When asked about their choice of a baby name, most people would simply explain with happiness the wonderful news. But not Harry. In an astonishing leap of bluster, Prince Harry called up a friend to defend him, then decided that wasn’t enough, and threatened legal action. All because someone wondered about the name he chose to give his baby. What is wrong here?
Prince Harry Keeps Up His Legal Wrangling Ways
It has been reported that he and Meghan Markle failed to ask the Queen for permission to name their daughter Lilibet and now according to the Daily Mail, “a sensational three-way briefing war broke out between the Sussexes, the Palace and the corporation.”
According to the outlet, “Senior Buckingham Palace sources told BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond this morning that the Queen was ‘never asked’ her opinion on the couple’s decision to name their new baby after her childhood nickname.”
Hollywood Harry, proving he does listen to the news, within minutes issued a statement through a friend, Omid Scobie, that, “the Queen was the first person he called after the birth of his daughter.” One wonders what the couple’s paid PR teams, on two continents, do these days?

A Friend Defends Prince Harry
Scobie also claimed the pair would not have used the name Lilibet unless the Queen agreed with it. We’re pretty sure Scobie Doo has never even met the queen, yet he can speak to her preferences and proclivities?
Harry announced the baby’s gender during a mud slinging interview against his family with Oprah in March.
Why Is Harry Threatening a Lawsuit Now?
Prince Harry’s threatened legal action was then followed up by a statement, “that raised more questions than answers over whether the Queen did give permission or if the couple simply informed her of their intentions in a fait accompli.”
It read: “The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called. During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.”
