The source said: "Meghan and Harry 100 percent got permission from the Queen to use the name Lilibet. The report is not true. They don’t know where this is coming from.”

“They are shocked that this is coming now; it seems out of nowhere and out of left field. They just feel like it’s more of the same smear campaign that continues against them.”

The insider went on to say that Meghan and Harry feel it’s convenient that this was surfacing now when Queen Elizabeth was not there to defend herself and “can’t say what is true or false."
