Prince Harry’s first name has been changed and himself does not understand why. As for his wife, his second first name is highlighted.
A first name follows us for life, but sometimes some nicknames stick to our skin. This is particularly the case for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Indeed, the couple known under the name of Sussex or Mountbatten-Windsor was never called by their real first name. Prince Harry, himself, does not explain it. “”Everyone calls me Harry. I don’t understand“, He told the Mirror newspaper. The first name Harry was thus used throughout his life by the public and his entourage. Nevertheless, on special occasions, his full name is mentioned, as was the case During her marriage: “His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales and Mrs. Meghan Markle are engaged“.
So, how to explain this change of first name? Henry, derived from the French name Henri, would have been available in Harry since the Middle Ages, as a kind of nickname. Besides, most monarchs were called Harry instead of Henry, as for Henry VIII. Finally, during his military service, Prince Harry was also nicknamed “Captain Harry Wales” in reference to the Prince of Wales who says Wales in English.
What about Meghan Markle? Prince Henry’s wife calls himself by his second first name, Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex has chosen this first name when she was an actress, and that is how most people knew her. But in reality, his real first name is Rachel Meghan Markle. This time, it was during the birth of Archie in 2019 that the birth certificate stipulated the complete names of young parents: “His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex “and” Rachel Meghan his Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex “.
-Five years after leaving London and the British royal family, the couple lives in Montecito, California, with their children Archie and Lilibeth.
