It’s been one week since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their second child, a baby girl that they named Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Now, Lili’s aunt Kate Middleton has broken her silence to address the birth of her new niece.

While visiting Connor Downs Academy in Hayle, England with the American First Lady Jill Biden, Kate was asked about Lili.

“I wish her all the very best. I can’t wait to meet her,” Kate said of Lili, according to Entertainment Tonight. “We haven’t met her yet. I hope that will be soon.”

Kate went on to say that she has not gotten the chance to FaceTime with Lili yet.

This comes after royal expert Katie Nicholl spoke out to say that the name that Meghan and Harry chose for Lili, who is named after Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana, is meant to be an “olive branch” to the royal family after a year that was full of tension.

“This family division has really gone on for a long time now, well over a year,” Nicholl said. “It has been many, many months since Charles and the Queen and the Cambridges have seen Archie in the flesh, we know that there has been some really quite deep problems between Harry and William, difficulties between Harry and his father and I think that it is everyone’s hope that this little baby will be a peace offering in many ways and that she will hope to bring this divided family back together.”

Nicholl previously said that Kate has been acting as a “peacemaker” between Harry and her husband Prince William.

“It’s always been my understanding that behind the scenes, Kate has tried very hard to forge a rapprochement and act as a peacemaker between William and Harry,” Nicholl said. “She loves Harry. She says that she is the sister that he never had. She has been heartbroken to see them fall out, and I think she is one of the few people, one of the few family members who would actually be able to push the brothers together, which she did in a very subtle way, but was very effective.”
