Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Will Shield Lilibet From Naming Controversy, Royal Expert Says
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are protective parents and will not let the press bother their kids.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made headlines in the past weeks after the issue of their daughter Lilibet's name resurfaced. British journalist, author and documentary filmmaker Robert Hardman claimed in his book "Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story," that the Queen was furious after the royal couple denied the news they didn't ask her permission to name their daughter after her.
However, royal correspondent and commentator Kinsey Schofield, host of the royal podcast "To Di For Daily," believes that the Sussexes would not let the controversy reach their daughter.
"Based on some of the causes that Harry and Meghan have taken up, I bet it will be a significant amount of time before Lili has the type of freedom online to discover this particular scandal. By then, I imagine that she will have it indoctrinated in her that the press is bad and full of misinformation, according to her parents," Schofield recently told Express.co.uk.
"Lili will likely not be bothered by the sensational story. She will not understand the importance of her great-grandmother because Meghan has shown no interest in investing in the history of Harry's family...[she] will likely continue to be so detached from the Royal Family."
The Sussexes are protective parents to their two children -- Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2. They rarely display their kids in public, and it's understandable for parents to shelter their children from issues.
Meanwhile, many netizens called out the royal couple for naming their daughter after the late Queen, especially after they seemingly accused the royal family of racism. The critics felt that Lilibet's parents were to blame for the whole controversy due to their choice of name for her.
"Why name your daughter after a person who was the head of an institution you openly labeled as being racist and refused Meghan support when she was pregnant and suicidal? Harry and Meghan are two vile, nauseating liars and schemers," one wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response to the discussions surrounding the name of the couple's daughter.
"We don't know what they talked to each other. But After [the] Oprah Interview, with negative light upon RF, they should not even ask for [a] name or anything from HMTQ. They want to get only advantage! Shameless!" another added.
