Today, sources have revealed on X that it appears Meghan Markle may be planning to create a Christmas card featuring the late Queen in a lighthearted manner. This development has raised eyebrows, considering the prior controversies surrounding Meghan and the Royal Family, with allegations of discriminatory statements. A source has even commented, “Get ready for the meltdown, people.” My sources have confirmed that there may be not one, but two “Lilibets” featured on a particular Christmas card.
For those unfamiliar, “Lilibet” was the childhood nickname of Queen Elizabeth II, who affectionately referred to herself as “Liliet” when she was a toddler due to difficulty pronouncing her full name. Meghan and Harry chose this name for their daughter. Many have criticized Meghan’s apparent lack of tact and sensitivity, wondering about the thought process behind including a child who never had the chance to meet the late Queen in a holiday photo.
It appears that Meghan and Harry are considering photoshopping the late Queen Elizabeth into their picture, a move that some find typical of the couple, given their previous controversies like name disputes and using unauthorized photos. This decision has the potential to be one of their worst this year, and it’s causing concern and disturbance among many.
It’s clear that this idea is not sitting well with the public, and there is outrage brewing. Royal fans are left wondering whether this means that either Lily (Lilibet) already has a genuine photo with Queen Elizabeth, or if the Sussexes plan to use photo editing or AI to create the illusion of such a meeting. Sources have previously reported that Queen Elizabeth II declined a request from her grandson Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for a meeting with “Lilibet” before her passing. They had made this request during their visit to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, even hoping to have a private photographer document the moment. However, this request was denied due to concerns that the photos would be shared with media outlets.
Now, Meghan’s attempt to include a common picture of the Queen and her daughter in this year’s Christmas card without any editing or manipulation is raising questions. It’s seen by some as an attempt to capitalize on the memory of the beloved monarch, despite the fact that she never had the opportunity to meet her great-grandchild.
Prince Harry is already facing backlash for involving Queen Elizabeth II in his security and legal disputes, and Meghan has faced accusations of discrimination for reportedly rejecting assistance from an inquiry. If they indeed decide to use Queen Elizabeth in a holiday card, the backlash is expected to escalate significantly, considering the repeated instances of disrespect toward her over the years. These controversies seem never-ending, with each new development from Harry and Meghan sparking fresh criticism.
