Prince Harry full name: What is Prince Harry’s full name and title? How old is he?

Meghan Markle has given birth to a baby boy, who was born on Monday, May 6 at 5.26am. Prince Harry spoke to reporters yesterday, and was visibly ecstatic over the birth of his son, grinning as he told reporters: “It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined.” Baby Sussex’s name has not yet been announced, but Harry told reporters that a second announcement would be made in around two days time.

What is Prince Harry’s full name and title?

Prince Harry, 34, is now a proud father and his excitement was palpable as he told reporters of his son’s arrival.

An important member of the Royal Family, Harry has a name and titles to match.

Harry’s full name is Prince Henry Charles Albert David, but he has been known as Harry since birth.

Now known formally as the Duke of Sussex, Harry was granted this title in May 2018 ahead of his wedding to Meghan Markle.

Buckingham Palace announced the titles saying: “The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. 

“His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel.

“Prince Harry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Ms Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.”

Will the baby have a title?

Meghan and Harry’s son as yet has not been automatically granted the title of prince, unlike Kate Middleton and Prince William’s children.

However, the little royal could take on one of his father’s titles – the Earl of Dumbarton.

Unless the Queen decides to grant the young royal a tile the baby will not be an HRH or a prince.

This is due to rules which limit titles within the royal family, introduced by King George V more than 100 years ago.

So, Prince Harry’s son can take on one of his father’s lesser titles and will potentially be known as the Earl of Dumbarton.

The Queen granted a Letters Patent to ensure all the Cambridges’ children would have the titles of prince or princess ahead of their first-born George’s birth but has not done so for Harry and Meghan.

However, under George V’s rules, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s child and any future children will eventually become princes or princesses when Charles becomes king.

This is because they would be the children of a son of a sovereign.
