Meghan Markle is done with the Windsors: Lilibet Diana's birth certificate proves it!
On Lilibet's birth certificate, Meghan Markle displays a clear break with the British monarchy by making no mention of her status as Duchess.
For more than a year, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been building a life away from the British royal family. If the Duke of Sussex has had to go twice to the United Kingdom in recent months, his wife, she unashamedly displays her distances. As evidenced by the birth certificate of their daughter, born on June 4. If we learn more about the details of the birth of Lilibet, other mentions catch the eye. Unlike Archie's birth certificate, Meghan Markle does not mention her royal titles other than that of princess. She only indicates her full name, Rachel Meghan Markle, unlike her husband, who identifies himself as Duke of Sussex with the predicate of Royal Highness.
In May 2019, when Archie was born, the former Suits actress had done otherwise, and presented herself on official documents as "Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness, Duchess of Sussex". A title that she still retains, but which she can no longer use within the framework of the agreements concluded with Elizabeth II since her "resignation" from the Firm. Despite the disagreements and tensions, Archie and Lilibet are still expected to inherit the royal titles from their parents. When Prince Charles ascends to the throne, the two children will be able to bear the title of prince and princess.
Lilibet will have a royal title
A detail far from trivial, for historian Robert Lacey. The son of Elizabeth II should not question tradition, even though his son, Harry, regularly speaks very harshly about him. "I don't think he will make the unpopular and hostile decision to remove royal status from his grandchildren," the biographer, author of the recent Battle of Brothers, said of William and Harry. For their part, Meghan and Harry show their distance and shared a few words about the birth of Lilibet on the Archewell website. “On June 4, we were lucky enough to welcome our daughter Lili,” they wrote. "She is more than we could have imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we have felt around the world. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family."
