A former Royal aide alleged the late Queen Elizabeth II was furious that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said she gave them her blessing to name their daughter Lilibet after her, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their second child and first daughter on June 4, 2021. The proud parents said they chose to honor Harry's late mom, Princess Diana, and Queen Elizabeth II, giving her the name Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Prince Harry and Markle claimed the late Queen Elizabeth II was 'supportive' of them naming their daughter Lilibet.
At the time, a spokesperson for Prince Harry and Markle issued a public statement claiming the couple would not have used Queen Elizabeth's childhood nickname if she had not been "supportive" — but a former Royal aide alleged otherwise in an upcoming biography, Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story.
The former aide said that the late Queen was "as angry as I’d ever seen her" after learning of Prince Harry and Markle's public remarks.
