LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace says Peter Phillips and his wife, Autumn, have had a baby girl — giving Queen Elizabeth II her second great-grandchild.

Isla Elizabeth Phillips, born Thursday, weighed in at 7 pounds and 4 ounces (3.29 kilograms).

She will be 13th in line to the British throne, after her older sister Savannah.

The palace said Friday that the 85-year-old queen, her husband the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and Autumn's family are delighted by the news.

Peter Phillips is the son of Princess Anne. He married Montreal-born Autumn in May 2008.
