Meghan and Harry Redefine Royal Titles for Archie and Lilibet

In a bold move that shakes up royal traditions, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially changed the titles of their children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie.

This decision marks a significant departure from a 64-year-old practice within the British monarchy.

Instead of the traditional Mountbatten-Windsor surname, their kids will now carry the Sussex name, a change that was recently revealed on the couple's revamped website, Sussex.com.

This new title comes as a surprise to many, especially considering that the Mountbatten-Windsor name was first established in 1960 by Queen Elizabeth II's advisors for her male grandchildren.

The shift has sparked discussions and some controversy among royal watchers, with opinions divided on whether this move is a flaunting of their royal connections or a simple rebranding.

An insider shared with the Times that the reasoning behind this change is straightforward.

The new website serves as a hub for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's work and symbolizes their family's unification under a single title since King Charles's coronation.

It's a moment of pride for Harry and Meghan, reflecting their commitment to their family identity.

The homepage of the website introduces them as the Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, providing insights into their personal lives and ongoing projects.

This rebranding effort has caught the attention of royal experts, particularly regarding the titles bestowed upon their children.

Initially, Archie and Lilibet did not hold the titles of prince and princess because they were not the grandchildren of the reigning monarch.

However, following Charles's ascension to the throne, the dynamics shifted.

With their grandfather as king, Archie and Lilibet were officially recognized as a prince and princess during Lilibet's christening last March, an event that marked a significant milestone for the family.

Currently, Harry and Meghan are in Canada, gearing up for next year's Invictus Games.

Their visit comes shortly after Harry returned from the UK, where he met with his father, who is battling cancer.

This brief trip highlights Harry's desire to maintain a connection with his family, despite the tensions that have existed in recent years.
