In a notable break from tradition, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially altered their children’s surnames, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie. The couple’s newly launched website, sussex.com, prominently features this change, transitioning from the historic Mountbatten-Windsor to Sussex. However, the couple’s use of royal titles for their children has sparked surprise and accusations of flaunting their royal connections. Read on for more details!

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Make Headlines With A Shocking Move 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have broken a 64-year royal tradition by changing their children’s surnames. Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie now use the surname Sussex instead of Mountbatten-Windsor. According to The Mirror, this change was spotted on their new website, sussex.com. 

The original surname, Mountbatten-Windsor, was decided in 1960 by the Privy Counsel, the official advisors to the late Queen Elizabeth II. It was meant for the male-line descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. A source informed that the reality behind Harry and Meghan’s new website is relatively straightforward.

It serves as a central place for their work and highlights that, since the King’s coronation, the family has shared the same surname for the first time. The source remarked, “It represents their unification, and it’s a proud moment.” The couple’s choice to use their children’s royal titles has surprised many. They have accused them of flaunting their connections to the British Royal Family.

Why Didn’t Archie & Lilibet Receive Titles At Birth?

When visiting their new website, users are greeted by the homepage, which introduces it as the official site of “The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan, The Duke & Duchess of Sussex.” The site also features a special coat of arms designed specifically for Meghan. Additionally, the website provides detailed biographies of both Harry and Meghan.

According to Harry’s biography, he lives in California with his wife Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. When Archie and Lilibet were born, they didn’t get the royal titles because they weren’t the grandchildren of the reigning monarch. But now that Charles is King, they’re officially the grandchildren of a monarch.
