In a recent Twitter post, royal biographer Omid Scobie strongly criticized claims suggesting that Queen Elizabeth II was upset with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over their choice of name for their daughter, Princess Lilibet. Scobie expressed his concern, stating that these 'Lilibet revelations' were not portraying the late Queen in a favorable light. His post included screenshots from Gyles Brandreth's book 'Elizabeth,' which affirmed that the Queen saw her great-granddaughter's name as a compliment. Scobie further pointed out that these claims contradict information previously shared by the Palace and present a different image of the monarch.
This controversy stems from a royal aide's statement in journalist Robert Hardman's upcoming book, 'Charles III,' where it was alleged that the late Queen was furious when Harry and Meghan publicly claimed she had given her approval for the use of her childhood nickname. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have yet to respond to the aide's claim, which emerged more than a year after Queen Elizabeth's passing. Buckingham Palace has also refrained from commenting on the matter.
