Meghan Markle’s comment about daughter Lilibet puts Harry in bad light as she creates another ‘fire’ in royal family

Meghan Markle has officially wrapped up her Archetypes spinoff, Confessions of a Female Founder, and left listeners with more than just entrepreneurial insights.

In the final episode, which featured billionaire Spanx founder Sara Blakely, Markle not only highlighted the challenges women face in business but also waded back into royal controversy, this time with a remark that has reignited the long-standing debate over the naming of her daughter, Princess Lilibet.

Although most of the conversation between Markle and Blakely centered on navigating career ambition and motherhood, a seemingly offhand comment made by the Duchess of Sussex has drawn widespread attention.

When discussing the naming of children, Meghan made it explicitly clear that outside opinions are unwelcome and irrelevant.

“You’re like, ‘What do you think?'” Markle said. “It’s no different – I will say this to every woman in the world or every person in the world who’s going to have a child – if you have an idea about what you are going to name that baby, you keep it so close to your heart until that baby is born and it’s named. Don’t ask anyone’s opinion.”

Did Harry and Meghan really ask the Queen?

Royal watchers quickly noted the deeper implications, particularly because of the ongoing dispute over the couple’s decision to name their daughter Lilibet, a deeply personal nickname once reserved for Queen Elizabeth II.

The late monarch was called “Lilibet” by her father and her husband, Prince Philip. For years, it was considered an intimate family name never used outside a very small circle.

After Meghan and Prince Harry announced their daughter’s name in 2021, a firestorm erupted across British media and royal circles. Prince Harry claimed that he had asked his grandmother’s permission to use the name and that she gave her blessing. But multiple royal insiders and even palace sources offered a different version.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not ask the Queen about naming their daughter Lilibet,” a palace source told the BBC in 2021. BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond added,

“Palace source tells BBC that the Queen was not asked by Meghan and Harry over the use of her childhood nickname; reports suggested Harry had sought permission from Queen to call newborn ‘Lilibet’; but Palace source says the Queen was ‘never asked.'”

Shortly afterward, the Sussexes pushed back. A spokesperson for the couple issued a firm rebuttal: “The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement – in fact, his grandmother was the first family member he called. During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honor. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.”
