Yesterday it emerged Meghan’s first names, “Rachel Meghan” had been removed from her son Archie’s birth certificate a month after he was born. Instead, her name reads “Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex”. A spokesperson for the Sussexes has just issued a statement denying that Meghan was behind the change.
