Prince Archie’s title Harry and Meghan ‘refused to use’ after it 'bothered them'


Before Prince Archie began using his princely title, Archie would have been able to use a different style - but it was reportedly turned down by Prince Harry and Meghan

This was the case for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's young children until the couple made the announcement in March 2023 that they did not wish to deny Archie and Lilibet of their "birth right" - and moved to change the way the youngsters were styled. The report says: "They didn’t like the idea of Archie being called the Earl of Dumbarton because it began with the word ‘dumb’ [and] they were worried about how that might look." Prince Archie was introduced in Windsor Castle two days after his birth (Image: Getty) Prince Archie was born at the Portland Hospital in London on 6 May, 2019 and made his first public appearance in his parents' arms in front of a select number of photographers in St George's Hall, Windsor Castle.
