Meghan Markle's bio on royal family website finally updated after two month delay

Meghan Markle's bio on the royal family's official website has finally been updated to reflect she is now a mum of two.

Meghan and Prince Harry's daughter Lilibet Diana was born in California on June 4, with her names honouring both the Queen and her grandmother the late Princess Diana.

Up until as recently as the end of July, Meghan's info page on the site still referred to her as being a mother of one to two-year-old son Archie, reports the Sun.

And the tweak to show Meghan now has two children was only made recently.

Her bio now reads: "The Duchess of Sussex, born Rachel Meghan Markle, married Prince Harry at St George's Chapel, Windsor in May 2018. The Duke and Duchess have two children, Archie Mountbattern-Windsor and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor."

However, it is not the first time there has seemingly been a delay in updating the royal family website.

Last month, royal fans asked why Lilibet had not been added to the website's page, which details the line of succession.

However, it was finally updated - but seven weeks after her birth.

When Lilibet's older brother Archie was born in 2019, the site was changed to add him to the line of succession after only 15 days.

And when cousin Prince Louis arrived in 2018, the website was updated 12 days after his birth.

A spokesman for Buckingham Palace previously said the Royal Family website is “updated periodically”.

Lilibet's place as eighth in the line of succession means Prince Andrew moves down to ninth.

Above her in the list is Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Harry and brother Archie.

Harry and Meghan named their new daughter after the Queen's childhood nickname - but said she will be known as Lili.

In a statement, they said: "Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet.

"Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."

But there have been varying reports as to whether the couple asked for permission from the Queen to use her family nickname as a first name.

And it could be something that Prince Harry addresses in his memoir, which he is releasing late next year.

It will cover his lifetime in the public eye, including his time in the military, marriage and fatherhood.
