Reports have surfaced, leaving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle genuinely 'shocked,' alleging that their choice to name their daughter Lilibet stirred considerable displeasure in the late Queen Elizabeth II. The chosen moniker, coined by the departed monarch, has become a focal point of controversy.
An informed insider, speaking exclusively to Us Weekly, shed light on the aftermath of the negativity besieging the couple. The source vehemently asserted that the couple did, indeed, secure explicit permission from the Queen for the use of the name Lilibet.
Pushing back against the circulating reports, the source dismissed them as part of a calculated 'smear campaign' targeting the couple.
"The report is unequivocally false. The origins of this narrative are unknown to them. [They are] taken aback by its sudden emergence; it seems to materialize from the shadows. They perceive it as another facet of the ongoing smear campaign directed at them."
"They find it rather convenient [that] this surfaces now, with the Queen unable to defend herself, leaving the veracity of the claims unverified," the source emphasized.
This narrative follows earlier reports suggesting that the couple incurred the Queen's displeasure by naming their daughter Lilibet without soliciting her permission, a claim vehemently denied by the couple.
