Reports conflict on whether Prince Harry asked Queen Elizabeth II for permission to use her private childhood nickname, Lilibet, for his daughter. While a BBC source claimed the Queen was "never asked," a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan insisted the Queen was supportive and the first person called. Later reports suggested the Queen was angry, viewing it as a notification rather than a request.
FYI, back in 2021 the BBC reported that Harry and Meghan didn't ask the Queen's permission to use her nickname, which their spokesperson firmly denied. "The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called," they said in a statement at the time.
Harry And Meghan Got The Late Queen's Approval For Lilibet's Name. According to reports, Harry and Meghan got full permission from Queen Elizabeth to use Lilibet as their daughter's name.
It's unconfirmed, but highly unlikely Prince William has met his niece, Princess Lilibet, as reports from mid-2024 and into 2025 suggest William and Kate maintain little to no relationship with Harry and Meghan's children, with Kate even stating she hadn't met Lilibet or FaceTimed her as of mid-2025, despite Lilibet being born in 2021. The royal rift means limited contact, with King Charles meeting Lilibet only once, and William likely having similar limited, if any, interactions.
Yes, King Charles has met his granddaughter Lilibet, but only once in person, during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, an "emotional" first meeting described by royal sources; however, there have been no further in-person visits since then, with updates relying on photos and video calls.
