Tweeted royals biographer Angela Levin tweeted, quoted in "Prince Harry, Meghan Markle didn’t ask Queen to use Lilibet name, palace source claims."
Harry and Meghan named their new baby Lilibet (Lilibet Diana), Lilibet being the pet name used for Queen Elizabeth since she was a little girl and her effort to say her own name came out "Lilibet." It really seems to be the Queen's special name, not to be appropriated with the assumption that she'll feel honored. She's the Queen. What could possibly make her feel honored? It can't be the would-be honorer's push for intimacy, and in this case, it's not believable as a genuine gesture of intimacy. They're gesturing from Hollywood!
ADDED: "Harry and Meghan accused the BBC of libel after it reported that a senior Palace source had claimed the Queen was not asked permission to use her childhood nickname, Lilibet" (London Times).

"If the story is true, madcap Harry and murky Meghan have pulled off a symbolic kidnapping.
"But that family’s memory is long, and no one bitch-slaps the Queen without consequences."

"Meghan and Harry...
"I put her name first because he is a pussy-shipped ginger half-wit. I think there really is something to the inbreeding thing with the Windsors.
"They just need to go away...please.
"QE2 and Phillip were the last of the great generation in England. Their children were mostly disasters and their grandchildren and great grandchildren are on their way to being Tik Tok stars. If they'd cut their allowances I'd be OK with that...at least they wouldn't be sucking on the public teat..."
If this is Harry's psychological orientation, then respect his open and free embrace of it. If you admire subordinate wives, give the same room to husbands. They chose each other.
Joe writes: "Nothing to do with being subordinate at all...I defer to my wife a lot as she's often right about many things, especially finance where I am clueless.... Big difference. But he is a spineless worm."
Suppose he does identify as a spineless worm? In America, you can be an out-and-proud spineless worm. I'm not saying he is, but he may be more into subordination that you are when you simply defer to your wife in areas of your weakness (or lack of interest).
The great feminist Catharine MacKinnon observed long ago that women, stuck with subordination, have eroticized it. Not everyone is stuck with subordination and making the best of it, but it's easy to see, once you look, that there is eroticism to be found in subordination. If a man finds what he wants there, I will defend him. If he finds a woman who likes him that way, it's not for us to say their relationship is abusive. It could be loving and mutually satisfying.

I think it is only respectful to use the child’s full name:
Lilibet Diana Markle-Mountbatten
Windsor-Saxe-Coburg-Hollywood und Manhattan
Gotha and Elsewhere-the-Sun-Never-Set,
Princess Unroyalled by Old Lilibet
