Royal Fury: Queen Elizabeth Reportedly Upset Over Harry and Meghan’s Naming of Daughter Lilibet
A revelation from a new book has shed light on the late Queen Elizabeth's alleged anger following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's public statement claiming the monarch had approved the name Lilibet for their daughter.
The book, Charles III, New King, New Court, The Inside Story by Robert Hardman, serialized in the Daily Mail, discloses that a member of the royal staff described Queen Elizabeth's reaction as one of the angriest they had ever witnessed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joyfully welcomed their baby girl in California in 2021 and chose to name her Lilibet, a cherished nickname for the Queen within the royal family.
This endearing moniker dates back to the Queen's childhood when she was affectionately called Lilibet due to her young age and inability to pronounce her full name.
Contrary to the public assertions made by Harry and Meghan, reports emerged, including one from the BBC, suggesting that the Queen had not been formally consulted or given her blessing for the use of the name Lilibet.
While it was acknowledged that Harry had reached out to his grandmother, it was implied that her approval was not explicitly sought, and she may have been in a difficult position to refuse.
In response to these conflicting reports, a spokesperson for the Sussexes vehemently refuted the claims, asserting that the couple would not have selected the name Lilibet if the Queen had not expressed her support.
The spokesperson clarified that prior to the announcement, Prince Harry had a conversation with his family, with his grandmother being the first relative he contacted, sharing his desire to honor her through their daughter's name.
Amidst the controversy, legal representatives for the Sussexes, represented by the law firm Shillings, issued warnings to certain media outlets, disputing the allegations that the Queen had not granted permission for the name's use, labeling such claims as false and defamatory.
Commenting on the situation, Hardman highlighted the Queen's reported displeasure at the misrepresentation of her involvement in the naming decision.
The tensions escalated as the Sussexes attempted to involve the palace in supporting their version of events, only to face resistance.
Allegations of legal threats were made against those challenging their narrative, mirroring the standoff with the BBC.
The conflicting recollections surrounding the Queen's purported blessing underscored the complexity of the situation and the varying perspectives at play.
According to insights shared by royal experts, there is growing discontent within the royal family towards Prince Harry and Meghan.
Describing the strained relationship between Harry and his father, one acquaintance noted the King's profound sadness over the situation but also a sense of resignation that he has fulfilled his role and must now prioritize other responsibilities.
In the case of Prince William, sources revealed his hope for understanding and respect regarding his decision to remain silent amid his brother's public criticisms, particularly concerning his wife.
Harry's insinuations about the Windsor men's marital choices were perceived as a direct attack on Catherine, causing further strain within the family dynamics.
The fallout from these revelations has deepened existing rifts within the royal household, with Harry and Meghan's actions continuing to spark controversy and raise questions about their relationship with the wider family.
As the saga unfolds, the repercussions of their decisions reverberate through the corridors of power, leaving a legacy of discord and division in their wake.
