Why were Meghan Markle’s names removed from Archie’s birth certificate?

Sussexes’ birth certificate move seen as early sign of

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a surprising move by quietly removing the Duchess of Sussex’s first names from their son Archie’s birth certificate, causing quite a stir. The change, which took place just 11 days after Archie’s birth, replaced ‘Rachel Meghan’ with ‘Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex’. This unexpected alteration came amidst rumors of a growing rift between Harry, his brother William, and their partners.

The decision to erase Meghan’s first names from the birth certificate has been interpreted in various ways. Some see it as a deliberate snub to the Prince and Princess of Wales, as all three of their children have Kate’s names on their birth certificates.

It may also be seen as Harry placing Meghan on equal footing with his late mother, Princess Diana, who was known as “Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales”. This move was followed by Harry and Meghan distancing themselves from the joint charity with the Fab Four and ultimately stepping back from their royal duties, a move that was later dubbed ‘Megxit’ by commentators.

The discovery of this amendment has raised questions and sparked speculation. Lady Colin Campbell described it as “extraordinary” and emphasized that it raises many questions about the couple’s intentions.

Birth certificate alteration sparks speculation

Dickie Arbiter, the Queen’s former press secretary, suggested that the changes could be “an early part of their plan”, while royal expert Ingrid Seward remarked: “For a royal to change a birth certificate is unprecedented but to remove forenames is remarkable. Perhaps this is another sign they were desperate to do something different to the Cambridges.”

The relationship between Harry and Meghan and the royal family seems to be growing more strained. This was evident following the release of Harry’s memoir, “Spare”, in which he detailed his account of his relationships with senior members of the Firm, including his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. Despite the distance from the royal family, Harry and Meghan welcomed their second child, Lilibet, after the passing of the late Queen.

The changes to Archie’s birth certificate and the subsequent events have left many wondering about the couple’s intentions and their future relationship with the royal family. The couple’s decision to forge their own path has undoubtedly caused a significant shift in their dynamic with the Firm.
