Meghan Markle Stuns Queen and Doria with Unexpected Choice for Daughter’s Name

In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have left the Queen and Doria Ragland dumbfounded with their choice of name for their newborn daughter.

The Queen had given Prince Harry permission to name his daughter after her, assuming the name would be Elizabeth.

However, the couple decided to name their daughter Lilibet instead, catching both the Queen and Doria off guard.

According to a close friend and interior designer to the royals, socialite Nicky Haslam, the Queen was taken aback when she learned of the name choice.

Haslam, who has connections to various members of the royal family, made this revelation during a recent podcast.

He also suggested that Meghan and Harry should have named their daughter after Meghan's mother, Doria.

This decision to exclude Doria from Lilibet's names has raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about the couple's intentions.

It has been noted that Meghan and Harry have been vocal about their desire to distance themselves from the royal institution, yet they continue to use their royal titles and even named their child after the Queen.

This omission of Doria's name further adds to the confusion surrounding their actions.

Royal watchers have commented on the situation, stating that it would have been meaningful to include Doria's name if the intention was to honor the strong women in their lives.

While it has been suggested that the name Lily is a nod to Doria, royal expert Mr. Myers expressed doubt about this theory.

He also shared his surprise at the absence of any reference to Meghan's mother in the names chosen for their child.

Adding to the intrigue, Haslam alleged that the Queen was under the impression that the child would be named Elizabeth.

He claimed that Prince Harry had called the Queen and asked for permission to name their daughter after her.

The Queen, assuming it would be Elizabeth, graciously gave her blessing.

However, she was surprised to learn that they had chosen Lilibet instead.

During the Third Act podcast, Haslam questioned why Meghan and Harry didn't choose to name their baby after Doria instead.

He described Doria as having the “prettiest name ever” and expressed his confusion over their decision.

The Sussexes' spokesperson did not comment on these claims when approached by the Daily Mail.

The fallout from this revelation has caused tension between both sides.

Doria was photographed leaving Meghan and Harry's mansion in the middle of the night, suggesting possible disagreement or disappointment.

Additionally, the Queen has reportedly refused to meet Lilibet and has forbidden any photos with her.

This naming controversy adds to the mystery surrounding Meghan and Harry's decision.

Last year, the BBC's Royal Correspondent claimed that the couple did not seek the Queen's permission to use her family pet name.

In response, the Sussexes launched a legal attack on the BBC, denying the story's accuracy.

It is clear that Lilibet holds sentimental value for the Queen, as it was a name used privately by her father, George VI, and her late husband, Prince Philip.

However, the exact details of the conversation between Prince Harry and the Queen regarding the name choice remain unknown.

As the public awaits further clarification, the intrigue surrounding Lilibet's name continues to captivate royal enthusiasts.

The decision to exclude Doria and surprise the Queen with their choice has sparked debate and speculation about Meghan and Harry's intentions and their relationship with the royal family.
