Meghan and Harry’s children were known to royal fans as Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor. But they are no longer called that.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have apparently secretly, quietly changed the names of their two children. As “The Times” reports, four-year-old Archie and Lilibet, who is two years younger, are no longer called Mountbatten-Windsor. Like their parents, the two now go by the name Sussex. According to the report, the two have had the new surname since the coronation of King Charles III.
The change was decided to “unify” the family, says an anonymous source. This is a “proud moment” for the Sussexes. There is said to have been “certainly no problem” regarding the use of the new surname. There had already been a stir about Lilibet and Archie in 2022. For a long time it was not clear what titles the two children would have after the Queen’s death.
Fuss about new website
The announcement of the new names also coincides with the launch of Harry and Meghan’s new website “sussex.com” a few days ago. All of the couple’s activities are bundled there and those interested can find out more about their charity work or their film production company. “sussexroyal.com”, the old site before “Megxit”, is still accessible, but points to the new homepage.
However, the new website is currently receiving a lot of criticism. Some royalty fans are bothered by Harry and Meghan’s continued use of the royal name Sussex, as they formally stepped down from their duties as senior royals in the British royal family at the end of March 2020. However, this is her formal last name. The use of the official royal coat of arms also caused some irritation.
