Hugh Grosvenor, a Billionaire aristocrat who is a long-term friend of the Duke of Sussex and Prince William, and his wife Olivia, married last year.
A spokesperson for the couple said: "The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are thrilled to announce the birth of their baby daughter.
"Both the duchess and Cosima are doing well.
"The duke and duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family."
They announced the pregnancy in March, with a spokesperson saying: "The couple are delighted with the news and are very much looking forward to starting a family together."
The Duke is godfather to Prince George, and also reportedly to Prince Archie.
During the couple's wedding at Chester Cathedral in June 2024, William acted as Usher.
Harry wasn't in attendance amid his long-running rift with his brother.
Hugh had previously been considered one of the country's most eligible bachelors.
He became an instant billionaire when he inherited his title, and the historic Grosvenor Estate, aged 25 following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016.
Duke of Westminster's wedding exposed Harry & William's brutal rift - one encounter would've been excruciating, says pro
His property company, Grosvenor Group, owns hundreds of acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as major city developments like Liverpool's One shopping centre.
In 2020, Hugh donated £12.5 million to the Covid-19 relief effort across NHS Charities Together, as well as across medical research and development.

ITV Love Island's Harry Cooksley has fans concerned over 'fetish' in latest episode
Love Island fans spotted a "weird" moment between Harry Cooksley and Shakira Khan on Monday night's episode as friends and family arrived in the villa. Love Island 's Harry Cooksley has sparked concern among viewers following a "weird" interaction with Shakira Khan in the latest episode. Monday night, July 28, saw friends and family join the Islanders in the villa. The duo recently became an item after Harry ended things with Helena Ford to pursue a relationship with Shakira. In an attempt to have "baby steps" their flirtation escalated in the dressing room during Monday's episode. A cuddle session led to a humorous moment where they tried to figure out which one of them was emitting an unpleasant odour, prompting Shakira to fetch some deodorant. Audiences were left shocked when Harry seemed let down as Shakira left his embrace to freshen up and then handed him the deodorant. Viewers soon took to Twitter, as one viewer wrote: "Harry having a fetish for armpits is diabolical." Another voiced their thoughts: "This armpit fetish of Harry is so weird oh my #loveisland." A third chimed in: "Harry's fetish for smell is concerning guys. #LoveIsland." Echoing the sentiment, a fourth added: "Harry really does have a weird armpit fetish #LoveIsland." This follows an earlier incident that had viewers feeling queasy when Harry's ex, Emma Munro, who left the villa last week, invited him to sniff her armpits. Around the fire pit, Emma discussed the "dangerous" intensity of their past connection and playfully suggested Harry smell her armpits, knowing his preference. Raising her arm, she teased: "Do you want a sniff?" and he responded: "You know I do." Emma quipped: "I know you liked to smell them" as the duo burst into laughter, before Harry admitted: "That took everything not to sniff your armpit there, it took all of me." Following the odd on-air moment, viewers rushed to social media in dismay, with one fan exclaiming: "Armpit sniffing... Harry has officially reached a new low." Another viewer commented: "Emma and Harry talking about how badly he wants to sniff her armpit on national TV I'm sick to my stomach." A different individual remarked: "WHAT IS GOING ON? ! Harry talking about how he really struggled to not sniff her armpit... one of the strangest things I've ever watched." Elsewhere, Harry's best pal Harry and mum Julia arrived in the villa in tonight's show alongside Shakira's sister Shanti and mum Sukina. Cutting to the core of recent issues, Shakira tells her family of Harry: 'I adore him and I really wish I didn't, that's the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don't.' Her mum Sukina says: 'What I will say, with him, he can prove himself to you before he has to prove himself to me.' The other Islanders then watch on tenterhooks as the two families come together at the firepit. As Harry walks over to the Firepit ready to greet them, Helena's mum Sukina keeps her seat and tells him: 'We're not hugging Harry.' Sukina goes on to comment on him ending things with Helena, saying: 'I think the whole of the UK is [surprised]. I'm sorry, but we thought it was 'undeniable' Harry.'

