Queen Elizabeth II ‘threw her paper to the floor after she found out about Princess Lilibet’s name’
Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly unhappy when she found out about Harry and Meghan’s daughter being named Lilibet.
Author Robert Jobson has divulged the claims in his new book, The Windsor Legacy: A Royal Dynasty of Secrets, Scandal and Survival.
Queen Elizabeth II’s ‘anger’ over Lilibet’s name
As reported by the MailOnline, Jobson has claimed that Queen Elizabeth was angry about how she discovered the news.
The late monarch allegedly read it in the papers, therefore finding out along with the rest of the world.
He claims that although the late queen had reportedly approved the name, “a palace source has a different version of events”.
He alleged that a source told him that the “queen first learned of Lilibet’s name from the morning press, and was so incensed at the affront that she threw the paper to the floor, startling her staff”.
A palace source seemed to confirm this at the time, telling the BBC that Harry had not consulted his grandmother about using her nickname for his daughter.
Despite the rumours, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex denied this.
Rumours surrounding Harry and Meghan’s decision
“The duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called.
During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name,” they stated, according to reports.
Royal Insider has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.
Another royal author, Robert Hardman, has made similar claims.
He said in his 2024 biography, Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story, that a member of staff spilled the beans on the queen’s rumoured anger at the time.
In his book, he alleged that the staff member had described the late monarch “as angry as I’d ever seen her”.
However, a source close to Meghan and Harry refuted the claims in 2024: “Meghan and Harry 100 percent got permission from the queen to use the name Lilibet.”
Harry and Meghan’s special tributes
The Sussexes said in a statement upon the arrival of their bundle of joy in June 2021: “Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet.
Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honour her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.”
Those close to the late queen famously nicknamed her Lilibet.
Even her father, King George VI, used the nickname. He once said: “Lilibet is my pride. Margaret is my joy.”
Prince Harry and Meghan now live in California with their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Lilibet.
