Queen Elizabeth II upset over Harry and Meghan's name claim

Queen Elizabeth II was allegedly furious with Harry and Meghan over their daughter's name.

In a recent revelation, it has been alleged that Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly furious with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over their claim that they had received her blessing to name their daughter Lilibet. According to a royal aide cited in the forthcoming biography 'Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,' the late monarch was said to be 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' regarding this matter. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not yet responded to these claims.

This latest development comes more than two years after a palace insider had previously stated that Queen Elizabeth was 'never asked' for her opinion on the naming of Lilibet before the child's birth in June 2021. This contradicts the couple's previous announcement that they had sought and received permission to use the Queen's childhood nickname. However, sources have confirmed that Prince Harry did speak to his grandmother after Meghan Markle gave birth to their daughter. It is presumed that the call was to inform her of the birth and their intention to name the baby after her.
