Queen Elizabeth 'Furious' Over Royal Baby Name
5 Jun
Summary
- Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly angered by the Sussexes' use of Lilibet.
- A book claims the Queen was angry after Harry and Meghan announced her blessing.
- The Sussexes threatened legal action over claims they misrepresented the Queen.
A recently published book claims Queen Elizabeth II was extremely angered by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to name their daughter Lilibet.
According to the book, the late monarch was reportedly 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' in 2021 after the Sussexes announced they had her blessing to use her childhood nickname for their baby.
A spokesperson for the Duke had previously stated that Prince Harry had spoken with his family, including the Queen, who was the first person he called, and shared their hope to name their daughter in her honor. The spokesperson added that they would not have used the name had she not been supportive.
However, the book suggests that when the Sussexes attempted to involve the Palace in verifying their account, they were rebuffed. The situation echoed the 'recollections may vary' response to the Oprah Winfrey interview. Despite issuing warnings of legal action against media outlets that disputed their version of events, such as the BBC, these threats did not lead to any lawsuits.
