Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie’s publicly available birth certificate has revealed an unusual fresh detail about the Duke. Following their son’s birth in 2019, Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and moved to the United States, where the Duchess gave birth to their second child, Lilibet. Both brother and sister have been kept away from the public eye.
Meghan gave birth to Archie on May 6th, 2019, at Portland Hospital. Royal enthusiasts have pointed out that the word ‘Prince’ is missing from Archie’s birth certificate, which lists Harry as “His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex”.
However, the birth certificates of children of King Charles and Prince William’s include the title ‘Prince’. On the birth certificates of Kate Middleton’s three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — William is identified as “His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Duke of Cambridge.” Similarly, King Charles was referred to as “His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George Prince of Wales” on William and Harry’s birth certificates.
It is yet to be known why this alteration was made for Harry, the Duke of Sussex. It may be possible that Meghan’s and Harry’s intentions to leave the Royal family were sensed before Archie’s birth. Archie’s birth certificate also confirmed that Meghan gave him birth at London’s private Portland Hospital, defying suggestions that she had planned a home birth.
On the document, Meghan listed herself as “Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex,” and her professional title as “Princess of the United Kingdom”.
