The revelation on baby Archie's birth certificate has sparked significant interest, particularly regarding Meghan Markle's title. With Meghan and Prince Harry prioritizing their family and stepping back from royal duties to reside in California's serene Montecito, Meghan's influence remains potent worldwide. While typically known as the Duchess of Sussex, this week's spotlight wasn't on her fashion or motherhood but rather on her official title.
Over the years, there's been confusion about why Meghan is titled Duchess rather than Princess. The answer lies within Archie's birth certificate, which has sparked discussion online. While Meghan's full name is inscribed as Rachel Meghan, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex, her occupation is listed as Princess of the United Kingdom.
This discrepancy prompts questions: if Meghan holds the title of Princess, why is she addressed as Duchess? The intricacies of royal hierarchy provide insight. Just as Kate Middleton, known as The Duchess of Cambridge, embraces her noble title, Meghan's preference for Duchess likely signifies a higher significance within the royal tapestry.
Understanding royal titles reveals fascinating nuances. While Kate possesses the essence of a princess, she officially holds the title of Duchess, aligning with her husband Prince William's noble status as a Duke. Similarly, Princess Diana's title was tied to her union with Prince Charles, who held the significant title of Prince of Wales.
