Prince Charles was so pleased to have an opportunity to gush about the newest member of his family: Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. The Prince of Wales, 72, spent some time at the MINI UK factory on June 8, discussing electric vehicles and his hope for the advancement of technology in the future, and referenced his new granddaughter in his remarks. “The development of technology like electric vehicles … is vital for maintaining the health of our world for future generations, something I am only too aware of today, having recently become a grandfather for the fifth time,” the royal said in footage from the video below.
“Such happy news really does remind one of the necessity of continued innovation in this area – especially around sustainable battery technology – in view of the legacy we bequeath to our grandchildren.”

“Such happy news really does remind one of the necessity of continued innovation in this area — especially around sustainable battery technology — in view of the legacy we bequeath to our grandchildren.” Prince Charles’ speech comes just two days after His Royal Highness’ official Instagram account released a statement, congratulating his second son, Prince Harry, 36, and daughter-in-law, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, 39, on the newest addition to their family.

“Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie on the arrival of baby Lilibet Diana,” a caption to a precious photo of Meghan, Harry and the couple’s two-year-old son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, read. “Wishing them all well at this time.” Meghan and Harry welcomed their precious baby girl on June 4, and took to their official foundation website, Archewell, to share the news.
