Prince Harry has spoken with deep affection about being a father to Lilibet, describing his children as a huge source of happiness and grounding in his life. He has shared how much joy Archie and Lilibet bring to their family and how becoming a father changed his priorities, making him more focused on giving his children a safe, loving and private childhood. Harry and Meghan have also been careful about how much of Lilibet’s life they share publicly, choosing to give only occasional glimpses of their daughter as she grows.
Lilibet holds a special place in Harry’s family story as well. She was born in California and was named Lilibet Diana, honoring both Queen Elizabeth II and Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana. Harry has spoken about wanting his children to know where they come from and understand the family members who shaped their parents’ lives, while also protecting them from the intense public pressure he experienced growing up.
