'Just terrible' Prince Harry's biographer erupts at Duke for taking Queen's private world

Royal biographer Angela Levin has since said criticised the Duke of Sussex for using the Queen's private nickname. Speaking to Sky News, Ms Levin said: "Although Lilibet was originally used by George V, the Queen's grandfather because she had difficulty saying her name when she was very small. "Prince Philip took it for his own and that was his way of saying darling or sweetie pie. "He's hardly been dead for any amount of time and to use this, to take it away from her private world and use it for their own daughter is just terrible. "Lili for what they might call their daughter most of the time is perfect, it's lovely, it's not making a snide comment. "Elizabeth would have been fine but to tear this intimate, private word from her. "They're the people who look after their own privacy, they complain when they don't have it but they don't seem to feel the same way about the Queen and other members of the Royal Family."
