Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's penchant for the limelight continues unabated, this time with Harry making a conspicuous appearance in a parking lot – their favored backdrop for photo opportunities.
Recently, he was captured jogging in Santa Barbara, California, sporting a black jacket and matching shorts, as reported by Back Grid. This sighting comes in the wake of rumors circulating about Queen Elizabeth expressing her displeasure over the couple's choice to name their daughter Lilibet, a childhood nickname of the late monarch.
As Harry braved the brisk January weather for his post-workout session, his serious and somewhat frowning expression did not go unnoticed by onlookers. Once again, the royal couple orchestrated a photo shoot in a Back Grid car park, triggering varied reactions from fans. One commenter humorously remarked on the staged nature of the photos, suggesting that Harry seemed "sloppy and filthy as hell," while another questioned the choice of a car park for jogging and playfully mocked the perceived repetition of this setting in the couple's photo shoots.
In the ongoing saga of Harry and Meghan's interactions with the royal family, it was reported that Queen Elizabeth was deeply upset about the use of her childhood nickname for their daughter. According to a member of her staff, the Queen expressed unprecedented anger, stating that the only thing she truly owns is her name, now seemingly taken from her. This revelation was disclosed in the latest installment of the biography "Charles: The New King, New Court – The Inside Story" by the renowned writer Robert Hardman, exclusively serialized in the Daily Mail.
The couple, not content with public statements, reportedly instructed their legal team to send letters to news broadcasters and publishers, notably targeting the BBC. These letters categorically denied allegations that they did not seek permission for using the nickname and deemed such claims false and defamatory. However, when attempts were made to involve the palace in supporting their version of events, they were met with resistance. The Queen, still reeling from the fallout of the Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, stood firm, and the threats of legal action against the BBC never materialized.
In the aftermath of this revelation, palace staff reportedly felt a sense of relief. The late Queen's strong reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's naming choice for their daughter had been exposed by the royal biographer, shedding light on the tensions within the royal family.
