Queen Elizabeth II Was “Angry,” According to a former aide Meghan and Harry said that she approved of Lilibet’s name.
Lilibet, the baby of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, was named after the late Queen Elizabeth II. However, according to a former royal adviser, the monarch wasn’t pleased with how things transpired.
Elizabeth was reportedly “as angry as I’d ever seen her,” according to a former member of the queen’s staff, following Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42,’s public admission that they discussed the name of their second child, Lilibet, with the monarch. The assistant continued by claiming that the Sussexes were “rebuffed” when they approached the palace to assist in refuting a later claim that they had never requested the queen’s approval to use the name.
The forthcoming book Charles III: New King by Robert Hardman is the source of the latest accusation. New Court. The Inside Story, which is already being excerpted in the Daily Mail, will be available on bookstores later this month.
Lilibet, Harry and Meghan’s daughter, was born in June 2021. The couple also have a 4-year-old son, Archie. The pair said that she was named after her great-grandmother, “whose family nickname is Lilibet,” when they announced her birth. In remembrance of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, who passed away in a vehicle accident in 1997, she chose Diana as her middle name.
