Seven weeks have passed since the birth of Lilibet, the daughter of Prince Harry and the Duchess of Meghan. However, on Sunday, for example, the British website Express.co.uk pointed out that the name Lilibet was missing from the list of heirs to the throne on the official website of the royal family.
When Archie was born two years ago, he appeared on the list after 15 days. Experts working on the British royal family also drew attention to the long delay at Lilibet. “Where is Lilibet? Can I forgive them for a week, two, but a month?” said Chris Ship, Royal Editor of ITV News.
On Monday, the site was finally updated and the line of succession was finally adjusted. Buckingham Palace did not comment on why it took so long. Earlier, the spokesman only stated that the site is “regularly updated.”
On the list of successors is Lilibet, who is no longer entitled to any royal title, in eighth place after her brother Archie. In front of them is Prince Harry. The third to fifth place belongs to the children of Prince William, who is in second place. The first heir to the throne is Prince Charles.
Duchess Meghan gave birth to her second child on June 4. At that time, they shocked the world with Harry by the name they chose for their daughter – Lilibet was the personal nickname of Queen Elizabeth II, addressed to her by her late wife, Prince Philip. The girl’s middle name is Diana after Harry’s mother.
