In our latest podcast episode, we delve into the intriguing dynamics
between Prince Harry and his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Renowned
author Robert Hardman joins hosts Andrea and Emmy to shed light on the recent
controversies surrounding the naming of Harry and Meghan's daughter According to
Hardman, allegations have surfaced suggesting tension between the Queen and the
Sussexes after they publicly announced their decision to name their daughter
Lilibet, inspired by the Queen's childhood nickname. Hardman recounts that a
staff member reported the Queen being visibly upset, describing her as angrier
than ever.
We discuss the implications of the alleged discord and how it has been handled by Prince Harry and Meghan. Hardman highlights the questionable handling of the situation, particularly the Sussexes' statement asserting the Queen's complete support for the name, which was later contradicted by a BBC report.
Hardman reveals that legal letters were exchanged between the Sussexes and the BBC in response to the conflicting narratives. The real turning point, he discloses, was during Prince Harry's brief return to the UK for the Queen's State funeral in September 2022, where he was briefly reunited with his brother, Prince William.
