Details of the life of Isabel II, from her last hours before dying and, also, of his Windsor family. These are previously unpublished episodes that we know about thanks to the launch of the book. Charles III: New king, new court. The Inside Storyfrom the royal analyst of the Daily Mail Robert Hardman. In his text, the writer reveals the tantrum that the monarch felt when Harry and Meghan chose the name Lilibet for their daughter. Especially because in those days of June 2021, when the little girl was born, her happy parents announced that they had chosen this affectionate nickname for the monarch in her honor and that they also had her blessing. The Sussexes' version does not fit with that of the book, as stated in the aforementioned newspaper. The Sun He goes further and reveals, citing Hardman's text, how the monarch reacted.
As we said, the sovereign was very angry when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made that double announcement of calling their little Lilibet and also announcing that they had Her Majesty's support. “I never saw her so angry”: was the testimony of a person who worked on the palace staff, according to Hardman. Now The Sunwhich quotes MailOnlinerelates that Isabel II was fuming and that she vented this way to her assistants: “The palaces are not mine and neither are the paintings. The only thing I have is my name and they have taken it away from me.”
Following the thread of this version, BBC reporter Jonny Dymond reported that a person close to Buckingham Palace commented that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex never asked Elizabeth II what she thought about calling her daughter Lilibet. So, logically, even less so that they had the blessing of the sovereign to choose this intimate and personal nickname that only her family and her husband used.
