It seems astonishing really that "aides" to the impartial head of state are basically able to lie and brief and spin without any repercussions what so ever about that head of states family 🤔
A Sussex source says that the Queen was the first family Harry called after Lilibet’s birth and during that conversation, he shared the couple’s hope of naming their daughter in her honor. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.
