However, little Lilibet's name has also been the subject of controversy recently as reports emerged claiming that the late Queen was left "furious" after the couple named their daughter after her, with the pair insisting they asked her for permission before they used it. A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan insisted at the time that the duke spoke to his grandmother in advance and would not have used the name had the monarch not been supportive of the use of her nickname.
Lilibet was first used when Princess Elizabeth was just a toddler and unable to pronounce her own name properly. Her grandfather King George V would affectionately call her Lilibet imitating her own attempts to say Elizabeth. The sweet nickname stuck and she became Lilibet to her family from then on.

According to the author, the late Queen was so upset by the situation, she told her aides: "I don't own the palaces, I don't own the paintings, the only thing I own is my name. And now they've taken that."
But an insider said the Sussexes are reportedly shocked at the latest claims, and insist the allegations made in the book are not true, according to the Express. They said: "Meghan and Harry 100 percent got permission from the Queen to use the name Lilibet. The report is not true."
