Meghan and Harry’s ‘mouthpiece’ takes aim at Queen over Lilibet name row
3 months in news
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s “mouthpiece” Omid Scobie has weighed in on claims surrounding the naming of their daughter, Lilibet.
Mr Scobie addressed the claims in a social media post that took aim at the late Queen Elizabeth II.
“None of these Lilibet ‘revelations’ are doing the late Queen Elizabeth II any favours. Not only do they contradict details shared by the Palace with a cooperatively written biography in 2022 ... they also depict the monarch in a way the public haven’t known her to be,” Mr Scobie wrote on X.
According to the Daily Mail, the late Queen Elizabeth II told aides that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had “taken” the only thing she owned.
“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,” she reportedly said.
It was also revealed in the upcoming biography 'Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story' that the Queen was angered by the Sussexes’ claim that she gave them her blessing to use the name Lilibet.
A palace staffer reportedly told author Robert Hardman that the late Queen was “as angry as I’d ever seen her” following the Sussexes’ claims.
