Young children often cannot pronounce the 'th' in Beth. It comes out as Bet. So its not a stretch for a baby to be called Betty by her older siblings and cousins. Betty becomes the nickname for baby Elizabeth all her life.
Queen Elizabeth was known as Lilibet to her immediate family, uncles, aunts, cousins and palace staff from her childhood (but not her children or grandchildren) It is also rumored that some of the royalties of Europe still refer to her as Queen Lilibet.
