Why the Queen will have the final say on Meghan & Harry's baby name

The Queen will have the final say when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby name, a royal expert has revealed.

Royal commentator Kate Williams told CNN that while Diana is the current favourite, the Queen's opinion will be taken into account in an "informal conversation".

"The Queen has the power to say what their title is," Williams told CNN.

"But in the case of names, it is more of an informal conversation.

"Of course they have such respect for the Queen that if she says 'I really don't like that name,' they'd definitely take that into account."

The Duchess of Sussex greets Moroccan officials as Their Royal Highnesses land at Casablanca this evening. This visit, a request of the British Government, is the first official visit to Morocco by Their Royal Highnesses. The Duke and Duchess were welcomed to Morocco by Her Majesty's Ambassador Thomas Reilly and his wife, Leah - before The Duke of Sussex inspected a Guard of Honour and Their Royal Highnesses were introduced to The Crown Prince of Morocco, Prince Moulay Hassan. During their time here, Their Royal Highnesses will see work being done to promote girl's education, empower young people and support children from disadvantaged backgrounds. They will also meet some of the country's young entrepreneurs who are shaping modern Morocco. 📷 1+3: PA

The most popular names in the royal family are Albert for a boy and Victoria for a girl.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are due to welcome their first child some time in April.
