Where are the Isles of Scilly?
Meghan and Harry's daughter Lilibet is still missing from the Royal line of succession SEVEN weeks after she was born
- Sussexes' daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor is eighth in line to throne
- Baby, who was born in June in the US, should be listed behind her brother Archie
- But official website still lists Prince Andrew as eighth in line seven weeks later
Meghan and Harry's daughter Lilibet has yet to be added to the Royal Family's line of succession listed on the official website seven weeks after her birth.
Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on June 4 in the US and is eighth in line to the throne.
But the Royal Family's website has yet to recognise Lilibet's birth on the official line of succession.
The website, which helps keep the public up to date on matters relating to the House of Windsor, still lists Prince Andrew as eighth in line and Harry and Meghan's daughter's name is still absent.
Lilibet should be listed at eighth under her brother Archie whose name was added to the list just 15 days after he was born in 2019.
When her cousin Prince Louis was born, the second son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, his name was added to the list just 12 days after he was born.
Zara and Mike Tindall's son Lucas, who is 22nd in line to the throne, has been listed on the website since his birth in March.
Lilibet was born in June and was named after the Queen's childhood nickname while her middle name Diana was in tribute to Harry's late mother.
It comes in the aftermath of Harry and Meghan's explosive two-hour CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Lilibet is FINALLY added to the line of succession on Royal Family's official website seven weeks after birth of Harry and Meghan's daughter
- Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor born on June 4 in Santa Barbara, California
- She has finally been added to Royal Family line of succession on official website
- Update comes three days after the omission was highlighted by royal experts
- Harry and Meghan's trusted journalist friend Omid Scobie reveals addition
- Buckingham Palace spokesman says official website is 'updated periodically'
Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's second child, was born on June 4 in Santa Barbara, California, and is eighth in line to the throne.
The update to royal.uk comes three days after the omission was highlighted by royal experts, who pointed out that Prince Andrew was still listed as eighth in line.
And as for her cousin Prince Louis, who is the second son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, his name was added to the list just 12 days after he was born.
Zara and Mike Tindall's son Lucas, who is 22nd in line to the throne, has been listed on the website since his birth in March.
'And they have done it for some of the other children like August that have been born as well. So where's Lilibet? I can forgive them a week or two but a month?'
Mr Ship suggested the omission after such a lengthy period of time was 'a little petulant'.
He added: 'Is it them saying, 'We will get around to it when ready?' It does feel like to me, maybe, they are making a point.'
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said the Royal Family website is 'updated periodically'.
Last month Harry and Meghan launched an unprecedented legal attack on the BBC after the corporation claimed the couple did not ask the Queen if they could name their daughter Lilibet.
Harry and Meghan instructed lawyers on June 9 to contest comments from the BBC's 'palace source'.
The couple said it was 'false and defamatory' to suggest the monarch had 'never been asked' if they could use her nickname.
For her 40th birthday, Meghan #DuchessofSussex is launching 40x40, a global effort encouraging people to commit 40 minutes of their time to mentor & support women going back to work. The Duchess asked 40 people including @melissamccarthy Adele Gloria Steinem to take part pic.twitter.com/ehKa4WvUUB

Transcript: Meghan and Melissa launch Duchess' '40x40' campaign in comedy video call
Meghan: Hey Melissa, do you have a second?
Melissa: Hey yeah, of course. I'm working on that email I told you I was going to do - that organic garden? That's what I'm doing.
Meghan: You know your camera's on, right? I can see you.
Melissa: Aha, hang on, I'll be right back.
Meghan: No no, it's no problem, its fine.
Melissa: I think this will probably seem better for you.
Meghan: Ok, it's my 40th birthday and I've got an idea.
Melissa: I know what it is.
Meghan: Really?
Melissa: My first guess- is it another photoshoot under a tree where you're looking very peaceful?
Meghan: Peaceful under tree is me every day.
Melissa: No? Ok. Are we finally getting matching tattoos?
Meghan: I mean, you know I already have something very similar across my back.
Melissa: This one's you, and that one's me, cause sometimes I'm like: Are we twinsies?
Meghan: You know, maybe we save it for when I turn 50.
Melissa: Are you finally going to do a Suits reunion.
Meghan: Why would I do a Suits reunion for my birthday?
Melissa: Why would the cast of Friends do a reunion for my birthday? But they did it.
Meghan: They did say they would only ever do it for a historical event. I think the bigger idea is -
Melissa: Yacht party, yacht party! Who's ready for a yacht? When you say no yacht, do you mean zero yachts?
Meghan: No, here's the idea. Because I'm turning 40, I'm asking 40 friends to donate 40 minutes of their time to help mentor a woman who's mobilising back into the workforce. Over two million women in the US alone and tens of millions around the world have lost their jobs due to Covid. And I think if we all do it and all commit 40 minutes to some sort of active service, we can create a ripple effect. You in?
Melissa: Yes times 40. Forty forty forty, and then 40 times I say yes. Is it ok if I still do it in the hat?
Meghan: I wouldn't expect anything else.
Melissa: Thanks friend. Bye friend.
Meghan: Cheers.
Melissa: See you at 50.
1. Decorative glass bottles
Given one of two-year-old Archie's first words was 'hydrate', it makes sense that the Duchess should have a bottle of water to hand in her study. Perched on the edge of her expansive desk is a tall glass swing top bottle and two his and hers glasses.
During a lighthearted moment in Meghan and Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, the Duchess said their talkative toddler's new favourite thing to say is 'hydrate', a week after his doting dad told James Cordon's Late Late Show that Archie's first word had surprisingly been 'crocodile.'
2. White flowers
Almost taking centre-stage on the desk, between two stylish white in-trays, is an elegant gold vase housing a bunch of large white roses.
The Duchess is known to be a fan of the blooms, having previously sent a large bouquet of pink roses to her friend Jessica Mulroney, and the colour is an appropriate choice for her neutral colour-scheme.
White roses are often used at weddings (though Meghan opted for different blooms in the same shade) because they symbolise purity, however they're also said to represent youthfulness, innocence, young love and loyalty.
Meanwhile the paper organisers resemble white wood ones by Threshold - sold at Target, a large American department store, and priced at an affordable £7.83.

