In a surprising move, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to change their children’s last names. Previously known as Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, the couple’s kids now go by Archie Sussex and Lilibet Sussex. This change reflects their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and symbolizes their unity as a family. While some people speculate that this decision is a dig at the Royal family, it’s not the first time Harry has changed his last name. In the past, he used the last name “Wales” during his time in the army. It’s a meaningful moment for any family to come together and create a proud identity.
This announcement comes a month after Harry and Meghan faced criticism for naming their daughter after Queen Elizabeth. Lilibet was a nickname the late Prince Philip used for the Queen. Despite having received permission and blessings from the Queen herself, Harry believes that these accusations are part of a smear campaign against him and Meghan. He is frustrated that these claims have come out now when the Queen is unable to defend herself. It’s important to remember that families go through ups and downs, and it’s crucial to support and respect their decisions.
Prince Harry’s True Identity
Prince Harry might be one of the most well-known royals in the world, but not many people know that “Harry” isn’t his birth name. His birth name is Henry Charles Albert David. During a video call with a 4-year-old named Henry, Prince Harry admitted that he is unsure how his nickname came about. He has been widely referred to as Harry, but the origins of this nickname remain a mystery. It goes to show that even royals have unique stories behind their names.
Updates on Archie and Lilibet
Recently, Prince Harry provided an update on his children during a video call. He shared that Archie is keeping busy, while Lilibet is learning to use her voice. This update comes as the public has had limited glimpses of the children, as Harry and Meghan now live a quieter life in California. Alongside their two kids, the couple now has three dogs, which provide emotional support in their home. As parents, it’s important to find sources of joy and comfort for our families, whether that’s through pets or other means.
Prince Harry also joked about the challenges of having pets, mentioning that their dogs often cause mischief by chasing squirrels. He humorously added, “But they are also emotional support dogs 100% — when they’re behaving.” Pets can bring immense joy and companionship to a family, helping to create a sense of calm and happiness. It seems like Harry and Meghan have found comfort and love in their furry friends.
As for their future plans, it’s unclear if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will return to social media. Previously, they had used Instagram to share updates about their lives. However, after stepping back from their roles as senior royals and moving to the United States, they deleted their account. As parents, they prioritize their family’s privacy and well-being. Their main focus is raising Archie and Lilibet in a nurturing and safe environment.
