Baby Lili’s name is also a nod to Meghan Markle’s mother Doria Ragland | Royalty

The name Lili has a lot of meaning not only for Prince Harry, but also for his wife Meghan Markle. In her youth, her mother Doria Ragland affectionately called her ‘Flower’ or ‘Flower’. In a blog post on her former website The Tig, the Duchess of Sussex talked about her various nicknames before. For example, people called her Meg, MM, M&M and therefore Flower. “My mom has called me that since I was very little,” it sounds on the website.

After their move to the United States, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also have more contact with Doria. Meghan’s mother lives nearby in Los Angeles and she is said to have visited her grandson Archie several times. “A lot of her willpower does come from her mother,” a friend of hers recently told People magazine.

The name Lilibeth is therefore not only a tribute to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, but also to Meghan Markle’s mother Doria. With the girl’s middle name, Diana, the couple wanted to honor Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana.
