Unusual detail missing from Prince Archie's birth certificate spotted by eagle-eyed Royal fans

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son, Archie, has largely remained out of the public eye since his birth in 2019. Despite his parents' high-profile status, both Archie and his sister Lilibet have been kept away from the limelight.

Upon Archie's birth, Royal enthusiasts were quick to examine his publicly available birth certificate, where they noticed an unusual detail.

The official document lists Harry as 'His Royal Highness Henry Charles Albert David Duke of Sussex', leaving many puzzled due to the absence of 'Prince' from his title.

This omission is particularly strange considering that both William and Charles were referred to as 'Prince' on their children's birth certificates.

On the birth certificates of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, William is identified as 'His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Duke of Cambridge'. Similarly, Charles was styled as 'His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George Prince of Wales' on the birth certificates of William and Harry, reports the Mirror.

Archie's birth certificate also disclosed previously unknown information about his birth. It confirmed that Meghan delivered at London's private Portland Hospital, contradicting reports that she had chosen a home birth.

On the document, the Duchess identified herself as 'Rachel Meghan Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex,' and stated her occupation as 'Princess of the United Kingdom'.

The Royal couple were overjoyed as their baby boy arrived at 5:26am on Monday May 6 2019, with Buckingham Palace confirming Harry's presence at the birth. The official statement shared the joy of Duchess Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, stating: "The Duchess' mother, Doria Ragland, who is overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild, is with Their Royal Highnesses at Frogmore Cottage."

On 4 June 2021, Harry and Meghan celebrated the birth of their daughter Lilibet Diana in Santa Barbara. Despite stepping back from Royal duties, Harry's name appeared as 'HRH The Duke of Sussex' on the birth certificate, sparking discussions as his HRH title was supposed to be no longer in use.

Meghan Markle reverted to her birth name 'Rachel Markle' on the document, with 'Meghan' listed as her middle name, which raised some eyebrows given the couple's change in Royal status.

During a heartfelt visit to Nigeria, Meghan spoke fondly of her children. They visited the Lightway Academy in Abuja, supported by their Archewell Foundation, where they engaged with young students.

After enjoying a performance by kindergarten children, Meghan revealed that such activities are a favourite of their daughter Lili, saying: "That's Lili's favourite class, maybe it's all the jumping around."

The visit also included a stop at a STEM class, where the couple admired the children's robotic car projects.

As Harry interacted with the pupils about their passion for electronics, Meghan spoke of Archie's apparent fondness for construction. During their school visit, the Royal couple also opened up a discussion around mental health which led to Meghan sharing a heartfelt story involving Lilibet.

She imparted her thoughts to the class: "We all have our story. And there's no shame in any single one of your stories. Even on the hardest days or darkest days, everything is a pillar of your strength by each of you being there. Your teachers see that in you. And we see that in you.

"And interestingly, so our daughter, Lili, she's much, much tinier than you guys. She's about to turn three. And a few weeks ago she looked at me and she would just see the reflection in my eyes. And she said 'Mama, I see me in you'. Oh, now she was talking really, literally. But I hung onto those words in a very different way. And I thought, yes, I do see me and you, and you see me and you, but as I look around this room, I see myself in all of you as well."
