Meghan Markle's quietly changed name on Archie's birth certificate - and it could be a snub to Kate Middleton

ok.co.uk:

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a subtle yet significant change to their son Archie's birth certificate by removing Meghan's given names, 'Rachel Meghan', in favour of her title 'Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex', as reported by the Mirror.

Archie was born on May 6, 2019, and his birth was registered 11 days later, with the alteration occurring on June 5.This adjustment has been seen against the backdrop of the speculated rift within the Royal family, particularly between Prince Harry and his brother Prince William, along with their wives.The Sun suggested that this could be perceived as a slight towards the Prince and Princess of Wales, who are currently dealing with Kate's cancer ordeal, especially since Kate's personal names are included on her children's birth certificates.

Some interpret the move as Harry's attempt to draw parallels between Meghan and his mother, the late Princess Diana, who was commonly referred to as "Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales", reports the Daily Record.

Following the change, Harry and Meghan stepped away from their joint charity work with William and Kate, and not long after, they officially exited their Royal roles, as their departure was widely dubbed 'Megxit' by the press.The couple has since moved to the US and expanded their family with the arrival of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021, who recently turned 3.
