At the time of Archie’s birth, royal fans quickly scrutinized his birth certificate, which is a public record. They noticed that Harry’s name was listed as “His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex,” strikingly omitting the title “Prince.”
On the same document, Meghan was listed as “Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.” Similar to her husband, her occupation was registered as “Princess of the United Kingdom.”
