Royal Family News – Lilibet Is Named After Family

Young Lilibet’s name was inspired by Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname was Lilibet. Reports indicate that when the queen was still a tot, she was not able to pronounce her name very well and the outcome was what sounded like ‘Lilibet’ instead of Elizabeth.

The Queen met her great-granddaughter and namesake for the first time during her Platinum Jubilee earlier this month.

Royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti told US Weekly of the historic meet-up: “She was working very hard to maintain her strength. “I think it’s totally understandable that she was saving her energy as best she could for all the events that she wanted to be at if she possibly could.”

He added, “We’re talking about someone in their nineties and a baby. We saw that she did manage to appear several times in public, and that’s great.”

The Markle’s had a birthday party at Frogmore Cottage for Lili on June 4. An inside source told The Sun, “It was a lovely do and had everything you’d expect from a child’s birthday party. But there was no formal entertainment. The idea was for it to be very relaxed and casual, with people free to pop in and out as they wished.”

    No I have not! and You are disrespectful for calling them the Markle's They are Mountbatten's or Sussex's. They just want to be safe and not judged for making a life for themselves here in America. Other Royals have stepped away from royal life and were not treated how Harry & Meghan, and By the Way Harry is my 10th Cousin and he doesn't want to end up like Diana. I'm not British and am ashamed of them for how they have treated them. Andrew should be horse whipped for what he's done and had to get $$$$$$$$ from Mummy to pay his Madame Ghislaine …………..Linda S
