Expressions of goodwill also surfaced. “Aw! The kids are growing up so fast… May God bless them always,” one person shared. Another wrote, “Exactly what we’re gonna do when we get pregnant… everyone had an issue with the names we wanted.”

When Harry and Meghan announced the birth of their daughter on June 4, 2021, they said the name “Lilibet” was a tribute to both Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana. A statement from their foundation, Archewell, explained that “Lili” derived from the Queen’s childhood nickname, given when she struggled to pronounce “Elizabeth.”

Though Harry reportedly spoke to the Queen before the announcement and received her blessing, the story was later disputed. The BBC cited a Palace source claiming the Queen had not been consulted, sparking debate.

The Sussexes refuted that claim through their spokesperson and legal counsel, asserting that the Queen had been informed in advance and did not object.

“The duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement—in fact, his grandmother was the first family member he called,” their statement read.

Still, the public remained skeptical. The Queen’s nickname held significant emotional value, famously used in her private correspondence and on a funeral wreath for Lord Mountbatten. After her passing in 2022, the name’s emotional resonance only deepened.

Since leaving royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have faced relentless scrutiny, particularly regarding decisions that connect them to the monarchy. Meghan’s podcast advice has once again placed her under the microscope — and considering the past controversy, it’s no surprise that her comments stirred renewed backlash.
