It looks like Queen Elizabeth didn’t have to do this for year. There’s a new report that suggests Meghan Markle might have voluntarily dropped her Duchess of Sussex title from her daughter Lilibet’s birth certificate. Interestingly, her husband Prince Harry kept his title on the document. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their second child, a daughter they named Lilibet Diana, back on June 4th. Right after her son Archie’s birth in 2019, Meghan identified herself as ‘Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.’ This time around, Lilibet’s birth certificate names her mother as ‘Rachel Meghan Markle.’
Meghan Markle’s Title Dropped From Lilibet’s Birth Certificate
Prince Harry, meanwhile, has chosen to keep his role title. His name says ‘The Duke of Sussex, High Royal Highness’ on the birth certificate.
This comes after a report that says thousands have signed a petition to strip both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their royal titles.
A lot of people believe that Harry shouldn’t be called a ‘prince’ anymore and that Queen Elizabeth should strip the couple from their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.
The petition, on Change.org, has been started by Lady Colin Campbell and has been signed over 32,000 times.
Lady Colin says her decision to start the petition was a simple one. She said, “The purpose is to invite Prince Harry to voluntarily ask The Queen to put his royal style, titles and rank into abeyance. Thereby freeing him from the diplomatic, political and constitutional constraints that are an inevitable part of royal rank.”
So far both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not made any comments on whether or not they will continue to use their titles in the future.
