Harry and Meghan change both their children’s names

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal duties and settled in sunny California, leaving Britain behind, late Queen Elizabeth asked from them not to use the name Sussex Royal since they stopped being working royals.

At the time, their Instagram profile and their website went under the name Sussex Royals, and since the birth of their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor in 2019, they started using the name “Archewell” for their website and production company as a nod to their first born.

However, following King Charles’ coronation, they made a decision to change both Archie and Lili’s names and decided to officially use the surname Sussex for both of them.

Prince Harry received the Sussex title on the day of his wedding to Meghan in May, 2018.

When Archie was born, he wasn’t given a royal title due to a convention which prevented titles from being granted beyond the monarch’s grandchildren, except for those born to the direct heir to the throne.

However, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth and King Charles taking the throne, both Archie and Lili were granted the titles of Prince and Princess, which their parents decided their children would use.

Recently, The Office star Mindy Kaling referred to the Duchess by her maiden name, Markle, and the Duchess was quick to correct her.

“You keep saying, Meghan Markle, you know, I’m Sussex now,” she said. “You have kids, and you go, ‘Now I share my name with my children’ … I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means so much to go ‘This is our family name, our little family name’.”

Now that the change of Archie and Lili’s names from Mountbatten-Windsor to Sussex happened, many aren’t happy.

“Instead of rebranding, I would like to see them actually accomplish something. It’s all spin and rather sad,” one person commented.

“For someone who wanted to get away from the royal family he seems to want a foot in both camps,” another added.

“This pair will do anything to be in the limelight, complete hypocrites. For a couple who wanted to be out of the media, they sure do a great job of staying in it,” a third chimed in.

Harry and Meghan also rebranded their website to Sussex.com.

They believe that the new name will “unify” their family.
