Despite recent claims to the contrary, the late Queen Elizabeth II did approve of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle naming their daughter Lilibet.
盡管最近有相反的說法,已故女王伊麗莎白二世確實(shí)同意哈里王子和梅根·馬克爾給他們的女兒起名為莉莉貝特。
“Meghan and Harry 100 percent got permission from the queen to use the name Lilibet,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“梅根和哈里100%得到了女王的許可,可以使用莉莉貝特這個(gè)名字,”一位消息人士獨(dú)家告訴《美國周刊》。
Eyebrows were raised after a former member of the queen’s staff claimed that Elizabeth, who died at age 96 in September 2022, was “as angry as I’d ever seen her” after Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, publicly claimed that they consulted with the monarch before naming their now 2-year-old daughter.
現(xiàn)年39歲的哈里王子和42歲的梅根公開表示,在給他們現(xiàn)在2歲的女兒取名之前,他們咨詢了女王的意見。之后,女王的一名前工作人員聲稱,伊麗莎白“像我見過的那樣生氣”。
The allegation was made in Robert Hardman’s upcoming book, Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, which hits shelves later this month and is currently being excerpted in the Daily Mail.
這一指控出現(xiàn)在羅伯特·哈德曼即將出版的新書《查理三世:新國王》中。新法院?!秲?nèi)幕故事》將于本月晚些時(shí)候上架,目前《每日郵報(bào)》正在摘錄。
“The report is not true. [Harry and Meghan] don’t know where this is coming from,” the insider tells Us of the allegation. “They’re 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 spear campaign that continues against them.”
“報(bào)道不真實(shí)。(哈里和梅根)不知道這是從哪里來的,”知情人士告訴我們。“他們對現(xiàn)在即將發(fā)生的事情感到震驚;它似乎是憑空出現(xiàn)的。他們只是覺得這更多的是針對他們的同樣的矛運(yùn)動。”
The source adds that “multiple people are aware” that Harry and Meghan, who also share son Archie, 4, got Elizabeth’s blessing for their daughter’s moniker.
消息人士補(bǔ)充說,“很多人都知道”哈里和梅根有一個(gè)4歲的兒子阿奇,他們的女兒的名字得到了伊麗莎白的祝福。
“They feel it’s convenient [that] this is surfacing now when the queen is not here to defend herself and can’t say what is true or false,” the insider shares.
“他們覺得在女王不在這里為自己辯護(hù),也不能說出真假的時(shí)候,這件事浮出水面是很方便的,”知情人士透露。
Royal biographer Omid Scobie, who cowrote the book Finding Freedom about Harry and Meghan’s 2020 step down from their senior royal duties, has also shut down the claim that the couple’s baby name caused drama in the royal family.
王室傳記作家奧米德·斯考比與人合著了《尋找自由》一書,講述了哈里和梅根在2020年辭去王室高級職務(wù)的故事,他也否認(rèn)了這對夫婦的寶寶名字在王室中引起了戲劇性的說法。
“None of these Lilibet ‘revelations’ are doing the late Queen Elizabeth II any favours,” he wrote via X on Tuesday, January 16. “Not only do they contradict details shared by the Palace with a cooperatively written biography in 2022 (see pic), they also depict the monarch in a way the public haven’t known her to be.”
1月16日星期二,他通過X網(wǎng)站寫道:“利利貝特的這些‘爆料’對已故女王伊麗莎白二世沒有任何好處。”“它們不僅與白金漢宮在2022年合作撰寫的傳記中分享的細(xì)節(jié)相矛盾(見圖),而且還以一種公眾不知道的方式描繪了女王。”
Scobie included screenshots of a Daily Mail excerpt from Gyles Brandreth’s 2022 book, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, that said Elizabeth viewed her great-granddaughter’s name as “the compliment it was intended to be.”
斯考比上傳了蓋爾斯·布蘭德里斯2022年出版的新書《伊麗莎白:親密肖像》的截圖,書中寫道,伊麗莎白認(rèn)為曾孫女的名字“本來就是一種贊美”。
Upon announcing Lilibet’s birth in June 2021, Harry and Meghan noted via their Archewell website that they chose the moniker as a nod to Elizabeth’s “family nickname.” A source exclusively told Us at the time that the name had “always” been Harry and Meghan’s favorite option.
在2021年6月宣布莉莉貝特的出生時(shí),哈里和梅根在他們的archwell網(wǎng)站上指出,他們選擇這個(gè)名字是為了向伊麗莎白的“家族昵稱”致敬。一位獨(dú)家消息人士當(dāng)時(shí)告訴我們,這個(gè)名字“一直”是哈里和梅根最喜歡的選擇。
“It was important for them that the queen signed off though, and that didn’t happen until right before the birth. They both agreed it would only be right if Her Majesty gave her approval, especially with something so personal,” the insider continued.
“女王的簽字對他們來說很重要,直到孩子出生前才簽字。他們都同意,只有女王陛下同意,尤其是這么私人的事情,才合適。”
Lilibet — whose middle name is Diana in honor of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana — was born in California after Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals and relocated to the United States in 2020. Archie, meanwhile, was born in London in 2019.
莉莉貝特——中間名是戴安娜,以紀(jì)念哈里已故的母親戴安娜王妃——在哈里和梅根于2020年卸任王室高級成員并移居美國后出生在加州。與此同時(shí),阿奇于2019年出生于倫敦。
