Harry and Megan have just announced their new baby's name.

What's everyone's thoughts?

But why name after someone you have been attacking repeatedly either directly or indirectly?

More attention seeking?

Yep they definitely picked the name because they are attention seekers & want to be criticised accordingly. 🤔

It's not that far removed from Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. I think in normal circles it would be considered a bit strange to name your child in such a similar way as her cousin. I find the choice a bit crass to be honest.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 06/06/2021 17:13

Awh, how lovely. Smile

SunbathingDragon · 06/06/2021 17:13

I think it sounds a bit too try hard. You don’t need to be an insider to see that they have upset HMQ so appeasing her now is pointless; if she meant that much to them, they would have been more considerate with some of their behaviour.

Diana was obvious. I’d be surprised if any bookmaker gave any realistic odds for it being part of her name.

All that said, congratulations to them on the birth of their daughter and I hope all is well with them. Maybe she will bring them the peace they need to move on with their lives.

@Nahhh

Lovely name but they could’ve given her the most beautiful name ever and people would’ve found a reason to criticise.
Well they didn't need to provide that reason on a bloody platter did they??

It's massively disrespectful.

Hellocatshome · 06/06/2021 17:13

I think just Lily would have been nicer but I doubt she will actually be called Lillibet much so it doesn't really matter.

@Samcro

People will stoop to anything to slag them off
MN is a weird place. From which hole did these haters crawl from? This thread is like 5 minutes in, I just heard the news, and BOOM, they are here. It's like they have been waiting in the wings to attack.
SoapboxFox · 06/06/2021 17:14

Lilibet surprises me as I had only thought of it as a nickname. However, clearly the Queen didn't veto it Grin

They will do anything to try and keep themselves relevant! They can't make money when the media start ignoring them.

Insult. Really.
Why?
WhiskyIrnBru · 06/06/2021 17:14

I think it's lovely.

I imagine Piers Morgan, Daily Fail, and the rest of the Megan bashers will lose their minds...

It's a shame that they couldn't show his grandmother the same level of respect when her husband was dying.

Quite.

The haters won't let them be irrelevant as they are always criticising them. They just have to exist & some will argue they are existing in an offensive way.

Insult. Really.

Did you say that when Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born? No, oh yeah cos bloody kate can't do anything wrong.

Well I don't quite know what you expect. He lives in America and there was a pandemic...

Indeed.

All you Meghan haterz have been salivating for this moment, haven't you?

Let's be grateful that they have been delivered safely of a little girl.

That's all we need to say.

GlendaSugarbeanIsJudgingYou · 06/06/2021 17:17

It's not that far removed from Charlotte Elizabeth Diana

Of course it is. She will be known as Lili and Charlotte will be Charlotte (or whatever possible nickname she goes by privately).

They can choose to honor whoever they wish with their daughter's name.

Gooseysgirl · 06/06/2021 17:17

Nice choice of name, congrats and good luck to them!

I don’t think anyone would say a baby couldn’t be given a first name similar but not the same as one of their cousin’s middle names.
MattDamon · 06/06/2021 17:17

Seems very insensitive, unless they got her permission first. It was a pet name used by her parents, and husband who just died. It could be quite emotional for her to hear it used elsewhere.

Wakeupin2022 · 06/06/2021 17:18

Had Kate publicly criticised the Queen and her parenting?
