Meghan Markle's silent name change to Archie's birth certificate in Kate Middleton 'snub'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle discreetly removed the Duchess of Sussex's first names from their son Archie's birth certificate in an extraordinary alteration.Archie arrived into the world on May 6, 2019, and his birth was officially recorded 11 days thereafter, with a revision taking place on June 5.

The youngster's official documents no longer state 'Rachel Meghan' for his mother and have instead been replaced by 'Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex', the Mirror reports.This change came amid increasing speculation of tension between Harry, his brother William, and their spouses.The Sun previously reported that this move may be a snub towards the Prince and Princess of Wales, noting that Kate's names feature on all her children's birth certificates.

It could also appear as a gesture by Harry to align Meghan with his late mother, Princess Diana, who was always known as "Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales".Shortly after the amendment to the document, Harry and Meghan stepped down from the joint charitable endeavour with the Fab Four and had left the Royal Family within months.The acrimonious separation from Royal life was termed 'Megxit' by the media and the Sussexes' have since relocated to the US where they welcomed their second child, Princess Lilibet in 2021.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click
