Robert Hardman has been promoting his new book about King Charles throughout the British media, and it has been excerpted in the Mail and Telegraph for the past week. The funny thing is that this fakakta book has a different name every time I read anything about it. It’s currently titled The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, according to the Daily Beast. Yes. You would be mistaken if you assumed that the book would only be about Charles at that point. The two most talked-about stories to date are Queen Elizabeth II’s outburst regarding the name of her great-granddaughter and Prince William’s lack of intelligence, religiosity, and diligence. In light of the recent medical updates regarding the Windsor family, Hardman’s book hasbeen so overshadowed that Hardman’s decision to retract the entire account of how Queen Elizabeth II became enraged over Princess Lilibet’s name went unnoticed. Fortunately, Hardman discussed all of that and more in a conversation with Tom Sykes at the Daily Beast.
From sources, we are able to tell the kind of love that Queen Elizabeth loved Harry and she actually gave him a suggestion for the name Lilibet even before Prince Harry married Meghan. So all the speculation is definitely out if hate that is always subjected to Harry and basically the hate is out of the racism.
“QEII loved Harry: Queen Elizabeth “loved Prince Harry right to the end,” despite her anger over the way he and Meghan Markle misleadingly claimed that she had been asked for her permission to name their daughter Lilibet, which was Elizabeth’s private nickname dating back to a childhood mispronunciation.
Hardman clarifies the Lilibet kerfuffle: Hardman says the late queen’s anger was occasioned not so much by the use of the name itself as by Harry’s team claiming that Harry had sought and obtained her permission to use the name, after the queen’s staff told the BBC that she had not been asked. Sources later told other outlets that Harry had “told” Elizabeth about the name as opposed to asking her. Hardman tells The Daily Beast: “We don’t know exactly what the conversation was, but we can imagine it went something like, ‘Granny, great news, we are calling her Lilibet,’ and the queen saying: ‘Oh how nice,’ or something like that because she hated confrontation. What made her angry was the subsequent putting of words in her mouth, the inference that they had her blessing, that permission had been sought and granted, when it hadn’t, and then the way that [Harry and Meghan] tried to corral the palace into supporting legal action against the BBC. Her anger wasn’t actually about using the name itself.”
She wasn’t upset about the name itself, which is strange because royal reporters have been screaming for the past week about how horrible Meghan and Harry are for naming their daughter Lilibet. Column after column has been written about that issue, which is strange, instead of the bullsh*t about how the palace aides lied to the BBC in a flagrant manner when they said that Harry had never discussed the name with his grandmother. “I believe that everyone would have to concede that more could have been done by all sides.” It’s strange, then, that Charles’s team spent the entire week telling the media that they were enjoying the attacks on the Sussexes because of the child’s name!
