Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Children Adopt Sussex as Last Name

Harry and Meghan attend event marking the World Mental Health Day in New York

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, commonly known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have recently adopted their royal titles as the last names for their two children. Previously referred to as 'Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor' and 'Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor,' their 4-year-old son, Prince Archie, and 2-year-old daughter, Princess Lilibet, were granted the titles of prince and princess when their grandfather, King Charles, ascended to the throne in September 2022.

In March 2023, Meghan, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, utilized their children's royal titles for the first time when announcing the christening of Princess Lilibet. As a result, their names have been officially updated to 'Prince Archie of Sussex' and 'Princess Lilibet of Sussex' on the royal family's official website. It's worth noting that 'Sussex' serves as their family surname, as it follows the tradition implemented by other members of the royal family.
