Even though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the West Coast a year ago, they are already looking forward to the future!

The pair recently welcomed their daughter, Lilibet Diana, on June 4, and they "are so happy," a close friend told PEOPLE. "This baby solidifies that they are creating roots here in the States."

"Lili becomes the fourth generation of amazing, strong women in the family-behind Meghan, Diana and her Majesty the Queen," Dean Stott, who is a friend of the couple, said. "Harry and Meghan now have their complete family. It's their time to be in the moment."

The former actress, 39, and the red-headed royal, 36, announced the exciting news on June 6.

"It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world," a statement said.

"Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home," the statement continued. "Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet. Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales."

Though Harry hasn't been on the best terms with his family, it seems like things might be looking up.

“This is the beginning of a new chapter within the family that will hopefully heal old wounds. Finally, there is hope that the family can reunite,” an insider told The Royal Observer. “No one knew it at the time, but when Archie was born, Harry and Meghan were so angry with the family that they wanted nothing to do with them moving forward. That is why they broke all traditions and went with a totally new royal name. Now things have changed and they both very much want their daughter to be part of the family, which is why they chose the name Lilibet, the Queen’s childhood nickname.”
