When asked if she was excited about Meghan’s baby news, Kate replied with a resounding “Absolutely!”

“It’s such a special time to have little kiddies,” she added. “And a cousin for George and Charlotte, as well, and Louis. It’ll be really special.”

Kate was no less enthused following the birth of Harry and Meghan’s second child, Lilibet, in June 2021.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson released a statement at the time expressing the royal family’s “delight” – written on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and William and Kate.

“The Queen, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been informed and are delighted with the news of the birth of a daughter for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” the spokesperson said.

William and Kate subsequently tweeted a separate supportive message that read: “We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili. Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie.”

Just days after Lilibet’s arrival, Kate was quizzed about her new niece during an engagement with First Lady Jill Biden. Asked if she has any wishes for the newborn, Kate replied: “I wish her all the very best. I can’t wait to meet her. We haven’t met her yet. I hope that will be soon.”
