In recent weeks, there has been speculation about Queen Elizabeth II’s feelings towards her grandson, Prince Harry, following claims that she was angered by the lilibet naming row.
According to reports, the Queen was upset when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stated that she had given her approval for their daughter’s name, Lilibet.
This name held deep personal significance for Her Royal Highness, as it originated from her childhood and was affectionately used by her late husband, Prince Philip.
However, despite this disagreement, the Queen’s love for Prince Harry remained unwavering until the very end, as revealed by royal author Robert Hardman.
In his new book, “Charles III, New King.
New Court.
The inside story,” Hardman sheds light on the Queen’s reaction to the public announcement of Lilibet’s name in June 2021.
According to a source mentioned in the book, the late monarch was furious upon learning that the couple had claimed to have obtained her permission to use her personal nickname.
The source describes the Queen’s anger as unparalleled.
Despite the tensions caused by the naming controversy and other attacks directed at the Royal Family by Prince Harry, one thing remained constant—the Queen’s love for her grandson.
Speaking on the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast, Hardman emphasized the deep bond between the Queen and Prince Harry, stating, “I mean, the Queen adored Harry, right to the end, and Harry adored her.
She met Lilibet and loved her great-granddaughter.
That was not an issue.”
However, what did become an issue was the way in which the Sussexes handled the aftermath of the naming announcement.
Hardman explains that the problem arose when the Sussexes released a statement claiming that the Queen had fully supported the name Lilibet and had given her blessing.
This statement, according to Hardman, led to speculation and assumptions that the Queen had indeed granted her approval.
However, the BBC later reported that the late Queen had not given her blessing for the couple’s daughter to bear the name Lilibet.
