Royal-ly cute: 10 OTHER baby girl names with royal connections we absolutely loveAdd us as a preferred source on Google »

Baby Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor has arrived – and has been dominating headlines across the world ever since.

The name Meghan and Harry picked for their little girl is rather adorable (paying homage, of course, to both his grandmother – whose nickname since childhood has been Lilibet – and his mother, Diana, the Princess of Wales). However, if you are currently expecting a princess of your very own, and keen to pick a name with a slight royal vibe, you don't have to steal Lilibet – not when Europe is rife with princesses whose names are so cute they are totally worth stealing. Don't believe us? Take a look: 1. Leonor The lovely Princess Leonor, who was born in 2005, is the first child of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain. 2. Ingrid 17-year-old Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway is the eldest daughter of Crown Pince Haakon Magnus and his wife, Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway. 3. Madeleine Princess Madeleine of Sweden, Duchess of Hälsingland and Gästrikland is the second daughter and youngest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. 4. Estelle Princess Estelle of Sweden is the eldest child of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, as well as the eldest grandchild of King Carl XVI Gustaf, making her second in line for the Swedish throne after her mother. 5. Sofia Princess Infanta Sofia of Spain (she uses Sofia as her daily moniker) is the younger daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. 6. Martha Princess Märtha Louise of Norway is the eldest daughter of King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway. 7. Margrethe Margrethe II is Queen of Denmark. Born into the House of Glücksburg, a royal house with origins in northern Germany, she is the eldest child of Frederick IX of Denmark and Ingrid of Sweden. 8. Amalia Princess Catharina Amalia of the Netherlands is the eldest of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands' three daughters. 9. Isabella Princess Isabella of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat is a member of the Danish royal family. She is the second child and elder daughter of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. 10. Alexia Princess of Alexia of the Netherlands is the second daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima.
