Prince Philip 'would be sad' to see Prince Harry abandon 64-year-old royal tradition

Prince Philip would have been upset in the afterlife, after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to deviate from a 64 year old Royal naming tradition for their children, says a Royal commentator.Their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, had been known by the last name of Mountbatten-Windsor.This surname was given to male-line descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, as established by the Privy Council in 1960.

But now, their little ones will be called Sussex. Professional Royal watcher Ingrid Seward believes the late Duke of Edinburgh wouldn't have taken kindly to Meghan and Harry's decision, as he fought hard for the Mountbatten-Windsor name.

Going by a new surname "will only serve to further distance the prince and his children from the Royal Family," Ingrid said.

Once his wife Princess Elizabeth took up the role of queen in 1952, Prince Philip became quite upset upon learning that his children wouldn't carry his surname, Mountbatten.
