why is Victoria continuing to ignore how much better she looks without that severe hairdo? Also I hate the dress, it looks like a giant wedding shower decoration. Ugly af.

Honestly, I've had to retrain myself to use the Oxford Comma, bc for so many years it was against style. I know it keeps things cleaner, in terms of understanding, but I hate the extra comma. I like Meghan, Harry and Archie. Even though it's only that way bc it was cheaper when typesetting to skip extraneous punctuation and symbols. I can't believe I'm late to the conversation. AP is my jam. Down with the serial comma.

He won't let them brush him off.

I think this very much speaks to their Oprah interview and the difference between the person who is his grandma, and the institution or the Firm. I think my using her nickname they are honoring their love for the loving grandma. If they had chosen Elizabeth, that’s the formal name that the world knows. I don’t think I’m making sense, but I don’t think Harry feels his grandma almost killed his wife, I think he very strongly believes it was the institution. I assume Meghan feels the same since she named her daughter after the queen. Anyway, I think the opinion columns about the name are ridiculous and I’m glad that Harry and Meghan are happy.

See and what I got out of the interview is that it is more The Firm which she has stepped back from so I took it as Charles and Wills. I do think that she obviously holds on to Andrew and she was in charge at some point in the racist years but I also wonder how much she actually is in charge of if there are men running things behind her back. She is still terrible about Andrew and the not sticking up for them for sure, but I’m taking this to show that she must have a good relationship with them because I don’t see Meghan being ok with it if she really thought it was her behind the bad treatment

I know I couldn’t separate the person from the behaviour so if they can then good for them. I think it shows we all really have no idea what goes on inside that household and who’s really in charge. Like I said I wish them all happiness, and I hope they get the newborn experience that they didn’t get with Archie

I am annoyed there is no blackness in the name. I have nicknamed the baby Sojourner. That's what I shall call her, as if anyone cares.
