Considering it looks now like there will be a lawsuit over claims that the BBC made that they didn't ask permission and Harry said they did, its tie the Queen stepped up and releases an official statement to confirm or deny the claims.

It's clear Harry and Meghan have few fans within the Palace but if incorrect leaks are coming out to paint them in a bad light, it needs clarification from the top.

That way it ends speculation and gossip and lets the new parents enjoy their daughter.

It's not the first time the BBC have embarrassed themselves , they have very little integrity or morals.

And as for the tabloid rags , I never pay any attention to them .

Markle has got lawyers to fire off warning letter to BBC because they said Queen did not know about name. Would it not have been less aggressive to just get the Queen to release a statement?

Already the kid is s few days old and she is threatening people with legal action

The Queen shouldn't have to waste her time on such pettiness and people getting offended on her behalf.

The Palace knew this was brewing and could have released a statement but chose to stay quiet fuelling the fire. As I said up the page, they can put this to bed with a statement from the top and not an "unknown royal source"

It needs to come from the queen otherwise it's not verifiable and just a "he said, she said"

I agree with you I don't know why harry did not just ask the pace rather than getting legals involved?

Totally agree with this.

It's ridiculous that a Great Grandmother, no matter who they were would allow this pathetic obsessive speculation of a negative form, to gather pace for the sake of her saying she is overjoyed or not, at her new Great Granddaughter and the name she has been given.

This is the problem with the whole Royal institutional set up.

What a welcome to her new Great Granddaughter that she does nothing personally to thwart those looking for nothing but negatives.

It's more and more apparent that the root of all the trouble is the "institution" rather than the family themselves. They're pissed off that Harry told them where to go and now they've left they're still sticking the knife in at any oppportunity.

Oh for christ sake, stop acting like Harry and Meghan are oppressed and victims in all this circus crap. They're in the top tier most privileged people in the world. I can't stand the royals, and that includes 'ex' royals who want to keep their titles, but don't paint Harry and Meghan as victims here, it's simply not case.

People say their criticism is obsessive, but so is their defence.

Where did I defend them? I actually defended the Royal family in the post you quote. Calm down. I merely spoke of the institution and their insistence on releasing statements via "Palace sources" to undermine every little thing that happens.

Blaming either the Royal family or Harry and Meghan everytime the tabloids run with rumours and stories fuelled by unnamed sources is dumb.

Not sure why the angry outburst tbh nobody's forcing you to engage in the topic.

Exactly...don't some say she talks to Harry nearly every day. Not that I believe that...

Someone get Liz on Twitters. I think it would be very enlightening.

“Saw more trash about my family in The Daily Mail today. Fake news! Sad!”

[Swan]

How bad is the relationship with Harry and his Grandmother?! Couldn't he just give her call.

Everything going on in world right now and this crap gets centre of attention. I wish the press wouldn't cover it, and Harry and Meghan would just go have their private life they wanted when leaving the royal family. All as bad as each other.

[Marsh.]

They do call, regularly according to them.

Tabloids and "sources" making up lies and stirring the pot is hardly on them.

[Crimson Dynamo]

maybe the BBC got a tip off that is why they ran with it

A tip off from a 100% source

[Marsh.]

Yeah because it makes sense to start legal action against a story she knows to be true? Sure.

[joeysteele]

The Queen was shamed into making an eventual statement on Princess Diana.

She should be now.
How any Great Grandmother can allow this speculation to continue, to be there to be brought up possibly now all through this new born child's life.

Actually I as a Royalist am appalled she hasn't just issued an official statement from herself.
I think it's pathetic of her.

Pathetic is the right word as their silence on the matter has been the issue from the start. No wonder members get frustrated.

It is pathetic Marsh.
What Great Grandmother of any decency would want to see headlines in gutter trash publications reporting negatively on her nickname being given to her new addition to her family.

I would doubt the Queen is the only one called Elizabeth who has had that nickname.

This is her newest Great Granddaughter, yet in years to come it's likely these headlines will be shoved in this child's face.
How can any Great Grandmother just sit back and allow this to build.

If she has even a scrap of decency she should speak out now against any publication or people making negative comments on this child's name.

She should be proud to see it continued.
Not have this negative welcome fuss about her new Great Granddaughter.

to call their child this tells you all you need to know about this pair

No one really knows what that little old lady thinks, probably fed up with all the fuss.

[Parmy]

The queen wasnt shamed into making a statement at all..

The queen remained silent to protect the boys..

The public bullied her into a statement

[Crimson Dynamo]

The palace’s refusal to deny BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond’s report that Her
Majesty was "never asked" her opinion on the couple’s decision to name the baby after
her childhood nickname speaks volumes about the ongoing disconnect between the
institution and the Sussexes’ stateside operation.

Royal aides have become increasingly vexed by Harry and Meghan’s representatives -
both official and self-appointed - claiming to speak for the 95-year-old monarch when
they are in no position to do so.
