While the use of the name, Diana, is perfectly understandable and emotionally valid \u2014 given that Harry was famously close with his late mother \u2014 the \u201crebranding\u201d of a meaningful nickname only used by a select few to refer to the current monarch is simply the latest insult in a growing line of insults from the B-list actress and her willing sidekick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The nickname \u201cLilibet\u201d was first introduced when Queen Elizabeth II was a child, and could not pronounce her own name. As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/07\/uk\/lilibet-diana-mountbatten-windsor-name-intl-cmd-scli\/index.html\"><span>CNN<\/span><\/a><span> said, \u201c<\/span><span>Her grandfather, King George V, would affectionately imitate her attempts and the name stuck.\u201d King George VI, the Queen\u2019s father whom she adored, also used the nickname, and once <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/royal-family\/lilibet-meaning-meghan-baby-name-diana-b1860721.html\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cLilibet is my pride. Margaret is my joy.\u201d When the Queen\u2019s mother died in 2002, a card signed, \u201cIn loving memory, Lilibet,\u201d was laid upon the single wreath on her coffin. And <\/span><span>Prince Philip, who married Elizabeth <\/span><span>on the morning of November 20, 1947 and died in April 2021, is also reported to have referred to the Queen as \u201cLilibet.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Given the obviously strained relationship between the Royal Family and the privacy-seeking Sussexes who find themselves in the notoriously private city of Hollywood, the use of such a meaningful and personal name is, frankly, despicable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yes, many will reject this as overblown hyperbole, with a dash of the standard \u201cany criticism of Meghan Markle is racist\u201d routine. However, it\u2019s simply a fact that the selection of an emotional <em>nickname<\/em> as their first daughter\u2019s <\/span><i><span>name<\/span><\/i><span> is the latest example of Markle and her spare-part of a husband taking everything they can from the British monarchy, while giving nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This is the same couple who happily sat with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/harry-and-meghan-are-spoiled-brats-who-look-to-disney-movies-for-their-idea-of-royalty-while-capitalizing-on-victimhood\">Oprah Winfrey<\/a> and accused the Royal Family of systemic racism, making the unsubstantiated and noticeably vague <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/markle-tells-oprah-royal-family-expressed-concerns-about-skin-color-of-her-son\"><span>claim<\/span><\/a><span> that a member of the Royal Family expressed \u201cconcerns\u201d over the color of their son\u2019s skin tone and \u201chow dark the baby\u2019s going to be potentially and what that would mean or look like.\u201d Harry supported this claim, but refused to specify who was the alleged \u201coffender,\u201d saying \u201cThat conversation I\u2019m never going to share.\u201d To point out the obvious, the head of this systemically racist system? Queen Elizabeth II, whose nickname Markle was happy to repurpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When there is an opportunity for victimhood, Markle delighted in throwing Queen Elizabeth II beneath the bus of systemic racism. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When no opportunity presented itself, the couple were all too happy to take perhaps the last thing they could from the monarchy they sporadically despise: its monarch\u2019s name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
