Meghan Markle has reportedly released a statement claiming that taking the Christian names off son Archie's birth certificate was 'dictated' by Buckingham Palace.
Meghan
Markle
has
reportedly
released
a
statement
claiming
that
taking
the
Christian
names
off
son
Archie's
birth
certificate
was
'dictated'
by
Buckingham
Palace.
The
reports
emerged
on
Saturday
evening
(January
30)
that
said
that
the
names
'Rachel
Meghan'
were
removed
from
the
mother
section
of
Archie's
birth
certificate.
Instead,
the
certificate
read
'Her
Royal
Highness
the
Duchess
of
Sussex'.
According
to
a
report
in
Dailymail.com,
Archie's
birth
was
registered
on
May
17,
2019,
after
he
was
born
on
May
6.
And
a
month
later
on
June
6,
the
mother's
name
was
changed.
Lady
Colin
Campbell,
who
spotted
the
amendment
went
on
to
say,
"It
is
extraordinary
and
raises
all
kinds
of
questions
about
what
the
Sussexes
were
thinking."
Meanwhile,
the
Queen's
ex-press
secretary
Dickie
Arbiter
reacted
to
the
reports
by
saying,
"Maybe
this
was
an
early
part
of
their
plan." Notably,
just
a
few
months
after
Archie's
birth,
the
royal
couple
decided
to
step
down
from
their
royal
duties.
After
days
of
speculation,
Meghan
now
has
opened
up
about
the
report
through
her
spokesperson.
Megan
in
the
statement
said
that
it
was
'offensive'
to
suggest
she
had
wanted
to
be
'nameless'
on
her
child's
birth
certificate.
The
spokesperson
told
the
Telegraph,
"The
change
of
name
on
public
documents
in
2019
was
dictated
by
The
Palace,
as
confirmed
by
documents
from
senior
Palace
officials.
This
was
not
requested
by
Meghan,
The
Duchess
of
Sussex
nor
by
The
Duke
of
Sussex."
"To
see
this
UK
tabloid
and
their
carnival
of
so-called
'experts'
chose
to
deceptively
whip
this
into
a
calculated
family
'snub'
and
suggest
that
she
would
oddly
want
to
be
nameless
on
her
child's
birth
certificate,
or
any
other
legal
document,
would
be
laughable
were
it
not
offensive.
There's
a
lot
going
on
in
the
world;
let's
focus
on
that
rather
than
creating
click-bait," it
added.
Earlier,
it
was
being
speculated
that
the
name
change
was
a
nod
to
Prince
Harry's
mother,
Princess
Diana
with
her
preferred
name,
'Her
Royal
Highness
the
Princess
of
Wales'.
