The issue on this occasion, is that the couple have named their daughter, 'Lilibet'. Thereby, immortalising yet another aspect of the personage of Queen Elizabeth the Second.
In the grand scheme of the Universe, it is within the wing beat of a hummingbird, that the Queen will join the realm of her ancestors. She will do so, already bestowed with a vast trove of monuments to her journey on this earth. As a queen, that is her gift.
A life lived as a monarch is important, especially when viewed through the eons of time. Kings and queens play a central role as guardians of human history. Their images are cast into mediums that transcend time and through which, one generation communes with the next.
Now, thanks to Harry and Meghan, ‘Lilibet’, an otherwise anecdotal detail about this queen, is also enshrined as a monument for the ages. In giving their daughter this distinguishing name, the Sussexes, pay their loved matriarch great tribute. Even her nickname, 'Lilibet', is now coined, to be shared across future generations. There is no greater earthly honour than to be remembered in the names of children. Lots of cultures understand this, and for many people, Queen Elizabeth cannot be anything else, except touched and grateful, by the gesture.
And so, amid storm and turbulence, 'Lilibet the Second', enters onto the stage of life. Her story is set to embody the winds of change, that in the end, we will all have to embrace, whether we like it or not. Among everything else she will be, she is also the channel through which an element of her great-grandmother, the Queen of England, is immutably preserved.
