Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor

[WhiskyIrnBru]

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

What's everyone's thoughts?

@AlmostSummer21

Absolutely disgraceful.

I expected more from Harry.

Diana etc is fine. It was his mum! But to use Lilibet with the way he's behaved is disgraceful.

Absolutely. They have a nerve.

@DelilahTheParrot get pregnant?

LOL @ all the people think they haven't had the Queen's blessing for using the name before they announced it.

It's a lovely name, very sweet. Maybe the Queen is just as disgusted with Charles and William as Harry is but hasn't been so open..? Just a thought.

I like Lilibet as a name.

Love the name and fingers crossed it will mend some bridges on both sides.

I think it’s quite strange to name your baby the nickname of a still living relative. Not sure why. Although i suppose it’s because nicknames are just so personal.

I think the name Lillibet is awful. It's the "bet" at the end.
I think that's just me though, I speak French and it sounds like the word for stupid or beast! Nice that they used Diana. Hopefully they'll call her Lilli.

Interesting that Buckingham Palace has continued its recent trend to not comment or acknowledge H&M which seems to so far extend to their daughter’s birth. If the name was that much of a touching tribute, I would have expected them to make some sort of announcement. After all, Princess Charlotte (whose name is almost identical in terms of sentiment) was formally greeted.

I suspect the RF found out the same time we did

@osbertthesyrianhamster so you do care about a random stranger than you don't know. Coolio

@osbertthesyrianhamster

Yes. Surely we should all be grateful for the safe delivery of any child, to anyone? Or do you wish them ill?

Had Kate publicly criticised the Queen and her parenting?

Charles has.

Lilibet was the name widely used within the family. I can think of no other couple who would attract such hate for naming a child after their great grandmother and late grandmother.

When the Cambridges included the names for Charlotte people were practically wetting themselves over how thoughtful and delightful it was.

Glad the baby has arrived safely

Seems strange to be so at odds with HMQ and what the RF stands for to name your child after the monarch

It's not that strange to name a child after their great-grandparent.

Lovely name!

The hateful reactions to a simple baby name prove how right they were to leave this country, and give a chance to their kids.

I like it.

@Benjispruce3

Has it been born then?

FFS she is a baby. Your post is vile.

They have announced it?

@osbertthesyrianhamster

Wants to make sure she doesn't strip the duchess titles and cut him out of her will. What a chap!

What?

Lilibet is definitely attention-seeking as it was the Queen's childhood nickname, but Lilibert Diana is a pretty combination.

I wish them all the best, but their unsubtlety makes me laugh.

As opposed to just 'person has baby, okay' but gratitude. You must spend your life in a perpetual state as thousands of babies are born each day.

Lily is lovely and as said will go well with Archie.

To me it feels a bit of encroached to use someone else's pet name as a given name especially when you've been publicly at odds with that person's way of life and critical of the establishment they've dedicated their whole life to.

I like the names.

glad mother and baby doing well, as I would be glad for any woman and baby, as for the childs name and who her parents are?, well, not relevant to my life, I need never hear another thing about them! (we could only wish!)
