However, according to the Daily Express, their rebrand might involve a new last name, with "Mountbatten-Windsor" being dropped in favor of "Spencer," which was Princess Diana's maiden name.
If this report is true, it would be another blow to Harry, as his late grandfather Prince Philip fought hard to establish the "Mountbatten-Windsor" name for his non-throne-bound descendants. Queen Elizabeth supposedly supported this change out of love for him. It's interesting that Harry and Meghan are considering a surname change.
Meghan has distanced herself so much from her own "Markle" brand that she now seeks a complete reinvention, perhaps attempting to hide her past. Legally, there's nothing stopping them from doing so if they wish.
Meghan probably believes that changing their surname means she will lay claim to the Spencer tiara, but Earl Spencer, in a cryptic Instagram comment, implied that Harry and Meghan are merely daydreaming. He likely suggests that they will never be welcomed into the Spencer genealogy. It's time they let Diana's memory rest in peace.
Considering all the trouble they have caused with both of their families, it's audacious of Earl Spencer to even think of asking them to be a part of their honorable family name. The association of their merchandise with his name is beyond creepy and surely brings pain to William. I find it extremely bizarre and sickening that they continue to push this supposed likeness of Meghan and Diana.
Meghan is so fixated on Harry's late mother, Diana. However, Meghan can never be like Diana. Although Diana was not flawless, she possessed more class, elegance, beauty, and care than Meghan ever could. Harry's late mother, Doria, would never have treated our beloved late Queen and Prince Philip the way Harry and Meghan have.
Changing their name won't alter their personalities or magically bring forth new opportunities. Harry and Meghan have already done the damage, and being a Spencer will not change anything. They have become almost a laughingstock and a subject of ridicule. No one will ever like, respect, or fully accept them again.
In my opinion, these two women couldn't be more different. If Diana were still alive today, you can be certain that Meghan would never have gained a foothold, or should I say, a foothold as a client, within the royal family.
Harry and Meghan have cast themselves away, and it's rumored that they are considering a name change. They have discussed it among themselves and with others. This isn't an idea they randomly came up with; they actively want to rebrand themselves as Harry and Meghan Spencer.
Harry would take his mother's name as well. It's all about breaking off from their previous ties. They would also relinquish the Sussex title because, instead, they envision themselves as the new incarnation of Diana.
It seems they want to distance themselves from the royal family, especially if their titles are stripped. In that case, they could become "ordinary" Harry and Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor. The name change would reflect Harry and Meghan's connection to Diana's family name.
Perhaps this desire for change is an indication that they foresee their titles being removed. It would make sense for them to become "ordinary" if such a scenario were to unfold. The name change appears to be a hint that something regarding the removal of their titles is on the horizon.
