QUOTE, MY TRIP TO EUROPE IS ALL
ABOUT AMERICA RALLYING THE
WORLDS DEMOCRACIES.
>>> FIRST, WE HAVE SOME PRETTY
EXCITING BREAKING NEWS TO SHARE.
AS THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF
SUSSEX JUST ANNOUNCED THE BIRTH
OF THEIR DAUGHTER.
ITS THE SECOND CHILD FOR PRINCE
HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE.
WELL GET RIGHT OVER TO LONDON
RIGHT NOW WHERE NBCS MATT
BRADLEY HAS THE DETAILS ON THIS
HAPPY STORY.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW, MATT?
>> Reporter: ALEX, IT TURNS OUT
THIS NEW ROYAL BABY WAS BORN ON
FRIDAY IN CALIFORNIA.
THE BABY IS HEALTHY, BORN A
LITTLE BEFORE NOON ON FRIDAY.
AND THE NAMES, THIS NEW BABY
WILL BE CALLED LILY DIANA
MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR, EXCUSE ME,
ITS A MOUTHFUL.
THERES A LOT OF DIFFERENT
FAMILIES THERE, DIFFERENT
ELEMENTS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.
LILY WAS ACTUALLY THE NICKNAME
OF HER GREAT-GRANDMOTHER, QUEEN
ELIZABETH, THE CURRENT REIGNING
QUEEN, AND DIANA OF COURSE IS A
TRIBUTE TO HER GRANDMOTHER,
PRINCESS DIANA OF WALES AND THE
MOTHER OF PRINCE HARRY.
SO THERES A LOT THERE.
MOUNTBATTEN-WINDSOR IS THE ROYAL
FAMILYS NAME, THATS THE
COMBINATION THERE.
AND THE NAMING HERE IS ALWAYS AN
ISSUE WHEN YOURE TALKING ABOUT
A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY,
PRINCE HARRY, WHO HAS HAD A
VERY, VERY DIFFICULT SORT OF
HALF-DIVORCE AND A CONTENTIOUS
RELATIONSHIP WITH LONDON, WITH
THE ROYAL FAMILY HERE.
SO HOW THIS NEW BABY WILL IMPACT
THAT, WELL, ITS REALLY HARD TO
SEE.
WE HAVENT HEARD A REACTION YET,
A FORMAL REACTION FROM THE ROYAL
FAMILY.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES FROM THE
PRESS RAECHTSEPRESENTATIVES OF T
SUSSEXES.
THERE HAD BEEN A LOT OF
SPECULATION ON NAMING.
"THE DAILY MAIL" WAS REPORTING
IT WAS THOUGHT THE BABY WAS
GOING TO BE BORN ON THE 10th SO
IT WAS BORN ABOUT SIX DAYS
BEFORE HAD BEEN PREDICTED BY
DOCTORS.
THE 10th, THE DATE IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE BORN, WAS GOING
TO BE THE 100th BIRTHDAY OF
PRINCE PHILIP WHO DIED SEVERAL
MONTHS AGO, THATS QUEEN
ELIZABETHS HUSBAND.
SO NOW IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THIS
IS A SITUATION THATS GOING TO
HAVE A REACTION FROM THE PALACE.
WE STILL HAVENT HEARD IT YET,
EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A COUPLE OF
DAYS OLD, ALEX.
>> THERES A LOT TO UNPACK HERE.
AS THE MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN,
IM JUST GOING TO SAY, SHE HAD
HER SECOND CHILD A LITTLE BIT
EARLY.
THATS TYPICALLY, JUST INFORMING
YOU, MY FRIEND, BECAUSE YOU
WOULDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
>> Reporter: THANK YOU, NO, I
WOULDNT.
I LEARNED SOMETHING.
>> YOU DID, THERE YOU GO.
THIS BABY WAS BORN AT THE SANTA
BARBARA COLLEGE HOSPITAL, A VERY
WELL RENOWNED HOSPITAL THERE IN
SANTA BARBARA.
MEGHAN HAD ORIGINALLY HOPED TO
HAVE THE BABY AT HOME THROUGH
NATURAL CHILDBIRTH THERE BUT IT
WAS WISE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL
JUST IN CASE.
THE BABY WADEEIGHED, ACCORDING T
SOMETHING IM JUST READING, 7
POUNDS 11 OUNCES, A NICE
HEALTHY-SIZED BABY.
THAT MEANS BIG BROTHER ARCHIE
WILL BE TWO YEARS AND ONE MONTH
OLDER THAN HIS BIG SISTER.
SO IM WONDERING ABOUT THE
SIBLING RIVALRY, YOU KNOW, IS
THAT GOING TO BE HAPPENING.
I WONDER IF HARRY WILL BE
HANGING OUT WITH ARCHIE BECAUSE
MEGHAN OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO
HAVE DUTIES WITH THIS NEW BABY
LILY.
THE NAMES ARE GREAT, DONT YOU
THINK?
>> Reporter: THERES NEVER ANY
DRAMA IN THE ROYAL FAMILY, SO I
WOULDNT EXPECT ANYTHING FROM
THAT.
THERES NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT, NO SIBLING RIVALRIES,
