A stunning new claim has ignited royal circles once again: Meghan Markle allegedly copyrighted the name “Lilibet” before her daughter was even born, according to revelations in a new book by respected royal author Robert Hardman.
The bombshell centers around the name “Lilibet” — the deeply personal childhood nickname of Queen Elizabeth II, used only by her parents, sister, and Prince Philip. It was the Queen’s most intimate name, tied to her earliest years and reserved exclusively for those closest to her.
But in 2021, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose it for their newborn daughter — and now it’s being alleged that Meghan secured rights to the name in advance, sending shockwaves through the Palace.
Royal insiders claim the late Queen was left “as angry as I’ve ever seen her” after Harry and Meghan announced she had given her blessing — a claim the BBC later contradicted, citing Palace sources who insisted she was never asked.
According to Hardman’s book Charles III: New King, New Court, Queen Elizabeth reportedly expressed heartbreaking frustration:
“I don’t own the palaces or the paintings, only my name — and now they’ve taken that.”
Royal biographer Angela Levin blasted the couple on GB News, calling their behaviour “appalling.”
