I'm not surprised, choosing that name was so brazen

I know. It was appalling

I know a woman who called her son Timmy . Not Timothy or Tim but Timmy . He was teased a lot ( Famous 5 anyone ?) and as soon as he was old enough insisted he was Tim .

Racism in the press.

Do keep up dears.

I didn’t see racism in the press. Can you link? In this country racist articles of any kind would not be tolerated, they would be removed, reported and potentially prosecuted.

Ho do you know about the note?

Maybe they did have a conversation about it, and because she didn't expressly say 'no,' Harry took it as approval.

So H&M, the Royal family do leak stories and manipulate the press.

I have a nickname as my whole name, not even that - the least cool possible derivative of the name 😭😭😭

Lilibet, we are sisters in suffering.

And @Newchapterbeckons there is this cool thing called google. Try search terms such as Meghan and straight outta Compton, exotic DNA etc.

Actually I agree with you, if there was some good story behind this, it would have made spare.

i think for lilli, the sad truth is this would have been lovely if this was something agreed with the queen in a good relationship .

But knowing that her parents were estranged from thr royal family, at the time of her birth, and the queen clearly not happy with their behaviour and desire to monetise their titles , it was her who made them stop the trademarking and shut down Sussex royal , rejected the half in half out after they embarrassingly made the statement on collaboration with her, and put out the withering “recollections may vary” comment, then it looks like Harry and Megan were using their daughter to benefit them, build bridges. Boost the brand. And were not thinking of lilli when they did it.

so true
this thread has some really nasty posts.
I find it strange that H&M are not allowed to do the same as W&K and share pictures of their children(I don't go looking so only see them on mn)
Im sure Lili will be just fine, she has 2 loving parents (and big brother)

Well it's not surprising if she was. It's a made up name linked to her own name which she probably thought sounded a bit silly. But what does it matter?

This is just speculation. I would like you to link the racist articles you say exist.

Williams children are the heirs to the throne, hence the difference!

Because I pay attention.

And Granny Doria.

Well yes, that’s the whole point of the story. The “blessing” that was claimed, and over which Harry threatened libel against the BBC, didn’t happen.

But how do the press know how she signed it? Its very intrusive.

I don’t know why the press has to keep rehashing the Harry and Meghan thing. I think we are getting sick of it. Why is this even news? It is absolutely no surprise what so ever - anyone could guess the Queen’s true reaction. Given the situation, it’s very doubtful she would’ve been overjoyed. Even if there were no tensions within the family, using the Queen’s personal nickname for your child is a step too far.

Take royalty out of the issue. The fact is, a grandson named his baby after his grandmother, and there's no way on this earth she will have been anything but flattered about that.

If I remember correctly, it was visible on the tv footage of the funeral. The late Queen was obviously ok with it being on show. At least she hadn’t signed it “Cabbage”, his more personal nick name for her as pp have said 😆

Well if she didn’t sign it, and since you seem to believe the RF controls the press, I am sure the stories (in every newspaper, left and right) would have been quashed. And let’s not pretend you care about the Queen’s privacy being intruded upon.

That’s the most naive thing I’ve ever read. 🫣

Couldnt even allow her children to take her fathers family name??

She made choices, and that was one of them.

its as it’s in a new biography being released. But yes, when in poor relations, using a very personal nickname, which isn’t even a name, doesn’t seem likely to be something that would cause joy. Elizabeth I suspect would have been fine.
