    Prince Harry is sharing a few precious details about home life for himself and Meghan Markle after recently welcoming their second bundle of joy.

    On Wednesday, June 30, the 36-year-old Duke of Sussex celebrated the recipients of the 2021 WellChild Awards with a private event held at Kew Gardens in London. During the socially distant garden party, he shared thoughts about how life has changed since he and his wife welcomed daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana on June 4. 

    At one point, fellow guest Ed Sheeran asked Harry about raising Lili in addition to the couple’s 2-year-old son Archie Harrison, and Harry replied, “Two is definitely a juggle,” according to Hello Magazine. For his part, the 30-year-old “Shape of You” singer announced in September that he and wife Cherry Seaborn had welcomed their first child, daughter Lyra

    Later, Harry spoke to a different guest and gave more insight into the new routine for Meghan and himself, who are raising their family in Santa Barbara, Calif.

    “We’ve been lucky so far,” Harry said about Lili, according to Hello. “She’s very chilled and seems happy to just sit there while Archie is running around like crazy.”

    Since 2007, Harry has served as patron of WellChild, a national charity in the U.K. that aids children and young people who are battling serious illness so they can be treated at home instead of needing to stay in a hospital. The categories for the WellChild Awards include Inspirational Child and Young Person, Young Carer, Inspirational Doctor, Outstanding Health Professional and Volunteer.

    This is certainly a busy week for Harry, who is set to join brother Prince William for the unveiling of a Princess Diana statue in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace on Thursday, July 1. The ceremony will take place on what would have been the 60th birthday for the siblings’ late mother.

    Lilibet Diana Is the Queen's 11th GreatGrandchild: Meet the Youngest Royals

    Lilibet Diana Is the Queen's 11th GreatGrandchild: Meet the Youngest Royals

  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's second child and youngest daughter, Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, joins a growing roster of great-grandchildren for Queen Elizabeth II.
  • Watch: Meghan Markle Gives Birth to Baby No. 2

    With the birth of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s daughter, Queen Elizabeth II is now the proud great-grandma to 11 great-grandchildren.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor on Friday, June 4, in a hospital in Santa Barbara, Calif. The child, who joins 2-year-old big brother Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor, is the first of the 95-year-old monarch’s great-grandchildren to be born outside of the United Kingdom, following her parents’ royal exit. Despite being born on American soil, Lili is eighth in the line of succession to the British throne.

    The daughter of Meghan, 39, and Harry, 36, joins her cousins, the children of Prince William, 38, and wife Kate Middleton, 39—Prince George, who is 7 and the future heir after his father, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3.

    And perhaps one day Lili will enjoy a playdate with baby August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, one of two second cousins close to her age. The 4-month-old boy is the son of Princess Eugenie, the 31-year-old daughter of the queen’s son Prince Andrew, 61, and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, 61.

    However, Lili won’t be the youngest of the queen’s great-grandchildren for long. Buckingham Palace announced in May that Eugenie’s sister Princess Beatrice, 32, is currently pregnant with her and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi‘s first child together and is due to give birth in the fall.

Just to clear up any confusion, Lady Louise Windsor, born on Nov. 3, 2003, and James, Viscount Severn, born on Dec. 17, 2007, are Queen Elizabeth II‘s grandchildren, not great-grandchildren. Their parents are the monarch’s youngest son Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex—who is 15 years younger than heir Prince Charles, and wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
