Queen Elizabeth II’s death has touched the heart of the nation and people across the world, such is her lasting impact of devotion to duty and inspirational strength.

However, as the world has entered a period of mourning, several members of her family have reminded us that while we may have lost a monarch, they have lost a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Her Majesty was the second-longest reigning monarch in world history, having taken the throne on February 6, 1952 following the death of her father, George VI. She now leaves a legacy, comprising of four children, eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

The Queen’s eldest son, Charles, will now be known as King. Following his accession to the throne, the line of succession has now altered and reads as follows: Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Harry, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, Prince Andrew and Princess Beatrice.

Following the Queen’s death, here is a look at Her Majesty’s great-great children:

1

Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor

Lili, as she’s widely known, was born June 4, 2021 and is the daughter of Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. She is the 11th great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth and named after Her Majesty’s childhood nickname (Lilibet) and Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.

Lili’s parents shared the first birthday photo of their daughter, who was born in the US, in June 2022, which was taken at their home Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, months after the family-of-four marked their first Christmas together with a sweet photo.

Contrary to Kate Middleton and Prince William, the newly-appointed Princess and Prince of Wales, the Sussexes chose not to hold a photocall outside the hospital following their child’s birth.

The Queen and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, met their great-grandchild at Windsor Castle on May 8, along with the Duchess of Sussex’s mother, Doria Ragland.

In September 2019, Archie accompanied his parents on his first official royal tour of South Africa and a year later appeared in video with his mother as part of a Save with Stories campaign, to help children and families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Archie currently resides in Montecito, California with his youngest sister, Lili, and his parents, following their decision to step down as senior royals in March 2020 and move to the US.
