Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Change Both Their Children’s Names

Part 1 of 2

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a surprising change — they’ve officially changed the names of both of their children.

Originally, their son and daughter were named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.

But now, those names have been updated — and the reason behind the change is stirring up quite a bit of debate…

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are often seen as the most talked-about members of the royal family.

In 2020, they made headlines when they chose to step back from their roles as senior royals, breaking long-standing royal traditions. Since then, they’ve been living mostly in California with their two kids.

Their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, was born on May 6, 2019, at the Portland Hospital in London. He weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces and became seventh in line to the British throne.

At the beginning, Archie had a more traditional royal start—he even met his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, just two days after he was born, in a big public moment.

Today, Archie is growing up in Montecito, California, where he’s living a more down-to-earth, normal (well, sort of) childhood.

On June 4, 2021, Archie became a big brother.

Lilibet, or Lili as her family calls her, was born in the U.S. and has stayed mostly out of the public spotlight since then.

Her name was picked as a tribute to the family—“Lilibet” was Queen Elizabeth’s childhood nickname.
