He added that it was possible that the couple simply informed the late monarch and used her agreement to spin a story claiming that she gave her blessings to them.  

"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.

While the monarch was not upset over her great granddaughter being named after her moniker, Hardman insisted that the execution of it left the Queen angered.

"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."
