The reason why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will have to change their royal title in Scotland
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will receive a different royal title during their trip to Balmoral in Scotland to see Queen Elizabeth II.
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make their first visit to Balmoral, Scotland this summer to spend time with Queen Elizabeth II, they will be known by a different royal title than they have now.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be renamed the Earl and Countess of Dumbarton, a royal source revealed to the Daily Mail.
The dukes received their Dumbarton titles as a gift from the sovereign after their wedding in May last year, but they rarely wear them.
Archie's parents were invited to the small Scottish town, but have not yet agreed to attend the trip. The couple, who are running out of time to accept the invitation, have avoided a trip to the area for unknown reasons.
A source told Daily Record that "it is understood that Harry and Meghan have been invited by the Lord Lieutenant, but have not yet accepted it." He added: "A visit from them would certainly give the city a boost."
The title of earl hasn't been used in 300 years before the 93-year-old queen gave it to Harry, 34, as a wedding gift.
And it's not entirely strange that Meghan and Harry have Scottish titles: Prince Charles, also known as the Prince of Wales, is the Duke of Rothesay while he's in Scotland.
