Prince Harry and Meghan Markle named their daughter after Queen Elizabeth II, using her monicker, Lilibet, for her first name, and Diana for her second name. It was a decision that, according to a new book, did not sit well with the late monarch.

In his book titled "Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story," out on Jan. 18, royal author Robert Hardman writes that the Queen was left infuriated after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed that she had given them their blessing to name their daughter Lilibet.
