The spokesperson added that it is “offensive” to suggest that the Duchess of Sussex wanted to remain “nameless” on the birth certificate for her son. When Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor’s birth was registered on May 17, 2019 (he was born on May 6), his mother was called Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex on the certificate, with her occupation described as Princess of the United Kingdom. But less than a month later, on June 6, ‘Rachel Meghan’ was removed, leaving only the duchess’s title. When the amendment was spotted, British tabloids suggested a narrative in which the change was a deliberate “snub” to the rest of the royal family, because Duchess Kate’s name is included on all three birth certificate for the Cambridge children. The reports provoked a firm response from the Sussexes. “The change of name on public documents in 2019 was dictated by The Palace, as confirmed by documents from senior Palace officials,” their spokesperson said.“This was not requested by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex nor by The Duke of Sussex. To see this U.K. tabloid and their carnival of so-called ‘experts’ chose to deceptively whip this into a calculated family ‘snub’ and suggest that she would oddly want to be nameless on her child’s birth certificate, or any other legal document, would be laughable were it not offensive.” Next up, Duchess Kate Has Swapped Her Blowouts for Sleek Straight Hair!
