Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen to provide their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with the last name 'Sussex,' using their royal title as a surname. This decision comes amidst criticism and backlash over the couple's new website. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made this choice in order to create unity within the family, as reported by the Times of London.
Since King Charles III's coronation in May 2023, the children have been known as the Sussexes, and this decision is seen as similar to how Prince Harry was referred to as Captain Wales during his military service. The intention behind this surname change is to symbolize the family's unification, which is a proud moment for them.
