But their happiness quickly turned to horror when the media claimed the couple had NOT informed the Queen of their decision to use her Royal Highness nickname. And legal threats soon followed, fueling the existing royal family feud.
Now Meghan faces controversy once again, as a member of the royal family reportedly feels heartbroken over Markle and Harry allegedly STEALING their baby name from her! Get all the royal details below.
Meghan Markle Causes This Royal Family Member To Cry?!
When Meghan and Harry announced their baby girl’s name, many royal family observers assumed they honored the Queen. And in so doing, the couple followed a tradition.
Kate Middleton, for example, previously paid homage to other royal family members in naming her offspring. From her daughter Charlotte to her sons Louis and George, each child owes her or his name to a relative.

In naming their daughter Lilibet Diana, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex honored both Queen Elizabeth II (“Lilibet” is her personal nickname) and the late Princess Diana (Harry’s beloved mother). Born June 4, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor becomes Queen Elizabeth II’s eleventh great-grandchild, ranking eighth in the line of succession to the British throne.
But while Meghan and Harry experience baby joy, another member of the royal family reportedly is “in tears” over the baby name decision, an insider told New Idea.
Last month, Princess Beatrice revealed that she and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi look forward to welcoming their very first child into the world. And the source also claims that Meghan stole the name that Bea wanted!
“Beatrice got teary when she heard they’d gone with Lili,” explained the insider. “And with good reason. Everyone knew she had planned ever since she was a little girl to call her firstborn daughter Lily, inspired by her grandmother. Now that dream is in tatters, and she’s heartbroken.”
Princess Beatrice May Get ‘Last Laugh’ In Baby Name Brouhaha!

Princess Beatrice apparently doesn’t feel any anger over the change in the throne succession line. (She now is tenth in line to the throne).
Instead, Bea’s alleged upset focuses on the name. (Worth noting: Princess Beatrice decided NOT to learn the baby’s gender, but “feels in her heart that the baby will be a girl,” says the insider.)
Queen Elizabeth and Princess Beatrice always have been close. At Bea’s recent wedding, the Queen loaned her both a white dress and the Queen Mary Tiara that Elizabeth wore on her own wedding day.
But some sources claim Princess Beatrice will enjoy the “last laugh” over what she allegedly feels is the theft of the baby name.
“After everything that Meghan and Harry have done, Prince Charles may choose not to give their kids princess and prince titles when he becomes king,” predicted one insider.
In contrast to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s children, Princess Beatrice has an alternative route to a coveted royal title.
And the source claims that path represents something that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry lack.
“Bea has another avenue into getting her future child a title. Edo is a count through the Italian side of his family and they’re looking into whether Baby Mozzi may be eligible to inherit it,” explained the insider.
