And now we go to the most rebellious royals of the century, that’s right, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who have raised controversy once again due to the name they chose for their daughter: Lilibet. Although the baby is already turning two years old, this royal episode had not come to light until now.
According to Robert Hardman, biographer of the late Queen Elizabeth II, a member of the Palace staff personally told him that the queen had “never been so angry.” The queen’s anger was when she heard her grandson, the Duke of Sussex, openly say that he had her grandmother’s approval to name the girl like that.
Why Was Queen Elizabeth Upset With Meghan and Harry?
Maybe you’re thinking, why did this upset Queen Elizabeth? Well, Lilibet is the nickname with which those close to the queen referred to her since she was a child. Supposedly this is the reason why Harry chose her name, to honor his grandmother during her lifetime. But the controversy began since, as reported by the BBC, the prince never asked his grandmother for her approval. Other media report that this telephone conversation did take place between the queen and her grandson, only that the monarch was not in a position to say “no” when he asked her. Regardless of Elizabeth II’s annoyance or not, the girl is already going to be 3 years old and her name is Lilibet Diana.
