Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s daughter finally added to royal line of succession 7 weeks after her birth

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s newborn daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, has officially been added to the royal line of succession more than seven weeks after her birth. 

The official royal website was updated Monday after the family caught backlash over the weekend once people noticed that Lilibet had not been added to the succession line in a timely manner following her birth in June of 2021.

Lilibet, whose name is a tribute to both Queen Elizabeth II and Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, now sits at her rightful place as eighth in line to the throne that is currently held by the queen, according to the official succession list on the Royal Family’s website.
