Queen Elizabeth is a great grandma again!

Peter and Autumn Phillips welcomed their daughter, Isla Elizabeth Phillips, at the Gloucester Royal Hospital on Thursday, a spokesperson for the couple tells Us Weekly. Weighing in at 7 lbs., 4 oz., little Isla joins big sister Savannah, 15 months; thirteenth in line for the British throne, she is Queen Elizabeth's second great-grandchild.

Peter was present at his second daughter's birth, the rep added. The royal family is said to be "delighted" by Isla's arrival.

Peter, 34, is the son of Princess Anne and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips; he and Autumn got married in May 2008 at Windsor Castle. His sister, Zara Phillips, wed rugby player Mike Tindall last summer at a wedding attended by all the royals — including Prince William and Kate Middleton plus Prince Harry, who even sang karaoke at the bash.

    >> and he invited the queen jokingly. and she politely declined.

    >> declined.

    >> she knows how to curtsy.

    >> and the queen stayed and posed for pictures. those are pictures that will last a lifetime.

    >> they were shocked. they said they'll never get over the fact that she actually showed up with prince philip . my thought is every wedding, every family has a weird uncle charlie who has more than one glass of wine at the wedding. how do you
