Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter Lilibet has finally been added to the Royal list of succession.
The inclusion comes seven weeks after her birth in California.
She is eight in line to the throne.
The updated list followed comments from Royal watchers that prince Andrew was still named as eighth.
Harry and Meghan’s friend Omid Scobie, the Harper’s Bazaar US royal editor, tweeted at 12.30pm today:
“The line of succession on the @RoyalFamily website has just been updated to include the Sussexes’ second child: Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, who is eighth in line to the throne. She was born on June 4th.”
Lilibet’s brother Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, two, was added to the list just 15 days after being born.
The omission in the line of succession was spotted by ITV Royal Editor Chris Ship.
He suggested that the House of Windsor was “making a point.
“You have got to ask what has taken them so long.
“All they have got to do is hit the paragraph button and put in a different number.
“They must have done it before.
“They did it for Archie.
“Clearly, they did it for Louis when he was born.”
