    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s spokesman confirmed the couple snapped up the domain name lilibetdiana.com the day their baby arrived and registered lildiana.com two days before her birth. The move has raised further questions over whether Harry and Meghan asked the Queen about naming the tot after Her Majesty’s childhood family nickname.

    And royal commentator Dan Wootton said it was “genuinely astonishing” the Sussexes were buying websites on the day their little girl was born.

    The GB News presenter branded it a “new low” for the pair, who quit royal duties last year for a new life in America.

    Writing in his MailOnline column, Mr Wootton said: “It’s genuinely astonishing to me that even when going through what should be one of the most beautiful, pure and nerve-wracking moments of their lives, the Sussex machine was thinking about bloody websites.”

    His comments come after a spokesman for the Sussexes confirmed they bought a “significant number” of domains for potential names.

    The spokesman told The Telegraph: “Of course, as is often customary with public figures, a significant number of domains of any potential names that were considered were purchased by their team to protect against the exploitation of the name once it was later chosen and publicly shared.”

    Harry and Meghan announced their second child Lilibet “Lili” Diana’s birth two days after her arrival.

    They named her after the monarch’s childhood family nickname which was first used when Princess Elizabeth was just a toddler and unable to pronounce her own moniker properly.

    But the choice has sparked controversy amid questions over whether the Sussexes sought the Queen’s permission.

    “During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour.

    “Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.”

    Harry and Meghan are living in California after quitting royal duties last year.

    The couple hit out at the royals in their controversial Oprah Winfrey interview in March, which even saw them make racism accusations.

    The tell-all TV interview plunged the monarchy into a fresh crisis just one year after Megxit.

    Harry is expected to return to the UK any day now for the unveiling of a Princess Diana statue.

    It is only the second time he has travelled to Britain since he and Meghan quit as working royals.