Just in front of the flowers a silver picture frame can be seen, which another camera angle reveals is most likely a photo of Archie.
Three further grainy black and white photos can be seen in a connected frame in front of this, with the central one seeming to show Harry kissing a baby and one on the right potentially showing Meghan holding a young child - perhaps the first snap of Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
The Sussexes have not yet released any photographs of their daughter, who was born exactly two months ago on June 4 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and is eighth in line to the throne.
Archie has also rarely been seen since the couple stepped back as senior royals in March last year, with the most recent picture of him released to mark his second birthday this May showing him with his back to the camera.

3. Stacks of The Bench
Perhaps strategically placed towards the front of the camera frame was a rather large stack of 11 copies of Meghan's new children's book The Bench.
They appear to be special edition hardbacks, as they look significantly larger than your average book. The Duchess claimed the book showed 'another side of masculinity' in a message to thank readers after it became a New York Times bestseller.
In a statement on the Archewell website, she said: 'While this poem began as a love letter to my husband and son, I’m encouraged to see that its universal themes of love, representation and inclusivity are resonating with communities everywhere. In many ways, pursuing a more compassionate and equitable world begins with these core values.'
However, the book failed to hit the UK Official Top 50 chart after selling just 3,212 copies in its first week - being beaten by footballer Marcus Rashford's self-help guide.

4: Hermes £1,240 throw blanket
On first glance, the cream cushioned chair beside Meghan looked to feature the letter 'H' - a nod to Harry's initial - as part of its design.
However, on closer inspection it appears the Duchess had intricately placed a decorative Hermes throw blanket, priced at £1,240.
Made in Scotland, the Avalon III jacquard woven wool and cashmere throw is finished with blanket stitch and comes in Coco/Camomille - the shade chosen by Meghan - or Écru/Gris Clair.
The blanket blended perfectly well with her minimalist decor and colour scheme of neutral earth tones, creams and white.

5. Healing quartz crystal
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have already revealed they own a collection of crystals that are scattered around their Montecito mansion; during a conference call they held earlier this year, eagle-eyed fans spotted a celestine crystal in the background.
Placed beside her stack of copies of the bench is a large white crystal, traditionally considered to be a 'master healer' - appropriate for a woman who has just given birth.
It's said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing and regulating it, as well as aid concentration and memory.
The Duchess is a long-standing proponent of spiritual practices including meditation and yoga - a hobby also taken up by her husband - and has previously touted crystals for their healing properties.

6. English tea and biscuits
They may have left the UK for America, but there's one British tradition Meghan appears to have embraced wholeheartedly - that of tea and biscuits.
Perched on an elegant silver tray with gold handles is an intricately patterned monochrome teacup and saucer, beside a matching plate with a chocolately treat.
The crockery set is from English brand Twinings, which is based in Andover, Hampshire, appropriately from its Burleigh Black Regal peacock collection.
It features an oriental bird motif, hand-decorated at Middleport Pottery with a black and white palette. One teacup and saucer is priced at £30 each, however it's currently out of stock.

7. Stone fireplace
The Sussexes' Italian villa style home features several large open stone fireplaces, with this one possibly being the grandest of the lot.
The elaborate opening is concealed by two carved iron doors, suggesting it's perhaps not in regular use - especially with the warm summer Montecito temperatures - though there are soot marks above it, perhaps from cosy winter evenings.
On top of the mantelpiece, though out of shot in this latest video, is a black and white print of a bear holding the state of California in its paws, printed with the words 'I love you California'. The phrase refers to the state's official anthem, published in 1913 and later adopted by California 1951 and confirmed in 1987 as its official song.
8. Luxury dog cushion
The couple's dog makes a sleepy cameo in the royal's 40th birthday address - but doesn't look entirely happy about being woken from his slumber.
The adorable beagle, Guy, is seen snoozing on a sizeable grey-and-white striped pillow behind Meghan, and as his owner's conversation becomes more animated, the pet is disturbed from its slumber and glares at the camera filming the action.
Guy, who moved to Kensington Palace with the Duchess of Sussex in 2017, was adopted by Meghan when she lived in Toronto while starring in Suits, and had been just days away from being put down. A Dog's Dream Rescue, the dog shelter in Toronto that saved Guy, described how he was placed in a 'kill shelter' after being found wandering in the woods in Kentucky in 2015.
Guy is not the only family member making an appearance - Prince Harry is also seen juggling in the background.