We're Benidorm superfans – we've spent 5-figure sum in seven years… here's the reasons it's the best place to holiday
The couple avoid the spots frequented by large stag dos and hen parties but reveal they now have no plans to holiday elsewhere ever again FEVER ESPANA We're Benidorm superfans – we've spent 5-figure sum in seven years… here's the reasons it's the best place to holiday Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT was the home of the beloved British comedy for over a decade, but to Mark and Karen Gregory, Benidorm is no joke. The superfans of the Spanish town have holidayed there 25 times. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Mark and Karen Gregory have holidayed in Benidorm a whopping 25 times Credit: Mark Gregory 5 The couple have spent over £30k in the last seven years sunning themselves in Benidorm Credit: Mark Gregory The couple, both 50, have spent over £30,000 in the last seven years sunning themselves in Benidorm, located in Costa Blanca, after falling in love with it during their first visit in 2018. And the pair, from Swansea, now have no plans to holiday elsewhere ever again, despite anti-tourism protests in some Spanish resorts. Mark says: 'We used to go to Majorca and the Canaries, until we spotted a deal for a trip to Benidorm one day. 'We thought we'd try it for a week and we were so pleasantly surprised that my wife started looking for accommodation to go again as soon as we got home. 'It's the very best place to holiday. "The people who have bad opinions about it have never been. 'We aren't big drinkers but enjoy the budget alcohol. "The pints are 80 cents and bottles of cava are €2.' The couple often return to the same haunts every time they visit — enjoying a pint at the Western Saloon, dinner at Country Ribs or Kathmandu curry house, and cocktails at the Hotel California Beach Club. 'Stag groups zigzag home at 6am' They even love seeing the same Meat Loaf tribute act, often referred to as 'Meatloaf Benidorm', at venue Jokers. Moment huge fight breaks out at Benidorm swimming pool in front of shocked tourists Referencing the sitcom, which aired from 2007 to 2018, Mark reflects: 'The TV show is about typical Brits in the sun, but that's only about ten per cent of the place. 'Yes, you get your typical beer-bellied Brits abroad, but there is a much nicer, quieter side too. "We mainly go outside of the peak season as it's much cheaper, but there's entertainment all year round. 'People do have their own opinions of Benidorm and it is a bit of a 'Marmite' resort — but lots fall in love with it and we can see why.' The couple enjoy the year-round nightlife, particularly the live music, tribute and drag acts. And they love it so much they've visited 25 times since late 2018 — barring the pandemic lockdowns — having spent over £30,000 at various resorts in the town. Mark said: 'We mainly stick to the winter but we've been in May a couple of times. "In winter it can be nearly 40 per cent cheaper — not just to get there, but at the bars and restaurants too. 'And there is still so much to do — you never get bored.' The couple say they avoid the spots frequented by large stag dos and hen parties. Karen said: 'We know the spots to avoid. 'Simply the best' "But we do still occasionally see the stag groups zigzagging home at 6am. 'There's plenty of mad behaviour to see sometimes — and plenty of people passed out on benches.' But they find lots of quieter locations to enjoy their evenings. 5 A George Michael tribute act performs in one of Benidorm's clubs Credit: SWNS 5 A drag act takes to the stage at the holiday resort Credit: SWNS Some of their favourite nights out have been to see a Pink Floyd tribute act, a Tom Jones tribute and a comedian called Tony Scott. The couple largely stay in a self-catered apartment which they visit several times a year — and get a discount because of their loyalty, which keeps costs low so they can afford more visits. But they don't mind, as all the local produce is better quality for their home-cooked meals. Mark explains: 'We do sometimes go for meals but Karen is coeliac so it's not that easy. 'The supermarkets are much better than in England and there are so many gluten-free options for us.' The couple say that since discovering their love for Benidorm they have only holidayed elsewhere once, in Tenerife. But nothing compared to their beloved Benidorm, so they have decided to forget further travel elsewhere. People do have their own opinions, but I don't like it when people share derogatory views about it when they've never been Mark Gregory Mark says: 'There are times we think we might be 'Benidormed out'. 'But then we realise it doesn't compare to anywhere else. And when we go, it just gets better and better.' They now have no plans to visit elsewhere, and live a frugal life at home so they can afford their £6,000-per-year trips. Mark added: 'Whenever we go back there are new places that have opened, but we like the familiarity. 'If we go to a new place it takes a few days to find our feet, whereas going here, it's like coming home.' He added: 'People do have their own opinions, but I don't like it when people share derogatory views about it when they've never been. 'If you've never tried it, and you've just watched the TV show or read about it, don't just jump on the bandwagon. Benidorm is quite simply the best.' 5 Karen poses with Benidorm's Meat Loaf impersonator Credit: SWNS Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.
