Did Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan consult his grandmother the queen before bestowing her childhood nickname, Lilibet, on their new baby daughter?
The couple s ongoing conflict with the British media and with their critics within Buckingham Palace s senior courtier corps provoked Harry and Meghan to issue a rare statement on Wednesday insisting – contrary to a report by the BBC – that they
did discuss the baby s name with Queen Elizabeth II before the name was announced.
A spokesperson for the couple told USA TODAY that the queen was supportive when Prince Harry shared the name with her ahead of time and the couple would not have used the name had she objected.
