Two domains impossible to misunderstand, www.lilidiana.com e www.lilibetdiana.com, the first recorded on May 31, the second on June 4, day of the birth of the daughter of Harry and Meghan.
I royal watchers it had taken little time to put two and two together, assuming immediately that the dukes of Sussex themselves had created them. Almost a month later, confirmation came from a spokesperson for the couple who spoke with the Telegraph.
«As is customary with public figures a significant number of domains have been purchased from all potential names that have been considered, to protect themselves from the exploitation of the name once it has been chosen and shared, ”the source specified.
The final choice, according to Daily Mail, would be submitted to Queen Elizabeth, and if she did not agree the Sussexes would have opted for another likely name.
In the end, as pointed out by many, the sovereign would have given her consent, despite a certain surprise. Lilibet, as it is known, is the nickname with which the future queen was called as a child in the family. It was her father who gave it to her, when she was not yet good at pronouncing his name. As time went by, loved ones would have called her that way, her mother Elizabeth, her sister Margaret, and, lastly, her husband Philip, who passed away last April at the age of 99.
This is the reason why many saw the choice of Harry and Meghan as an affront, and not a homage. The couple responded firmly to these allegations, lashing out at the British media, BBC above all, which questioned their good faith. They claimed it was “false and defamatory” to spread the news that the sovereign had never been asked for permission, and that such falsehoods were not to be repeated.
From Buckingham Palace, as usual, they pulled out of any quarrel, but did not clarify the question of the permit, which remains open. Did Harry and Meghan really appropriate the queen’s nickname or did they get her blessing? In the now infinite history of the Megxit, everything (and the opposite of everything) can have happened.
