PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE HAVE USED THEIR MAIDEN NAMES ON LILIBET’S BIRTH
CERTIFICATES

Unlike Archie, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born at the Santa Barbara
Cottage Hospital in California on June 04, 2022. At the time of their daughter’s
birth, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not working royals. They had stepped
down from their role and relocated to the United States from the United Kingdom.
Also, following their exit, the couple was stripped from the titles of His Royal
Highness and Her Royal Highness.

Thus, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had to use their maiden names in Santa
Barbara. The younger prince has The Duke of Sussex, His Royal Highness written
on Lilibet’s birth certificate as it is his legal name. Markle, on the other
hand, is addressed as Rachel Meghan Markle in the document as mentioned by TMZ

It might surprise you that Meghan is not the first name of the Duchess legally
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-not-just-the-royal-tag-meghan-markle-has-also-dropped-her-real-name-for-an-uncanny-reason/].
Over the years, she has adapted her middle name, Meghan, as her first name.
 Interestingly, on Archie’s birth certificate, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
have listed Prince of the United Kingdom and Princess of the United Kingdom as
their professions. However, this is not the case with their daughter’s
documents.
