The British royals are among the most famous families in the entire world, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that their personal lives are of great interest to the wide public and the media.
Finding themselves under the scrutiny of the media and the paparazzi was one of the reasons why Harry and Meghan made a decision to part from Britain and settle down in the sunny California. For one, Harry did all in his power to protect his wife and not let her go through the same ordeal his mother was forced to go through when it came to the media.
When the couple decided to step down from their royal duties, which angered many, especially Prince William and King Charles, the Sussexes decided to stop using their HRH titles. However, it looks like they didn’t do that, and the birth certificate of their second child, daughter Lilibet Diana, shows exactly that.
Lilibet Diana, who has been named after both her grandmother and her great-grandmother, was born on 4 June 2021 at 11:40 PDT at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California. Lili’s name has never been formally styled with a title, but at the time of her birth she was entitled to use the courtesy title “Lady” before her given name as the daughter of a duke.
Recently, as per the Sun, according to Lili’s birth certificate, which they got to, Harry designated himself as ‘His Royal Highness.’
He listed “Duke of Sussex” as his first name and “His Royal Highness” as his last name.
The newspaper claimed that though Meghan and Harry said they won’t be using the HRH titles, they have never actually been taken away from them.
On the other hand, Meghan decided not to follow any protocols and listed her full legal name.
On her son Archie’s birth certificate, however, the former Suits star identified herself as “Rachel Meghan, Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Sussex.”
