Lilibet "Lili" Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Makes me cringe with embarrassment for them.
Not the Diana link but “Lilibet”. Abandon the establishment and kick it in the teeth, but keep leaching off it.

Queen Lilibet ??
Has a nice ring to it. Or maybe not. 😛
@divegeester saidYes. Why not just Elizabeth ?
It’s the cynical use of that particular name which makes me cringe a bit.
@divegeester saidDId someone in the Royal Family ask her [the offensive question] what race is this baby?

@mghrn55 saidWell if you have the time to read up on it you will find that Lilbeth is the shortened version of Elizabeth which our current Queen used to call herself as a child and which became a sort of pet name for her with Philip. Meghan, and it will have been Meghan, using that very personal name for her child is to my way of thinking, quite revealing.
Yes. Why not just Elizabeth ?
@very-busty saidLots of people “care” one way or the other. You might notice that the new baby is instantly global news, which is a bit of a giveaway. Who are the “Kardashians” one of the Aliens seeking the Galaxy on Orion’s Belt?
Who cares. British monarchs are just glorified Kardashians.
@very-musty saidWhy not comment on the nuance of the critique in the OP instead of blurting sonhousianisms?
The concept of royalty is ridiculous.

“Spotlight-dodgers ensure totally normal low-key birth by naming baby after the Queen”
The Star’s decision to blank out just the eyes of Megan and Harry in all their photos of them, to protect the privacy they are constantly complaining about, is a nice touch of ironic reporting.
