The glowing Prince Harry is seen for the first time since DailyMail.com revealed that Queen Elizabeth was distraught over his and Meghan's decision to name their baby daughter Lilibet – the late monarch's nickname

Prince Harry looked pensive as he was spotted for the first time since the Daily Mail revealed Queen Elizabeth was distraught over his and Meghan's decision to name their baby daughter Lilibet – the late monarch's nickname.

In the chilly January weather, the 39-year-old royal was spotted jogging in a black jacket and matching shorts, apparently with a frowning, serious expression.

Harry's post-training sighting in Santa Barbara, California, on Tuesday morning comes just days after Robert Hardman's new biography revealed the late queen's anger over the hijacking of her childhood nickname in June 2021.

A member of Queen Elizabeth's staff said she was “as angry as I've ever seen her” after Harry and Meghan publicly stated they would not have used her private family nickname if she had not been “supportive.”

The queen was so upset that she told the aides: 'I don't own the palaces, I don't own the paintings, all I own is my name. And now they've taken that with them.'

The revelation comes in the latest installment of a new biography: Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story, from The Mail writer Hardman, is currently being serialized exclusively in the Daily Mail.

Shortly after Lilibet was born two and a half years ago, Meghan and Harry instructed their aggressive law firm, Schillings, to write to news outlets and publishers – particularly the BBC – saying claims that she had not been asked for consent were false. and defamatory and must not be repeated.

But when the Sussexes tried to 'co-opt' Buckingham Palace to 'support' their version of events, they were 'rebuffed'.

Hardman wrote: 'Someone privately recalled that Elizabeth II had been 'as angry as I had ever seen her' in 2021, after the Sussexes announced she had given them the blessing to name their baby daughter 'Lilibet', the nickname of the queen of her youth.

'The couple subsequently fired off warnings of legal action against anyone who dared to suggest otherwise, as the BBC had done. However, when the Sussexes tried to co-opt the palace to support their version of events, they were rebuffed.

“Once again it was a case of 'memories may vary' – the late Queen's response to the Oprah Winfrey interview – as far as Her Majesty was concerned.

“Those vociferous threats of legal action have disappeared and the defamation actions against the BBC never materialized.”

In 2021, Prince Harry and Meghan's decision to name their new daughter Lilibet, born in California and only briefly in Britain, raised eyebrows.

Lilibet was the late Queen's affectionate childhood nickname, believed to have arisen because Princess Elizabeth struggled to pronounce her name correctly as a child.

The special name was only used by her parents, King George VI and the Queen Mother, her sister Princess Margaret, her husband Prince Philip and a few close friends.

The BBC reported at the time that a palace source had said the Queen had not been asked by the Duke and Duchess if they could use it.

Other sources told the media, including the Mail, that although the Queen received calls from her grandson and his wife, she felt she was not in a position to say no.

The Sussexes' spokesperson wasted no time in denouncing the report, insisting the Queen was the first family member Harry called with the joyful news of the birth of his long-awaited daughter.

He said that during their conversation '[Harry] shared their hope to name their daughter Lilibet in her honor. If she hadn't supported her, they wouldn't have used the name'.

They then used their law firm Schillings to release a letter, suggesting that the report that the Queen had not been asked for consent was 'false and defamatory and should not be repeated'.

They said at the time: 'The Duke spoke to his family ahead of the announcement – in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called.

During that conversation, he shared their hopes to name their daughter Lilibet in her honor. If she hadn't supported me, they wouldn't have used the name.”
