After the couple shared the happy news, Kate Middleton and Prince William posted a touching tribute on their Instagram page – which they previously shared with Harry and Meghan.
Along with their congratulatory message to the parents, Kate and William shared a black-and-white photo of Harry and Meghan with their son Archie in the garden of their £11m Montecito mansion.
They wrote: “We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili.
“Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie.”
The post has racked up over 10,000 comments on Instagram – and fans were full of praise for the heartwarming message.
While several dubbed the couple a “class act”, another added: “So happy to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge take the high ground and acknowledge this.”
“So very gracious of you after everything,” a third wrote. “First class as always!”
“I never expect less than graciousness from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,” a fourth said.
It comes as royal expert Duncan Larcombe claimed Harry and Meghan extended a “major olive branch” to the Royal Family with their daughter’s name.
Tensions have mounted between the Royals in the past two years following Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from the Royal family, their move to the US and their tell-all two hour interview that aired back in March with Oprah Winfrey.
In his Apple TV+ series, Harry spoke about his strained relationship with dad Prince Charles and claimed the Palace showed “total neglect” for his mental health woes.
In more Royal Family news, these are the clues Meghan Markle and Prince Harry chose their baby girl’s name Lili years earlier.
And Prince Harry ‘told Queen baby Lilibet would be named after her – but Palace officials kept in dark about birth announcement’.
Plus Meghan Markle has a £4,800 Cartier watch she plans to give to her baby girl.
