Prince Harry decided to change his surname

Prince Harry may change his royal surname to his mother's: Diana's relatives are against it

According to sensational information from the Daily Mail, the Duke of Sussex is considering abandoning the historic surname Mountbatten-Windsor in favor of Spencer, which was his late mother Princess Diana's surname. This step could become another dramatic turn in the prince's relationship with the royal family.

According to reliable sources, Harry's intentions are very serious - he is ready to completely stop using the family name of the British royal dynasty, which would be an unprecedented decision.

During his recent visit to the United Kingdom, the prince specifically met with his uncle Charles Spencer at his residence in Northamptonshire to discuss this delicate issue. However, his uncle frankly cautioned his nephew against such a step, pointing to inevitable legal complications.

"They had a very friendly conversation, during which Spencer strongly recommended that he abandon this idea," said a close friend of Harry.

British media emphasize that such a surname change would deliver a crushing emotional blow to the already strained relationship between the prince and his brother William and father Charles III. Such a step would only "highlight the significant estrangement in the royal family."

Recall that Mountbatten-Windsor is the official surname of the descendants of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.

The birth certificates of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children officially list the names Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
