And following the loss of her husband of 73 years, royal fans are convinced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are going to pay tribute to The Queen with their baby daughter’s name.
Although we all know her as Queen Elizabeth, Her Majesty’s parents and late husband lovingly referred to her as “Lilibet”.
As Cosmopolitan reports, royal fans on Twitter and Reddit have predicted that Harry and Meghan will give a nod to Her Majesty’s nickname by calling their baby girl Lily.
One wrote: “I’m not sure how relationships are between the family, but Lily would be a cute way to honour the Queen (Lilibet).”
Another added: “I read a prediction somewhere that they could use Lily for the Queen because of her childhood nickname Lilibet.
“And because of Meghan’s wedding bouquet being Lily of the valley. I think that’s really sweet.”
That said, Diana is still the firm favourite in bookmaker Coral’s betting at 5-1 while Alexandria is in second place at 8-1.
However, there are currently 16-1 odds that Harry and Meghan will call their daughter Elizabeth after her great-great-grandmother.
