Dr Shola Mos-Shogbaminu has come out in defence of Meghan Markle over claims that the late Queen was angry over Princess Lilibet’s name.
Meghan Markle has been defended over her decision to use the name ‘Lilibet’ for her and Prince Harry’s daughter.
The name ‘Lilibet’ is also known to have been the sweet nickname for the late Queen Elizabeth II, first adopted when she was a toddler and affectionately used by her father King George V and Prince Philip.
Meghan Markle didn’t need Queen’s permission to use Lilibet name says Dr Shola

Meghan Markle has been defended over her decision to use the name ‘Lilibet’ for her and Prince Harry’s daughter.
The name ‘Lilibet’ is also known to have been the sweet nickname for the late Queen Elizabeth II, first adopted when she was a toddler and affectionately used by her father King George V and Prince Philip.
It has been reportedly, through claims surfaced in Robert Hardman’s new book ‘Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story’, that the late Queen was angry over claims that she gave Meghan and Harry permission to use the name for their young daughter.
Taking to X, Dr Shola Mos-Shogbaminu – who is widely known to often be in defence of Meghan Markle – wrote: “God give me strength – people have lost their minds. [1] Harry and Meghan do not need anyone’s permission, least of all Queen Elizabeth, to name their child Lilibet.”
Pointing out previous claims that the pair asked the late monarch for approval, Dr Shola continued: “The fact that they got her blessing was out of respect not ‘necessity’.”
She also added: “[2] The name Lilibet predates Queen Elizabeth for goodness sake – she didn’t own it or create it!”
Dr Shola also pointed out how the latest revelation will make the late Queen look, adding that they would “blight her character and judgment”.

She also added: “[2] The name Lilibet predates Queen Elizabeth for goodness sake – she didn’t own it or create it!”
Dr Shola also pointed out how the latest revelation will make the late Queen look, adding that they would “blight her character and judgment”.
She continued: “[3] What grandmother in her right mind would be ‘angry’ at a great-grandchild being named in her honour?
“I have a very strong views about Queen Elizabeth but even I’m flabbergasted at those spurious claims that do nothing but blight her character and judgment.”
She concluded: “If these unnamed ‘sources and aides’ thought this would damage Harry and Meghan, they’re wrong.
“The Daily Mail has successfully dredged up a dead Queen and given her name a beating in orde to profit off defaming Harry and Meghan again. Shameful.”
A source in the book reportedly claimed that the late Queen was “as angry as I’d ever seen her” after Meghan and Harry stated that they had her blessing to use her childhood nickname for their daughter.
Unlike her elder brother, Princess Lilibet – who is now two – was born in America and was also given a middle name in honour of her late grandmother – Princess Diana.
According to the Mail, Meghan and Harry also previously stated that they would not have used the name if the late Queen hadn’t have been “supportive”.
The adorable name has been around since Elizabeth II’s childhood when she was just a toddler and could not pronounce her name.
