Harry And Meghan -V- The Bbc

[naomi24]

//Buckingham Palace has become embroiled in a row over whether the Queen was consulted over the naming of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter.//

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jun/09/harry-and-meghan-push-back-at-claim-queen-not-consulted-on-lilibet-name

Reading through this report it appears that Harry told the queen of their intention to name their daughter Lilibet, but contrary to their claim they didn’t actually seek her permission.

Goodness knows where all this controversy with those two will end, but the plot thickens.

It'll end, if and when, the media stop trying to stir it.

[jennyjoan]

I do think harry and meg can call their little girl anything and don't need permission from the Queen.

[Mozz71]

Mountain out of a molehill by the sounds. If Harry told his Grandmother of their intention, you have to assumed she was happy for it to happen, or they would not have gone ahead with the name.

[Jackdaw33]

I don't see what the fuss is about. If the Queen had objected at the time she would have made it clear. This really is something over nothing.

[johnny.5]

where's Kek when you need him ?

[dannyk13]

Is it not time that the media left this couple to get on with their lives?

[Mamyalynne]

Nothing to do with me and I would hope that the Queen is charmed by their choice.

[New Judge]

What this is about is not the issue itself but whether this pair can be relied upon to utter the truth.

The Duchess, in particular, has been found wanting in that respect once or twice and the Duke seems bamboozled and devoid of stability by a woke and mental heath agenda.

[pixie374]

NJ, I don't believe for one moment that you rely on them to utter the truth- or even the media to. Nobody cares.

[naomi24]

//Nobody cares.//

You don't but you shouldn't presume speak for others.

[Stickybottle]

After what H&M have put the royal family through recently I am frankly amazed that they even had the unmitigated gall to name the child that in the first place

[pixie374]

Naomi, anyone who believes the media gives the truth- has enough problems to deal with already. When people get upset or outraged without even knowing these people- it isn't about them "caring", it's about them needing help.

[naomi24]

Haha! Ahh, another of your lessons, pixie. :o)

[pixie374]

If you like :-). But no actual response... lol

[Peter Pedant]

no cause of action - for libel
Harry goes to the Land of the Free to escape media intrusion
and forgets the first amendment, ( and the second, and he doesnt count beyond two)

and talks about libel in a country where there isnt any ( simplifying it for Ab - libel that is)

oh lardy dah

[naomi24]

I’m speculating but I think they told the queen they were going to use the name but didn’t actively seek her permission - a demonstration that with their new found freedom they can do exactly as they please - which of course they can - not that I think their little rebellion will ultimately enhance their already sullied reputations.

another of your informative one liners naomi ( smiley face icon)

I believe the palace courtier; if he gets it wrong - he gets a right royal rollicking ! O god bung in another smiley face - they're free.

there is quite a lot of space - between ringing your grandmother and asking her if she can use her baby name

o god doesn anyone remember News of the W headline - King Ollie will never reign ? She - that woman - Di - wanted to call one child Oliver

[pixie374]

Sullied by whom? I've literally seen one interview with them. The rest was just media guff.

[naomi24]

One interview? If I thought you cared I'd advise you to pay more attention, pixie.

[pixie374]

PP, the disagreement is "only" between courtiers.
The Queen, Harry and Meghan all approve (going by the link). But paperwork is the problem. According to the report.
