Depending on who is doing the reporting, it seems like a lot of royal critics and media outlets believe that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did Queen Elizabeth a huge disservice by using her private nickname in a very public manner by naming their daughter Lilibet. The Daily Mail claimed that the late Queen of England was furious that her grandson and his wife had chosen her nickname for their daughter, while The Telegraph called it "Harry and Meghan's final insult" to the queen. Royal author Robert Hardman even said in his book, "Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story," that royal aides had never seen the queen so mad before, as she reportedly told her aides, "I don't own the palaces, I don't own the paintings, the only thing I own is my name. And now they've taken that."

But as the saying goes, recollections may vary, because other reports suggest that these claims couldn't be further from the truth.
