Queen Elizabeth II Reportedly Angered by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Claim of Approval for Daughter's Name

The controversy over the naming of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter Lilibet continues, with a new book suggesting the Queen was not consulted and felt pressured to approve the use of her private childhood nickname.

Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly 'as angry as I'd ever seen her' when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle claimed she had given approval for their daughter to be named Lilibet, her private childhood nickname, according to a new book by royal biographer Robert Hardman.
The book, 'Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story,' suggests the Queen was not consulted about the use of the name and felt backed into a corner to approve it.
Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, announced the name Lilibet Diana for their daughter in June 2021, sparking controversy due to the deeply personal connotations of the nickname for the Queen.
Following reports that the Queen was 'never asked' about the use of the name, Harry and Meghan issued a statement saying they would not have used it had the Queen not been 'supportive.'
Harry and Meghan threatened legal action against the BBC for reporting that the Queen was not asked for permission to use the name, but no libel actions ever materialized.
