SECRET SIGNS THEY’RE DESPERATE TO END FEUD AS THEY NAME BABY LILIBET DIANA

There’s no denying that Harry and Meghan have had a fraught relationship with the Royal Family since they announced they were quitting their roles in January 2020.

Just three months ago, the Duke and Duchess accused an unnamed royal of racial bias towards their son Archie during their bombshell interview with Oprah.

And in his Apple TV+ series in May, Harry spoke openly about his strained relationship with Prince Charles and claimed the Palace showed “total neglect” for both his and Meghan’s mental health struggles.

But with the arrival of their new baby girl, the couple seem eager to end their alleged feud with the Royal Family – and touchingly named their little one Lilibet Diana after The Queen and the late Princess of Wales.

MEGHAN’S SECRET NOD TO HER MUM IN DAUGHTER’S NAME LILIBET

Prince Harry and Meghan paid tribute to both the Queen and Princess Diana with their daughter’s name, but it appears there’s a secret nod to Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland too.

Speaking on this Good Morning Britain today, and joined by royal biographer Angela Levin, Afua said: “Lilibet is such a pretty name, it’s such a cute name. It is not just about being named after the Queen.

“It is a bit of a nod to Meghan’s mother Doria as well, because Meghan’s mother’s nickname for her is flower, hence why we’ve got Lili in there for Lilibet.”

IS HARRY & MEGHAN’S CHOICE OF LILIBET A SUBTLE INSULT OR MEAN LITTLE JIBE ASKS PETRONELLA WYATT

The World’s Most Private Couple have emerged from their seclusion in Hollywood to announce the birth of a daughter.

Given that Harry and Meghan could give Moses a run for his money in the portentousness stakes, we should have known that this would be no normal child and that its name would be like some mystery of Holy Writ, replete with meaning.

But even I bent double when I heard the Sussexes had chosen to call their daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor.

Diana, as the name of Harry’s beloved and much-missed mother, is a natural choice of course. But Lilibet is the Queen’s intimate family nickname, used only by her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, her sister Princess Margaret and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.

REACHING OUT

Kate Middleton and Prince William have sent Meghan and Harry a gift to congratulate them on their new baby, it has been reported.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said they were “delighted” with the arrival of Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, following her birth on Friday.

A source told US Weekly the Cambridges were “informed about the birth and have sent Lilibet a gift.”

And Wills and Kate wrote on Twitter: “We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili. Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie.”

DI’S DATE

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s new baby Lilibet Diana arrived on June 4 and the date has a very sweet connection to the duke’s late mother, Princess Diana.

Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born at 11.40am on Friday in California, exactly 25 years to the day that Princess Diana visited Meghan’s university in the US.

On June 4, 1996, Diana visited Northwestern University in Illinois, which is where Meghan studied from 1999 to 2003.

Diana spent five days at the university and raised nearly $1million for the University’s Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center in her role as the President of London’s Royal Marsden Hospital and its Cancer Fund at the time.

Madeleine McGonigle, who was aged four during the visit, met Diana at the university and later said: “Diana was the epitome of class, very personable, and she cared deeply for the common man.”

CHARLES’ PANDEMIC WARNING…

Charles told the conference on Tuesday: “It is particularly timely that this important virtual event is being held today as we approach the G7 summit on Friday.

“As the eyes of the world focus on this wonderful county, it is encouraging to see that so many Cornish businesses and organisations are already working together to find solutions to the environmental and social challenges we face.

“I hardly need to stress the planetary emergency confronting us, nor the desperately urgent need for action, yet if I may say so, I believe we now find ourselves presented with a unique opportunity to catalyse change towards a sustainable nature-based path here in Cornwall.”

OXFORD STUDENTS VOTE TO REMOVE QUEEN’S PORTRAIT AS SHE ‘REPRESENTS COLONIAL HISTORY’

Oxford students have voted to remove a portrait of the Queen from their college common room because she “represents colonial history.”

A committee of students and graduates from Magdalen’s Middle Common Room agreed by a “substantial majority” that the painting of Queen Elizabeth would be taken down.

One student even commented that “patriotism and colonialism are not really separable” – and the portrait will now be replaced by “art by or of other influential and inspirational people.”

