Fuming Queen ‘cried “the only thing I own is my name & they’ve taken it” after Meghan & Harry named daughter Lilibet’
QUEEN Elizabeth was reportedly furious after Harry and Meghan said she had given her blessing to their daughter being called Lilibet, insiders have claimed.
The fuming monarch is said to have told 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," a source told MailOnline.
Although unlikely that Megan and Harry meant to cause upset, the row has erupted again as Robert Hardman launched his new biography: 'Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story'.
Hardman said a member of the late Queen's staff revealed that she was "as angry as I'd ever seen her" when the Duke and Duchess publicly said that they would not have used her private family nickname if she hadn't been "supportive."
BBC royal correspondent, Jonny Dymond, claimed hearing from a "Palace insider" that the Queen was "never asked" by Harry and Meghan about her childhood nickname.
Dymond said his source "disputed" reports that Harry and Meghan had talked to the Queen to get her approval before announcing the name, MailOnline reports.

But the Sussexes' spokesman was quick to refute the allegation, insisting that the Queen was the first family member Harry contacted with the joyful news of his long-awaited daughter's birth.
He said that during their conversation "he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name".
Filled with explosive claims, the book also claims how Prince William was left enraged after Harry's "blatant attack" against Kate in his Netflix documentary with Meghan.
The Duke of Sussex claimed there was a "temptation or urge" for royal men to marry someone who “would fit the mould” in his explosive Netflix documentary.
In the Netflix series, Harry said: "I think for so many people in the family, especially the men, there could be a temptation or an urge to marry someone who would fit the mould as opposed to someone you are destined to be with.
"The difference between making a decision with your head or your heart."
But his comments - which could be perceived as a jibe at his brother's wife Princess Kate - reportedly left Wills fuming.
The astonishing biography includes new testimonies of royal staff, friends and senior politicians.
The Queen's most senior staff member Sir Edward Young, was one of the main testimonies in the book as he described the moment of her death saying she "slipped away" and "wasn't aware of anything".
The real reason Princess Kate didn't go to Balmoral to see the Queen before she died was also said to be revealed in the bombshell book.
