Recently, Meghan Markle came under fire for allegedly copying Lilibet’s name well before the child was born.
Following the publication of Robert Hardman’s latest book, Charles III, royal biographer, everything started.
“One [aide] privately recalled that Elizabeth II had been ‘as angry as I’d ever seen her’ in 2021 after the Sussexes announced that she had given them her blessing to name their baby daughter ‘Lilibet,’ the Queen’s childhood nickname,” according to the Daily Mail, which cited one of its major quotes.
The Queen supposedly added, “I don’t own the palaces or the paintings, only my name, and now they’ve taken that,” at one point in the reported conversation.
Angela Levin, a royal analyst, has also come forward in place of that statement, telling GB News, “That’s an incredibly sad comment. I think one of the reasons she felt that way was because it was discovered that Megan, even before Lilibet was born, had taken out the names officially so that she could use them to buy things and to identify them.”
“I think that was awful for the Queen before she had Lilibet,” she continued, “because the name is so unique, she gets drawn into owning organizations.”
“This name is specifically for her because, as a young child, she was unable to say Elizabeth. She was also called by her parents, siblings, and the Duke of Edinburgh.”Those who are unaware of that will assume that the Queen is endorsing this; thus, let’s purchase it. She went on, “I think it’s appalling,” before concluding.
