Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering a name change for their family to Spencer as they face delays in obtaining British passports for their two children. This decision stems from Harry’s belief that delays in the passport applications are linked to British officials’ rejection of their use of the Sussex surname and royal titles for their kids, Archie and Lilibet, as reported by the Guardian.
According to a source, Harry recently had discussions with his late mother Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, regarding this name change. Reports suggesting that Spencer warned Harry against changing his surname and indicated the legal barriers to doing so were over-exaggerated, with claims of inaccuracies in such statements.
Prince Harry, who withdrew from royal duties in 2020 and currently resides in California with Meghan and their children, has expressed ongoing resentment towards the royal family. His relationship with King Charles and Prince William is reportedly strained. Despite this, Harry has indicated a desire for reconciliation, although he feels that an ongoing dispute concerning his security arrangements has hindered communication with his father.
Previous discussions regarding Harry’s security have revealed his concerns about the lack of royal protection that he believes should extend to his family due to his royal status. There is an element of public sympathy for Harry as he navigates these challenges, especially as they intertwine personal safety and familial relationships.
This situation carries implications not just for Harry and Meghan’s family identity but also reflects the challenges faced by public figures in maintaining familial connections in the midst of significant life changes. As they explore new avenues such as potential name changes and sharing their experiences publicly, it is hoped that these discussions may lead to a resolution and a more positive outlook for their family’s ties to the royal legacy.
