On June 4, 2021, the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle They welcomed their second child together: a girl they named Lilibet Diana. The little girl’s name was chosen by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in honor of Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Diana.
Although the couple had to ask the monarch’s authorization before registering the little girl with her childhood nickname, the confusion that occurred in the middle of the dialogue between the 37-year-old prince and his grandmother was recently revealed because she thought they would use her real name.
Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did ask him about the possibility of his daughter bearing his name, Queen Elizabeth II believed that the girl would be named Elizabeth. This was announced by the British interior designer and socialite Nicky Haslam during his participation in the podcast The Third Actwhere he pointed out that the sovereign was unaware that they would use his childhood nickname.
“As far as I know, (Harry) dialed him and said: ‘We want to name our daughter after you, granny’. She said, ‘how lovely, thank you,’ thinking they would use the name ‘Elizabeth,'” she recounted, explaining that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “they got his permission, but they never told him the name“.
“Why didn’t they name their daughter ‘Doria’?“Nicky Haslam questioned, referring to the name of Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland. “It is the most beautiful name“Commented the interior designer, who maintains close friendships with British royals such as Camilla of Cornwall and Sarah Ferguson.
His words coincide with what was stated by the BBC after the girl’s birth in June 2021, when They indicated that the couple did not notify the monarch about the exact name that they had chosen for their daughter, despite the fact that they expressed their intentions to pay homage to her with it. After the accusation, the couple’s lawyers assured that this was “false and defamatory and should not be repeated”.