Another added that the picture of Her Royal Highness must be ditched because “This is about our communal space and making people feel welcome”, according to Guido Fawkes.

‘EXCITED’ PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN INTRODUCE BABY TO QUEEN

ARCHIE’S ‘DEBUT’

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Archie and their new daughter “could join the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony for her Platinum Jubilee,” it’s been said.

With celebrations set in the calendar for June 2022, many believe that Archie and his baby sister will make their first balcony debut along with the Royal Family.

Meghan and Harry revealed earlier this year that they are expecting their second child – with their daughter set to be born in the summer.

Kate and William’s kids – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – have all made their debuts on the infamous Buckingham Palace balcony.

Little Archie will turn three before the Jubilee – and could be among members of the family present when Trooping the Colour takes place on June 2.

TELEGRAPH COLUMNIST ‘SACKED’ AFTER ‘RACIST’ TWEET OVER BABY LILIBET

The Telegraph columnist Julie Burchill says she’s been SACKED after her “racist” tweet about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s new baby Lilibet.

The writer made a series of “offensive” comments following the naming of the Sussexes’ daughter – who was born on Friday in Los Angeles.

Burchill said this evening that she was sacked by The Telegraph, adding that she had a “lovely five years” but felt disgruntled after they rejected many of her “edgy column ideas.”

This comes after a lawyer was suspended over a “racist” tweet about baby Lilibet Diana in conversation with the columnist.

PRINCE CHARLES WARNS WORLD IS “DANGEROUSLY EXPOSED” TO ANOTHER PANDEMIC DUE TO HABITAT DESTRUCTION

The world is being left “dangerously exposed” to further pandemics due to the rapid destruction of the diversity and interconnectedness of all species, the Prince of Wales has warned.

Charles said he did not need to stress the “planetary emergency confronting us, nor the desperately urgent need for action”.

He made the comments during a speech to the Sustainable Growth 2021 Conference, hosted by Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, on World Oceans Day and ahead of the G7 summit, which begins on Friday.

Other speakers at the online event included Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK Government’s Chief Scientific Adviser, who said there was no “get out of jail free” card to reaching the target of net-zero emissions by 2050.

MEGHAN MARKLE’S NEW BOOK REACHES NUMBER 5 DESPITE CRITICS REVIEWS

Meghan Markle’s picture book for kids has already reached number five on Amazon’s bestsellers list – despite its mixed reviews.

The Bench, penned by the Duchess, is topping the charts, as Meghan’s book seeks to “capture the special relationship between father and son, as seen through a mother’s eyes.”

Meghan’s £12.99 children’s book was published today – with people already snapping up copies online.

The book already reached number five on the bestsellers list by 9pm – but is expected to climb.

The mum-of-two was “inspired” to write the book after originally creating a poem for Harry’s first Father’s Day from their son.

CANCEL CULTURE GONE MAD

Woke Oxford students have voted to REMOVE a portrait of the Queen from their college common room because she “represents colonial history.”

In a shocking move, a committee of students in Magdalen college agreed by a “substantial majority” that the painting of Queen Elizabeth would be taken down.

Member of the committee bizarrely concluded that the portrait will now be replaced by “art by or of other influential and inspirational people.”

During the vote one student even commented that “patriotism and colonialism are not really separable”.

MEGHAN’S BOOK FLOPPED ON FIRST DAY

Meghan’s children’s book is already heading for the bargain bins as sales flopped and it was panned by critics.

The Bench failed to make Amazon’s top 200 best sellers list on its first day yesterday and limped in at a modest No60 in the children’s books chart.

Its weak sales came despite £3 being knocked off the £12.95 cover price on the site.

Within hours of its release, copies had ‘buy one get one half price’ stickers slapped on them in WH Smith in Newcastle.

MEGHAN’S BOOK FAILS TO MOVE PAST 100 ON AMAZON’S BEST SELLER LIST

Meghan’s children’s book ‘The Bench’ was stuck in the number 100 spot on Amazon’s US best sellers list, having been widely slated by critics in the UK.  

The £12.99 book has been slated by critics on both sides of the pond with one children’s librarian in the US slamming it as having ‘no characters, no fun, no adventure’. 

Many said the book had only been published due to her celebrity status.
