Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor


Lilibet is the personal nickname of Queen Elizabeth II.
I am not sure whether the choice of the baby's name is a sign of respect or of disrespect.

Here this is a topic as well:

Since that interview, Harry has shared his own sense of trauma, comparing being a member of the Royal Family to “being in a zoo.” So for many monarchists, the couple’s choice names was yet another example of their scheming, manipulative, disrespectful, thumb-in-the-eye approach to the Windsors.



Not even three days old, the baby has already attracted outrage. “Of course they explained the name origins, just in case you didn’t know how they were honouring the Royal Family,” wrote one Twitter follower. “Very calculated.” Another chimed in, “They might as well called her cash cow.” Succinctly framing the problem, someone tweeted, “So after all the grief they caused Her Maj they use her pet name. They have no moral compass.” And another argued, “Harry & Meghan name their daughter after the racist #RoyalFamily, esp. the Queen who could let racism rampant in the ‘institution’, was a bad mother, the matriarch of a firm causing genetic pain & the enabler of her family’s suffering, including being trapped in the firm.”

As it happens, I have also been born on a 4th of June.

So I will always easily remember this little baby's birthday.

I don't know whether somebody has remarked this already -
but little Lilibet Diana can count herself lucky that she was not named "sausage", as Prince Philip used to call his wife.

Here I dis-agree with good old William.
