The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently welcomed their baby daughter in California, and they decided to name her Lilibet after the late Queen Elizabeth II.
However, this choice has stirred up controversy and risks deepening the rift within the royal family.
In a surprising claim, it has been suggested that Queen Elizabeth II was unhappy about her great-granddaughter’s name.
This revelation has come from a royal author who quoted a palace insider stating that the late Queen was outraged by the public assertion made by the Sussexes.
According to Robert Hardman’s new book, “Charles III, New King.
New Court.
The inside story,” one member of staff claimed that the late Queen was extremely angry about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s statement regarding the use of her family nickname.
They had stated that they would not have used the name if she had not been supportive.
This claim has once again divided public opinion and is expected to further fuel tensions within the royal family.
Offa Hagen, a royal commentator, expressed her views on the matter, stating, “We’ve already discussed Lilibet’s name when she was born, and to bring up this issue again is rather unkind.
It will definitely reignite the arguments of those who believe that Harry and Meghan were wrong about everything.
It’s quite unfair because she’s just a little baby, and it’s her name.”
Naming a child after their grandmother is often seen as a sweet gesture, and many people find it endearing.
In June 2021, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex asserted that they had consulted with the royal family before making the name announcement.
They claimed that Prince Harry had spoken to his family, and his grandmother was the first person he informed.
During their conversation, they expressed their desire to honor the Queen by naming their daughter Lilibet.
They also emphasized that if she had not been supportive, they would not have chosen the name.
However, not everyone is sympathetic towards the Sussexes.
Piers Morgan, a well-known TV personality, publicly criticized their decision, calling it “disgusting” to his millions of followers on X.
As expected, this sparked a heated debate, with some people supporting the Sussexes and others questioning the need for permission to use a name.
One user responded, “Give it a rest,” while another asked, “Did all the other women ask Elizabeth for permission to use her name as their daughter’s middle name?
Kate Eugenie.”
Another commenter added, “Why should they need permission to use a name though?
Seems a bit ridiculous.”
