Baby Lilibet’s birth certificate contains unknown details – Metro World News Brasil

On the eve of her first birthday, Lillibit Diana, the daughter of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, received a different birth certificate than her brother’s. Although she was born into the same family, a slight change in Meghan’s name can be interpreted as the Duchess’ desire to leave the company, as they call the British Crown.

The birth certificate was obtained directly by People magazine and learns that the baby was born on June 4, at 11:40 am, at Santa Barbara Country Hospital, a short distance from the couple’s Montecito mansion, in California, in the United States..

The document requires both legal names, Harry’s first name “Duke of Sussex” and the last name “His Royal Highness”. For Meghan, on the other hand, it’s Rachel Meghan Markle. This is because in the United States, a birth certificate requires both a legal name as well as a maiden name.

This differs markedly from the way Sussex filled out Archie’s British diploma, where Harry wrote his name as “His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David, Duke of Sussex” and Meghan used the title “Rachel Meghan, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex”.

When Harry and Meghan officially left their positions as senior members of the royal family in early 2020, part of the deal they struck with Queen Elizabeth II was to keep their titles such as “Her Highness” but they would no longer use them.

In recent years, many members of the royal family have chosen not to give these titles to their children, including Prince Edward and Princess Eugenie. But during her interview with Oprah in March, Meghan made it clear that in the end, the question of whether or not her children assume these nicknames “isn’t a decision.” [minha e de Harry] to take”, but to them.

She explained, “While I’m pretty clear about what comes with good and bad titles, this is their natural right to choose.”
