Dispute arises over Princess Lilibet's name as Queen Elizabeth II reportedly expresses sadness

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle named their daughter Lilibet in honor of Harry's grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, when she was born on June 4, 2021. The name is a childhood nickname of the Queen. Reports suggest that the Queen was not pleased with the decision, feeling that her name was taken without her full approval. She reportedly expressed her sadness to palace aides, stating, "I don't own my name. And now they've taken that." Despite the Queen's reported feelings, Harry and Meghan maintain they sought her permission before naming their daughter. They stated that Harry spoke with the Queen before the announcement and would not have used the name without her support.
