Princess Lilibet isn't the first British royal to have been born in the U.S., but she is the only one among King Charles III's grandchildren. A California girl just like her mother, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their daughter, nicknamed Lili, on June 4, 2021 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, a week past her due date, as the **** ss of Sussex later revealed with her viral twerking video.
The Princess, born Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, was named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname was Lilibet, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana. Meghan and Harry's second child is the youngest of King Charles' five grandchildren and currently seventh in line to the throne.
Unlike her big brother Prince Archie, who was born in London, Lilibet never lived in the UK. Her parents stepped back from royal duties in March 2020 and moved to California with their firstborn the year before Lili's birth.
Having been born in the United States, the first years of Princess Lilibet's life looked vastly different from her brother's. While she was christened at the Sussexes' home in Montecito at 21-months-old, Archie's christening took place in the private chapel at Windsor Castle. The intimate service was attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as his grandfather King Charles III, Queen Camilla and Princess Diana's sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale.
Official portraits, including one featuring his royal relatives, were released, showing Archie, then-two months, in the same christening gown previously worn by his older cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. It is unlikely Lili wore the same gown to her christening in California, which was not attended by members of the royal family, though they were reportedly invited.

More than five years after losing her husband, Wanda Rogers is still celebrating the love story she shared with a country icon.
Rogers is the widow of Kenny Rogers. Her latest tribute to her late husband is melting hearts across social media. On Monday, June 1, Wanda turned to the late "Lady" singer's official Instagram to honor what would have been their 29th wedding anniversary. The couple wed in 1997 and remained devoted partners all the way up until Kenny's passing in March 2020 at age 81.
Wanda wrote a heartfelt note alongside a wedding photo to the man she still calls her great love.
"Today is the most special day for me: our wedding anniversary," she began, before adding, "Even though I can't touch you, I hold you in my heart forever, Kenny… Justin, Jordan, and I miss you so much. Love, Wanda." Justin and Jordan are the twin sons she and Kenny welcomed together.
In the rest of her message, Wanda looked back on the beautiful ceremony the pair held nearly three decades ago at Kenny's ranch in Athens, Georgia. The celebration carried an especially personal touch: a song the Grammy winner wrote just for his bride, "As God Is My Witness". He penned it alongside bandmates Warren Hartman and Steve Glassmeyer. Its tender lyrics speak of the right love arriving once in a lifetime, with no rhyme or reason behind it.
