Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced the birth of their daughter and her name has caused quite a stir.

The couple named their daughter Lilibet, which is a nod to Queen Elizabeth's nickname when she was younger.

However, Royal Biographer Angela Levin has branded the move rude and suggested that the Queen had been left blindsided by the name.

Angela Levin appeared on Good Morning Britain Today alongside journalist Afua Adom, who blasted her remarks as “frankly ridiculous” and pointed out that it was also a sweet nod to Meghan's mum Doria.

Angela argued that the name was a very private nickname that late husband Prince Philip had for the Queen and it was not right to use it.

She also suggested that the Queen was unhappy with the name and had been left blindsided by the announcement.

However, Afua Adom disagreed and said that Lilibet was a pretty and cute name, and it was not just about being named after the Queen.

It was also a nod to Meghan's mother Doria, whose nickname for her is Flower, hence why they included Lily in Lilibet.

Host Susanna Reid was not convinced and suggested that it was a bit of a stretch, but Afua argued that it was lovely to have Diana in there as well.

It is worth noting that Prince Harry did mention to his grandma that he was going to name his daughter after her, but it is unclear whether the Queen knew it was going to be Lilibet.

Angela Levin argued that the Queen was likely blindsided by the announcement and unhappy about the name.

Despite the controversy, the birth of a new baby is always a miracle, as Angela Levin acknowledged.

However, she reiterated that using the Queen's private nickname was rude and demeaning.

She argued that it was Prince Philip's special name for her, and it was not right to use it without her permission.

The debate over the name Lilibet has sparked a lot of interest and divided opinions.

Some people think it is a sweet and cute name, while others believe it is disrespectful to use the Queen's private nickname.

It is unclear how the Queen herself feels about the name, but it is likely that she will be happy to have a new great-grandchild regardless of the name.

In conclusion, the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter has caused a stir due to her name, Lilibet.

While some people think it is a sweet nod to the Queen and Meghan's mother, others believe it is rude and disrespectful to use the Queen's private nickname.
