Meghan Markle’s Controversial Move with Lilibet’s Name Sparks Royal Fury

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself at the center of a royal storm after it was revealed that she copyrighted her daughter Lilibet's name before the little one was even born.

This revelation, according to a royal expert, has left Queen Elizabeth II fuming.

The tension escalated when allegations surfaced suggesting that Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, claimed the late Queen had given them permission to use her childhood nickname for their daughter.

The name Lilibet holds deep significance as it was a cherished nickname bestowed upon Queen Elizabeth during her childhood.

It was reportedly used by her family, especially King George V, her grandfather.

However, sources close to the royal family indicate that the Queen was not consulted about the name choice, contradicting claims made by the Sussexes.

A palace insider noted that the Queen was unable to refuse but felt blindsided by the announcement.

In a serialized excerpt from Robert Hartman's book, “Charles III, New King, New Court, The Inside Story,” it was revealed that the Queen was incredibly upset when she learned of the name choice, especially since it was tied so closely to her identity.

Hartman quoted the Queen expressing her frustration, stating, “I don't own the palaces or the paintings, only my name, and now they've taken that.”

Royal biographer Angela Levin did not hold back in her criticism, labeling Meghan's actions as appalling.

She emphasized that the decision to copyright the name before Lilibet's birth was a clear move to assert ownership over something deeply personal to the Queen.

During an interview, Levin confirmed that Meghan did indeed copyright the name, further deepening the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family.

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born on June 4, 2021, in Santa Barbara, California.

Since then, Meghan has been navigating her relationship with the royal family, particularly as she prepares for potential peace talks with them.

A royal insider disclosed that Meghan is anxious about facing her estranged family again, stating that the wounds from her time within the royal fold run deep.

As the couple settles into their new home in Portugal, which is close to Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, speculation grows about how this may affect their ties to the royal family.

The property is seen as a strategic move, allowing them a European base for visits to the UK, especially after their eviction from Frogmore Cottage last year.

Despite these developments, Meghan's nerves are palpable.

She reportedly feels the need to stand her ground and show that she won't be sidelined while Harry negotiates with the royals.

The couple stepped back from their roles as senior royals in 2020, and since then, their relationship with the family has grown increasingly strained due to various public claims and revelations made by the Sussexes.

Meanwhile, Meghan's emotional state has come under scrutiny following harsh comments from Tina Brown, a prominent biographer of Princess Diana.

Brown's critique, which labeled Meghan as having “the worst judgment of anyone,” left the Duchess reportedly inconsolable.

Sources indicate that Meghan admired Brown and was devastated by the remarks, feeling betrayed by someone she looked up to.

Royal fans have expressed sympathy for Meghan, with some suggesting that Princess Diana would have understood her struggles.

However, Meghan has faced her share of criticism, with reports of her being labeled “Duchess Difficult” due to alleged behavior that has left staff in tears.

In the midst of these personal challenges, Meghan's business ventures are also under scrutiny.

Her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which was soft-launched in March, has raised concerns among PR experts.

Some believe that the brand's future looks uncertain, with investors feeling anxious about its viability.

PR expert Matt Yernofsky voiced his skepticism about the brand's success, suggesting that it appears to be struggling to meet initial expectations.

He noted that while there may be potential for a hit product, the overall outlook seems grim, prompting worries about how investors might recoup their investments.

With all these developments unfolding, Meghan Markle finds herself navigating a complex web of family dynamics, public perception, and business ambitions, all while trying to carve out her identity away from the royal spotlight.
