Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter could be born on June 10, Philip’s birthday

When Harry and Maghan Markle revealed to Oprah Winfrey that they are expecting a baby girl, they also said she would be born in the summer, without specifying when. According to reports from the Sun, the date X would be much closer than the bookmakers believed: we speak, in fact, of Thursday 10 June, the birth date of the Duke of Edinburgh which, if confirmed, could lead the Sussex family to give the little girl a name that somehow pays homage to the figure of their great-grandfather, who passed away in April.

The name Philippa, on which the British press had been betting for some time, could, however, being dismissed because of Pippa Middleton, Kate’s sister, forcing Harry and Meghan to consider other options so as not to fall into the royal homonymy. “Calling her Pip would be a nice way to pay homage to Filippo” said a source close to the couple, even if further rumors speak of a possible tribute to Queen Elizabeth: according to some, in fact, the newcomer could be called Lily, inspired by the nickname of the Queen in family intimacy, Lilibet.

“Harry has been discussing the date of birth and possible names with his closest friends and they are talking about it quite openly because we’re almost there now” the source continued, not ruling out even the very first option, which is that Harry and Meghan can call their second child Diana. “Lily and Pip aren’t exactly traditional royal names, but they aren’t a traditional royal couple either.” It seems that Meghan, unlike what happened with Archie, is planning a home birth in Montecito, California. From what the couple has always hinted at in the famous interview with Oprah, however, it seems that, as for children, they intend to stop here.
