Did you name your daughter Lilibet out of calculation?

With the choice of the name for their daughter, Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are causing a stir. One commentator throws up an interesting and at the same time daring theory.
Lilibet is officially a homage to Queen Elizabeth, 95. This is what the Sussex couple announced on June 6, 2021, at least in a statement on the homepage of their “Archewell” foundation. Journalist Angela Mollard suspects another reason behind the decision.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan may have been strategic
“I can imagine that they took the name Lilibet around […] to secure the Sussex brand in order to establish this connection to the palace, “says Mollard on the Australian TV show” The Morning Show “. She is critical of the fact that Harry and Meghan have chosen Lilibet.” It is a personal name. It’s a name Philip obviously used for Elizabeth. It’s too close. “Especially considering that Harry indirectly criticized his grandmother as a bad mother in the mental health series” The Me You Can’t See “.
Denials from the Sussexes
The fact is: the baby name is causing a stir in England. So much so that the Duchess and Duke have now spoken out through a spokesman. They made it clear to “The Sun” that Harry had spoken to his family on June 6th before the birth and name were announced. “In fact, his grandmother was the first family member he called. During that conversation, he shared hers [seine und Meghans] Hope to be able to name her daughter Lilibet in her honor. I would have [die Queen] did not support that, they would not have used the name. “
Mollard is skeptical and says: Even if the eleven-time great-grandmother had wanted to refuse her consent, she would not have said it to her grandson – out of concern that he and Duchess Meghan, 39, could use it publicly against them.
